Ask the AD what is going on, they should know, or you would think they would. Got a big promotion this summer, must be doing something right.

I didn't call out the 5'6" kid. He made the team and good for him. I hope he is a hell of a running back and excels. I watched his recruiting videos and he ran like hell but, I am not sure about the competition level he faced. There are some smaller players that have done well, however, you know that it is not common. What I said was that 5'7" and 5'6" recruits were not what I was expecting with scholarships. We'll see how he does in a game. I hope he plays this year as it looks like we could use him right now. I do think 5'7" DB's are at a significant disadvantage. Try being more objective in your game reviews. Listen to the post game comments by Hunt and the players. They sound more like they played well than bad. The team needs a wake up call. Maybe that is the attitude that develops when you start the year with games that are such a stretch. Don't think that builds confidence or a winning mind set.

That kid is a walk-on.
