I'm having lunch with a couple of players on Wednesday. I'll let you know what they say. Don't make us wait. Reese came home this past weekend. Didn’t say much. I also spoke to Grant Jones, PWO at WR. He just mentioned he’s been working out and learning Bowie’s O...

Sorry, Bogey. Getting ready to leave town for a month and I haven’t posted what the players told me. So here goes:
1. The defensive guy I spoke with is impressed by Baylor transfer Javon Gipson. Said the receiver corps is something special.
2. Both think that Carson Haggard is our best QB.
3. The rumor among the players is that we will be going back to SLC. (I don’t think they know anything. They are just reacting to SFA.)
4. Both players are pleased with the coaching changes. Especially Bowie. The D-guy is ecstatic to play for KP as DC.
5. Bryan Henry, TE/HB transfer from Houston is impressing the players. 6’3. He’s about 260. Could be starting at H. Also, there are offensive packages that could make Jed Castles an all american. (Hyperbole, of course but it appears TE is going to be a bigger part of the offense.)
6. Pullen was mentioned by both players as having really improved.
7. I guess everyone is optimistic this time of year but both these players are super confident.

I guess that when you don't have any fans to make noise you have to try to do something. I wonder if it will go off between every play? That would be really nice. Any possibility that some of the people at the game will think that it is a tornado warning and all try to get in the restrooms?

I have excellent hearing because I never spend days and days of loud, blaring rock and roll music. I was a Baroque and Classical music addict. So now in my twilight years I have perfect hearing. But basketball, baseball, and football games actually cause me ear pain. So, now I am ready to rock because I bought a whole jar of ear plugs. They are rubber and I usually have spares in my pocket so if you need some, just ask -- I might have spares.

That's the same one they use at the beginning of games. This is not new....now how they use it might change. We'll see!

17 days until players report. Still looking for an OT? McIvor seems to be shining in Rick Bowie's offense (heard from 2 sources). Should be a battle for starting QB. Anxious to hear about progress in other areas.

Looking at our spring roster, we only had 3 RB's listed (Banks, Vaughan, Polk). I know we've added more depth with Johnson (NT), Dean and Lara (walk-on) and hopeful about Sunday's return. Has anyone heard where X Wisherd and J Dobbins have landed? I really wish Wisherd had stayed.

I suppose the 2024 roster won't be published until after the Cats report Sunday. Anxious to see if there are new people listed. Mavsman has been doing a great job keeping us posted in the offseason and now fall camp is getting ready to kick off the fall season. The offense "on paper" looks to be the strength of this team but there are so many questions still to be answered. Who will our QB be? Will our OL be better (additions?) and give the QB time to throw? Our RB room seems to be in good hands but who will emerge as the leader? So many new receivers, who will be consistent contributors? Will we throw more to our TE's and will that even be an issue? Will Henry (transfer from UH) be a TE or FB? On the defense, can we get pressure on the QB? Can the DL clog up the line so that our LB's can make plays? How will Colt Cooper and Chris Wright (transfer from UNT) be used? Will Devon Dawson (transfer from Alcorn St) be a difference maker at DT? Who will emerge at CB? Will the two late signees from Oregon St (Mason) and JUCO (White) be in the mix at CB or will Mukes and Tyson Williams be starters? I'm sure lots of these questions will be sorted out over the next month but these are the kinds of things I'm looking for? I'm sure there are lots of other questions.

Bogey, the first practice is 9:00 am tomorrow. I am planning to go for a while. Will let you know what I see although I doubt I'll pick up on much of anything.
