*=transfer from UT San Antonio, will have to sit out 2012 season

Still, there's a strong chance 2-3 new names or changes to the above list will be evident when that officials release finally comes.


Stay tuned...

If I recall correctly, Leatherwood and Vigil are the two players on your list who were not mentioned in Coach Mangurian's postings last month about player deposits.

Mark Cieslak is another incoming linebacker with solid potential.

Concern about number of Freshman OL's, there being only 4 listed (Leatherwood's size would make him more of an OLB).This is a position we do not have great depth in to begin with !!

There are five OLs listed at >250 lbs plus Leatherwood. So we'll go to camp with at least 14 OLs.

Jake, did you notice that the Lions are advertising on the NCAA Marketplace for a Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for Football and Outdoor Sports? The new Head Strength and Conditioning Coach will be in charge of the program at the Campbell Athletic Center at Baker Field. It looks like a great opportunity for whomever is hired.

While prognostications are always dangerous, this looks like an outstanding class across the board and one of the better incoming classes in the Ivies.

As to the concern about freshman OL starting, Harvard's starting left tackle last season was a freshman. He had great size and did a fine job. We could see one of ours starting in Sept.
