The Bone Yard

See what a little Hope can do for a program?! Need to thank Danny and purdue for this one.

That is also the reason this is bigger get than Sandland to me, a real momentum boost for us, something Sandland won't provide if he waits until signing day. Wins and big time commits, that how snow balls are formed!

Don't even think I will dream about that tonight.

3 years to play is huge. If he pans out thats one side of the line that you dont have to worry about

I totally agree with Gregory over Lacouture... and getting him 3 years makes up for it too seeing as Lacouture probably would be contributing until the final three years of his career anyway. Here's some Gregory highlights... kid is F-A-S-T off the edge and gets skinny in the middle before exploding to the quarterback. He can rush out of the 3 point and 2 point stance and he has really good hips for a guy his size (meaning he could get back in coverage if needed). He pursues plays to the edge and is a SURE tackler. I like him and am very excited to see what he brings to the table next season.

That being said, I'm still going to say push with Sandland. TEs bring so much more to the table than just catching balls. Kyler Reed opens things up for our receivers, Ben Cotton does a great job of seal blocking on run plays and both are great targets in the red zone (though we don't use them enough). I think you'll see a difference in the offense next year without them, but I do understand your point about our receivers and backs picking up slack. Our skill positions are so dang talented adding another weapon like Sandland would make our offense impossible to stop. So i'll still say "push."
