kid's gotta nice arm and can run the option, and he can take a hit which is good considering our O-line

Anyone have a link to an article with the outcome of the game? Would be great to see how he did against a top D-Lineman.

I remember when I went to G-Town one of my teammates had a brother who was getting recruited by G-Town and wanted to come here. Our O-Line coach said he was too small. So he went to Dartmouth, was a 4 year starter and the lone captain his senior year.

If it makes you feel better, it seems our coaching staff has done everything within its power to not let another too-small lineman escape for another school. Check out the heights/weights on this past year's frosh OL and I think you'll have to agree.

Rivals has 2 star safety rick rattay as a commit as of 12/19/07.. I'm certainly happy when Georgetown adds any quality player, but they are loaded at safety and the other positions behind the line. They need linemen. They have been routinely getting pushed around up front which is why the safetys were making so many tackles (until the last game). Sure,every good player helps, but nothing matters when you are overwhelmed at the line of scrimmage. I hope that is addressed as a priority.

A verbal from a QB from Beloit, WI. Write down the name, David King. So far, he's the leading contender to start against "TBA" in next season's opener.

Regarding LBPop's comment, I'm shocked by the current freshman who have recently quit the team. These were kids that the coach's gave significant playing time to--some over seniors. I'm not sure what this says regarding the types of kids the coachs are recruiting but it certainly does not bode well for the future.

Wow...ain't that a kick in the teeth. Deserving seniors final season ruined and the "not ready for prime timers" that played are jumping the sinking ship. I was expecting alot of attrition, but thought it would be the sophs and juniors that also got screwed last season. Wonder what impact those 6AM practices are having on retention and recruitment. Will also be interesting to see what impact that schedule had on Hoya qualifiers to the PL All Academic team. We've averaged >20 players past four years...I know one 3 timer that is on bubble to make it 4 for 4. The schedule did him no favors academically, for sure! Hard to concentrate when your tired and hungry.

there have been quite a few from the soph and fresh classes - kelly's bread and butter classes.
attrition is fairly typical with any non scholarship program, but i believe the numbers here are a lil larger than normal. not surprised....
