Dante's A Giant!




We just learned that standout Lion RB Dante Miller '22 has been signed by the N.Y. Giants.

This excellent article includes a lot of Dante's story, much of which the fans never knew during his time at Columbia. It also includes details on how the University of South Carolina messed up aspects of his post-Ivy eligibility. But Miller persevered and he's now in the NFL

QUICK NOTES ON SPRING BALL

I'll be attending the Spring Game on 4/20 & perhaps a practice or two as well, but I haven't gleaned too much info about how things are going during these sessions so far. 

But here's what I do know:

Offensive Coordinator Seitu Smith's offense is more pass oriented than the previous system, energizing some of the players a bit more so far. 

Transfer QB Cole Freeman is not participating in spring practice, (probably by rule). The bulk of the snaps at QB are being taken by rising sophomores Xander Menapace and Chase Goodwin, and rising junior AJ Simpkins. 

I know that doesn't exactly tell us much about the QB depth chart, but that's what I got.
