Re: Practice

You guys have a transfer from Louisville named Craig James who is actually one of Tim Tebow's best friend. They grew up together and played in the same backfield until they went off to high school. So they have been together since they were 7 years old. That entire backfield signed D-1 ships. Craig went to Louisville, Francois to West Virginia and Tim to Florida.

Re: Practice

Chances we have 2 QB's on the field at the same time? Trick formation/play?

Re: Practice



Are the two Craig James' related?

Re: Practice

He's happy to be there and so are we as a family. He came VERY VERY close in joining Tim at Florida before he signed with the fiasco known as Louisville. You can actually go to Rivals and there are some stories for you. He had not played cb much and they moved him there his freshman year at Louisville. No complaints from Craig. He wound up almost displacing a senior for his spot as a starter. Moving from the number 9 cb to the 3rd cb within 4 days of practice. He's my nephew but i have to be bias and say you guys got a good one. He averaged 9.2 yards a carry his jr year of high school and 9.1 as a senior. Not sure what number he is yet but will call him tonight.

FerociousCat...lol. No. Our Craig James is black...lol. Actually before deciding on UNI he had Florida, Ole Miss, his former coach at Louisville who is now at Arkansas and Southern Illinois calling to offer. He REALLY liked the staff at UNI and we are glad he followed his heart. He will also run track.

Re: Practice

Is James slated as a RB or a CB? I know that we are stocked at RB, but looking for speed in the DB area.

BTW - I saw a picture of you nephew - that picture above is a him. He just looks different in a tie...

Re: Practice

Oordt was in Nicaragua for the summer... maybe he's paying a sentence for missing weights, etc. all summer?

or possibly not back? Seems like he'd at least be out there.

I would say highly likely. YSU has done this in the past. Wouldn't be suprised to see some Gator stuff in the offense.

Re: Practice

Zach Davis is alot like Tim Tebow.I really don't think they can keep him off the field.

I liked what I saw. Didn't get up there today.

Looks like he is playing DB. Will have to spend more time watching the D next week. He must have went from Louisville to community college.

I don't think we'll be seeing the A-11 offense.

Re: Practice

How does the transfer from Notre Dame look IF he is in pre-season work-outs.

I for one will be looking forward to what you have to say about the Defense. Not so much the line as they are quite experienced, but the LBs and the secondary especially.

We appreciate you giving us the low down! Thanks Rob!!
