Been to Wesleyan practice, headed to Buford
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hey … checked out Wesleyan briefly today. They just look so small compared to the GACs and Bufords of the AA world.
Speaking of GAC, I sure haven’t heard much out of the Spartans’ camp. Anyone know if they’re going to be any good?
Back to Wesleyan … second-year coach Franklin Pridge expects to still be playing on Thanksgiving. That seems like pretty lofty expectations, but I like to hear a coach setting the bar high. Plus, Pridgen has 15 starters back from a team that put a major scare in a first-round loss to Calhoun last season.
I’m headed to Buford for practice Wednesday afternoon. I want to check out the following:
•How Notre Dame-commitment Omar Hunter looks, after breaking his leg in the spring.
•Can the offense, behind quarterback Twoey Hosch, move the ball through the air?
•How comfortable new running back Alex Hunt, a Duluth transfer and Indiana commitment, looks in coach Jess Simpson’s system.
•How hard fullback/defensive end Tyler King really hits. I’ve been told he’s actually cracked a few helmets.
•How the Wolves would stack up against 5A competition.
I’ll post my thoughts on those subjects Thursday. If you want me to find something out about Buford, feel free to post a question before noon tomorrow and I’ll do what I can.
Later … David P.
