Most anticipated player to watch in 07?

SFA, you are smart enough to know how a defense can improve even if it loses 7 starters... if Ned's D was a down as most know, then there is a chance that some of the players coming up from the Fresh/Soph teams can make a big impact... count on it.  The Fresh/Soph classes were very talented, and you know as well as I, that the jump from Fresh to Soph/Junior is one of the leaps where players are made.  There bodies develop, the game slows down and BAM.... you have a great player at your disposal... just watch, that's what will/is happening in Nederland.  The defense will be the anchor to this team, they will be VERY, VERY solid.  I don't exxagerate.  Part of it is also the move of Gutierrez to Lb, which helps immensely.  I have way more question marks on offense, where the word is we will throw it around a lot more... not sure how this will work out.  Again, several soph's/fresh who are up and coming tremendous receivers who will be sophs/juniors this year that will give Sampere plenty of targets.  Word on the street is that you may have two Butler "type" players on O and they are both underclassmen.  I am somewhat skeptical until I see it in game situation, but that is apparently why they are going to throw it around more, along with Sampere's ability and the need to move Gutierrez to defense.  Plus Ned has two great Scat type backs in Bass/Roy... SFA, I can assure you, Nederland will not be down this year, they have reloaded... just watch.

My whole thing is, if they're that good on the lower levels, why didn't they start on Fridays?  I'm aware Ned's JV went 6-3 but I can tell you Ozen's JV went 9-1 and you don't see me hyping up Ozen except for post of them not being a finesse team on offense anymore.  I was part of a team that lost 8 on offense and 9 on defense but that junior and sophmore classes behind us were top notch.  I'm smart enough to know that some programs have lower levels that just step up after losing large senior classes but I'm also smart enough to know everybody's not able-----especialling losing 100% of your offense to graduation.  Trust me, I know from experience.......

Several from East Chambers.

Tramain Thomas    QB  Sr.  - No explanation needed

Vance McDonald    TE  Sr.  - Missed most of last season due to shoulder injury. Solid contributor when he was healthy last year.

Paul Trammell        LB    Sr.  - Finished the year with 119 Tackles. Missed one and a half games due to pulled hamstring and deep thigh bruise.

Donte Raymond      TB  Jr.  - Has big shoes to fill with loss of Gene LeDay.

    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
