Thanks for the update, not bad for an unofficial party that no coaches or video were going to happen.
--Previous Message--
: There were between 45-50 people in attendance.
: There was a video with highlights of each
: recruit shown, as well as an interview with
: Coach Tomey. Coach Tomey (and his wife
: Nancy) arrived at about 7:00 and spoke to
: the group for about 45 minutes. He stayed
: until there were no more questions from the
: group. He answered a lot of questions
: regarding his recruiting philosophy, the new
: players, the current players (TE Jeff Clark
: has been granted a sixth season). He
: confirmed that Coye Francies will probably
: play a little offense as well as corner.
: Francies also has the inside track on being
: the punt and KO returner, as Tomey believes
: he going to be one of the best in the WAC.
: Tomey likes Josh Harrrison and Mike Avila as
: returners as well. The QB position is
: completely up for grabs and is going to be
: won after the season starts. The QB's are
: going to get hit in the spring drills
: because Tomey feels that his staff needs to
: see who can take a hit and who shines under
: real pressure. If a QB gets hurt, so be it.
: Chad Bozzo is still in the mix. Spring
: practice starts March 7th.
: Watching the video highlights of the new
: players, I was really impressed with TE Ryan
: Otten, WR Marquis Avery, and DE Keenan Brown
: (three players that I had not seen
: highlights of before). Avery, David
: Richmond, and Jalal Beauchman (all 6-4) are
: going to be like triplets out there. All are
: build about the same.
: One thing I think everyone noticed was the
: overall speed of this class. Lots of speed,
: and players that are versatile and can play
: multile positions.
