Two health items…
… and one roster matter.
I think the last one means they’re back under 85 players on scholarship. So some walk-on is about to get rewarded.

UPDATE: Bonus coverage from Seth Emerson at Pigskin Preview in Macon today – and guess who the first player Mason names in response to the usual question about whom he’s most excited.

UPDATE #2: Radi Nabulsi has more health news here.
Perhaps the Gilbert Johnson situation was the final push for Langley to offense?

Hmmm. Maybe the O line gets out of the Dawghouse in fans’s minds with the QB talking about this 300lb athlete, Pyke, like he’s not worried what gets past. Nothin’.
If it wasn’t for a new D backfield to conjecture over, I’d be fillin’ my pool with Cool Aide and float around for the rest of summer.

The JSW news is sad to hear, but not surprising. It didn’t sound like he was doing much at all during spring practice, whereas Marshall, injured at the same time, was going through most non-contact drills and so forth. Hopefully his body responds well over the summer. Some people’s bodies just heal slower than others.

Yeah, usually all we hear these days is how ACL guys are far ahead of schedule. So JSW being normal, or even a little slow, is no cause for shock.
He’s got an extra week anyway, right? 🙂

Hopefully JSW comes back strong in July with Keith.

I was about to write a post about that, but I’ll respond here since you brought it up. Maybe I’m making too much of this (or maybe this is just a sign of how low my expectations are), but I was pleasantly surprised at how sensible he sounded for three minutes straight. He answered the questions in a straightforward manner and didn’t spout a bunch of clichés.

Interesting observation.

Yea, seems like he has his head screwed on straight and answered the questions pretty thoroughly. I was impressed by the kid.

I heard from those sitting in the back of the room that Bauta’s answers were quicker and more focused.

Not only that, those sitting on the sides of the room said that Ramsey’s answers were faster and had a much tighter spiral

Pyke being on track is the best news there, IMO.

You gotta love Mason. This is his big chance and he’s going to make the most of it.

Mason looks and acts years ahead of his age. Looks damn near 30 in that suite and tie.

Sounds to me like he’s been throwing alot, and thats a good thing! Said he took a week off to rest his arm, and now he’s got the freshman coming in. Good attitude from him, good to see.
