FB Roster is Up

U'u

Was Logan U'u practicing at fullback during the spring?
 

A good number of walk-on freshmen, which is nice. If you can hit on 3 or 4 of those guys, it really helps the depth of the program.
 

Good luck to the opposing teams radio announcers and TV personnel

trying to keep the players straight with the duplicate numbers 1-5. I'm glad to see that Bryant Allen is #2 instead of the original listing of #82. He would have been slowed down carrying the extra weight from the additional number. :D
 

Glad to see that my #1 jersey will be on some fun players... Carter and Green!
 


Is this common for college players to have the same number?

Can two of the same numbers be on the field at the same time? Or do they have to be on O & D in order to get the same number?
 

Love the single digit players we have on defense.

One of my theories about college football: Beware of the single digit LB! Cooper & Reeves are from Texas, they know what they're doing!
 

Same numbers...

The rule was changed to allow players to have the same numbers if the play primarily on opposite sides of the ball. Didn't we have same numbers last year? I'm trying to remember...the number 15 seems to stick out in my mind. I also believe that the rule about not being on the field at the same time still applies as well, but I could be wrong about that.
 

There are actually a lot of double numbers all the way down the roster. Why so many doubled up? There are quite a few numbers not used at all. I can see if we have over 100 players, but if there are numbers available seems weird to double up. It probably has to do with the positions they play? Anyone know why so many doubles?

On the Walk on subject i was surprised to see Phil Norman for Duluth as a OL, I thought i heard that he was going to looked at as a DT....oh well, just glad to see that he decided to go ahead to try and make it as a Gopher.
 

Looks like Rengel will not grey shirt with the loss of other candidates.
 

Tom Hennessey no longer on team?

I see that he is not listed on this year's roster and that his name has been removed from previous years' rosters. Is this accidental or purposeful?
 

Royston and Stoudemire both #3? I know Stoudemire lisys as wr but would it be so unthinkable to see him back at DB? I guess numbers can change, though.

I don't think hitting on 3 or 4 guys will help anyone.

Tell that to Nebraska. They used to have a great walk-on program. Don't know if they still do. A strong walk-on program gives you an additional boost to your program without using scholarships.

Traye Simmons and Jack Simmons both wore #15 last season.
 

Precisely

The Mackovica brothers had a little bit of an impact on their program. And a bigger impact on their opponents.
 

Matt Stommes's younger brother David is walking on. He's listed at 6-6 210 lbs., but he is closer to 6-5 225. He's got some good speed and with the right attitude could make some noise at DE in a few years.
 

If you can get 3-4 walk-ons to materilize along with the recruits, that would be tremendous!!
 

Haha, everyone missed the hilarity of KoolAid's post, making this all doubly hilarious.
 

or they skipped over the gay joke...

and went to the point of the original post. works either way.
 

Johnny Johnson's parents clearly didn't rotate him in his crib :(.
 

I wasn't sure of all the retired numbers

But I think these are available

19
46
65
 


There will be 105 players in camp on Monday, 117 when the roster expands once school starts, so duplicate numbers are a necessity.
 

Great to See the Cretin preferrred walkons...

Willie Schneider 235lb FB and Harry Pitera 210 LB.

After watching these two the last couple years, I predict they will both contribute down the line.
I was shocked Pitera did not receiver more D1 consideration. He has 4.6 forty speed and I thought was CDH's best defender.

Schneider is good buds with S. Henderson and they work out a lot. Hopefully, he can persuade him to choose the U.

Only numbers to be retired are 10, 15, 54 and 72. 15 is now worn in honor of Sandy Stephens though.

There seems to be a movement towards retiring jerseys instead of numbers. Eventually, the Yankees are going to have to start doing that as well, probably after I'm dead and burned.
