Football Spring Practices start February 22nd

Awful news for Donovan Lee. Maybe a redshirt is in order. Wouldn't be the worst thing for the RB depth chart and he'd have a chance to be a big time playmaker in the 2018 offense and get a lot more touches than he was in line for this year. Regardless, sending karma his way.
Might need to put a push on for a couple of PWO RBs for next fall just to have guys to practice with.

Ouch - Hang tough, Donovan.
And I hope Fontenot comes in ready to play
Tough deal for Lee, but this doesn't change much, IMO. Fontenot and Bisharat were always going to be counted on to step in and contribute (probably more than Lee), and anything we get from Adkins is a bonus. Lee and Evans provided depth and insurance, but neither were special or irreplaceable
Should we try to get another back though? I don't care if it's a grad transfer type really.
Wonder if they are beating the bushes for a JUCO kid or grad transfer they could bring in.
If they find one they might just medically retire Lee to open up a spot. Don't think the expectations on him were high even before the injury not much upside to tying up a scholly for two more years.
I know that this is easier said than done in terms of finding somebody worth bringing in but may be worth trying.

Montez and Oliver with the work ethic award. Nice to see, those two will be key players for the upcoming season.
I'll also echo Buffnik, getting production out of Umu and Tuiloma would be important for the line.

Me too. I remember how he was pretty unheralded as a recruit and then opened our eyes a bit with his athleticism/potential as a true frosh at practices. But he needed to get bigger and improve technique. 3rd year on campus now and heading into his 4th season without playing much. Now's the time to show he can be trusted if called upon.
Hoping we can pencil him in as a 2018 starter.
At least to the point where one of the young OLs would have to take the job away instead of having it handed because there wasn't a good upperclassman option. On that note, I'll also be watching Middlemiss today.
big improvement from Chris Graham

I had no idea that there was a Biek award.
I wonder if the winner gets every episode of Pee Wee Herman's playhouse???

Once the lightbulb comes on for him, he is going to be an absolute beast.
He looks like a linebacker.
kinda hoping they redshirt Ento, then next year we'll have some serious size options with Ento, Huntley, Shenault, and Winfree (he has 2 years left right?)
I like our current crew, but they can definitely get pushed around by larger DBs

Winfree has 2 years. Huntley and Ento both have a RS available. Both could use that RS if they are not going to see a lot of PT.
However, I think we will need the best 6 or so available so I wouldn't expect both Ento and Huntley to RS. Especially if the incoming Frosh are as good as we all expect.
Everyone was gushing about Ento at the end of spring ball. Would absolutely love to get another year out of him. Winfree and Ento as your top 2 in 2018 could be a huge match-up nightmare.
Maybe Huntley is our new tight end.
