Terence West of Towson had his pro day yesterday, apparently he ripped it up.  Hopefully Coker can be our beast this season in the backfield

How do you know this guy is any good?  He ended up fourth or fifth on the Rutgers spring depth chart.  What does that tell you?

I don't. All I know is he is a ESPN 3 start recruit. As a coach, you have to keep all options open and put your feelers out there ..

We already have plenty of qb options for next years team (six in spring ball, three more coming in for camp in August). If were looking for transfers, I hope they can bring in a big athletic inside linebacker.

 They already have a big athletic inside LB, RSF John Haggert from Sayville. Kid is special.

I'm high on Haggart too, but we only have 4 linebackers on the roster. If there is any position I'm looking to add transfers to, it is at linebacker.

I believe we have some LB's coming in this summer with the freshman class. I think Raymond Jones 6'3" 220 from Roosevelt fits what your looking for ( he can play right away ). Also remember that Jake Carlock from Babylon is another kid who could play right now at safety, and if so then you could move Ricard back to LB where he played in 2012. Don't forget about Josh Valentin 6'4" 250 out of Commack. I know in recent yrs most of the freshman were redshirted but these guys have the skill and bodies to play this year.

Sure, QB is a big question mark this year but overall this team has way more talent than last year's squad. I have no idea who is going to win this QB race but I don't imagine we'll find out until the summer- we definitely have to wait for Kinder to get on campus as I think he has to be the favorite.

I'm super excited about Josh Valentin- he's got the type of body and athleticism to be a beast. Julius Wingate from Jersey is also oozing with potential- he's got elite size and will be a big red-zone target for us.

Can't wait for the spring game and summer practices!

MD:  i beg to differ about Kinder.  if he is the "favorite" to win the QB job, then what does that say about the recruiting of the coaching staff at this position.  Pathetic, that's what I would say.  for SB to relying on a one-and-doner for 2014 would be ludicrious.  and a on top of that, Kinder comes into the program with ZERO SB background on the system, and has not played QB competitvely in four years.  in my mind that is a real stretch, and would only come about if Hernandez and Bednarski can not get it done.  Sure, a bunch of you out there would like to see the "local" kid come home and light it up, but really, is that what we want long term for SB football.  I dont think so. So i am rooting for one of the QBs that are currently on the roster to win the job and win it decisively so we dont have to go through this one-and-done nonsense for another year.

BFF. I agree with you on everything you just said. Lets just see what this kid has to offer. If he is a stud Quarterback and blows the coaching staff away and gives us a chance to win the CAA, then maybe we have no choice to use him for one season. Also, he can teach all of our other quarterbacks a thing or two..... If Kinder is no better then Hernandez, Bednarski. D' Amato or Otranto then he stands on the sidelines!!!!!

these guys could be huge for our offense right away.  and from what I saw, Coker was back saturday, and Wil Tye still looks great.

Josh Valentin TE 6-3 280 Bay Shore, N.Y./Commack Joe Reggio
 Julius Wingate WR 6-3 185 Englewood, N.J./Dwight Morrow
 Jason Wright TE 6-2 230 San Juan Capistrano, Calif./San Clemente
Cal Daniels TE 6-2 255 Bethel, Conn./Bethel Jason Gill

I just read that SBU offered Jordan Fredericks.  He's a hell of an athlete, and it could be very entertaining in the future to see him and his brother Tyler running out of the same backfield.  This, of course, raises a question:  since Coker, Kenner and Bedell are all ahead of Tyler  in the depth chart, do you think it would be wise to redshirt him this coming season?  He was supposed to redshirt last year, but the team's numerous injuries pressed him into service.  If that were to happen it would certainly set up a nice opportunityu for a Fredericks-Fredericks backfield in the future--if (a big if) Jordan turns down other bigger program offers he's certain to get.

Agreed. I really like the tight ends in this years recruiting class.
