What player from your conference would you like on your roster?

[Milktruck74]

Since it is Mid Summer and the lowest darkest point of football is here (just before the dawn of football), I thought I'd ask a stupid question (to get a stupid response) and see what player in your respective conference you would like to add to your roster. Who is that one guy that would take your team up a level? Fit your system? has a great name? Whatever the reason.....just tell us who and why? I figure this will also help us see what is going on outside of our respective conferences.

As a Mocs Fan, I would add SAM Walker, TE from Mercer to our roster. HE is probably not the obvious choice from the SoCon, but I think he fill a serious gap in the Mocs game. We haven't had a go to TE in several years and Sam is that. HE is good for 3 or 4 catches a game for about 8-10 yards each, he helps move the chains in that critical 3rd and 8 area, he has sure hands and he can block. If he were on our roster, would add that element that requires Defenses to cover that area beyond the box and before the deep ball.....the 6-12 yard box. This would soften up the run AND the deeper coverage....and not going 3 and out on every other series would actually help the Defense get a blow. So, he is not the flashy guy that everybody wants, Ithink he would be one of the biggest helps to our game....Now, we just need tofind someone on our current roster that can do what he does!!!

Good question for this lag time, IMO. As a Samford Fan, I have 2 in mind, and can't decide, so I'll list both. Andre Stoddard of Wofford or Kealand Dirks of Furman. Either might give us a short-yardage power running game that I think we badly need.

I will say Junior Khalen Saunders, defensive tackle, from Western Illinois.

With Nate Tanguay graduating it would be nice to have an absolute stud defensive tackle anchoring the middle.

Fun question...

Answering for either/both Mercer and Furman...so I get to pick 2 :)

Offense - Kelvin McKnight from Samford, please
Defense - Miles Brown from Wofford, thank you

If you force me to choose just 1 of those, give me the little man what scores dem pints!! (McKnight)

[caribbeanhen]

For Delaware, give me #10 JMU WR Riley Stapleton

Furman and Mercer are two very different teams....would you pick McKnight for both?

[LU808]

Lehigh RB Dom Bragalone anyone?

Yep. He’s pretty good.

Great question? For EWU I would apprciate it if we could get Mr. Keelan Doss, Wide Receiver from UC Davis to play in Cheney this year. An experienced, explosive receiver would be a welcome addition to a still you receiving corp.

[jmu007]

For Delaware, give me #10 JMU WR Riley Stapleton

To bring this trade full circle, I'll select Delaware LB, #9, Troy Reeder

[AmsterBison]

I'd take Taryn Christion from SDSU.

First, he'd be a good backup for Easton Stick.
Second, SDSU becomes that much weaker.

Plus, how many 300+ lb D-Linemen have you seen that can do backflips?

As for me...I want Cox!....er....um....that came out wrong.
Alternately, Tanner Volson would also be nice, we could use some help on the O-line this year.

Saunders really stood out to me last year and how he ran everything down from sideline to sideline and was really a dominant force in that game. He is a STUD!

For Lehigh - I'll take NDSU's entire 2nd string Defensive unit

[BisonTru]

Christian Rozeboom, LB SDSU.

I just like his name.

Troy Anderson

Yes but play him at freaking Linebacker like he should always be at....not dick him around at RB, LB and QB like lil brother wants to try.

[POD Knows]

For NDSU, a punter, we seem to be pretty weak at that position, the guy we got coming back had 3 punts last year for an average of about 32 yards per punt. Could be pretty scary although if every thing goes to plan, maybe he won't see the field this year. xdrunkyx

Along the same line for uni.

I don’t know who the best kicker is in the MVFC, but him. Our special teams - specifically FG, PAT and kickoffs - at least 5 games the last 2 or 3 seasons.

If Vinatieri is still at SDSU, I'd say he is the best in the league. I thought he was a solid PKer for them last year as well as Hale for their Punter. If they are still there, they probably have the best combo right now in the league.

They're both still here. Hale is a Senior and Chase "the LEGacy" Vinatieri is a Junior. I agree, they're the top combo in the MVFC, not sure about all of FCS.

I'd just take a punter who can flip a field and coffin corner the hell out of the ball. So, does anyone mind if LeCompte comes back to NDSU and puts on the green and gold again? It would just temporary until the situation becomes rectified? xnodx

Sam Crosa at WIU was a perfect 10/10 for FGs last year with a long of 45.
Vinatieri went 13/14 with a long of 55, so obviously very good there too.
UNI's Sam Drysdale was also decent at 14/21, scoring 1.4 FGs per game.

All three are juniors this coming season.

But I think Vinatieri has the leg and that can make or break a game when one is sitting at 4th and 3 at the 30-35yd line. Knowing you can go to your kicker instead of trying to convert it or having to consider punting it, is yuge.

UNIs FG game is horrendous. If he’s near the top we all need to invest serious money into kickers in this conference.

UND will be starting a freshman at kicker, punter and long snapper. At least one of them a true freshman.

So we got that going for us.

Maybe we already have...the best kickers statistically last season were sophomores.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYea, I couldn't a specific player from any of the rosters, I am just hoping we don't have to punt all year. Maybe on third down we will just throw Hail Mary's and hope for a pick.

If one of the 3 best kickers in the conference misses over 1/3 of their FGs it’s time to stop kicking them.

Side note - I’m a massive advocate for almost never punting or kicking FGs.

I don't disagree. I was just pointing out that they were all still pretty young.

[Catbooster]

Probably any one of a number of the QB's. Hopefully, after we know who ours is and he's played a couple games I'll change my opinion. QB is a total unknown for us right now.

Easy for me in the Patrout League — Dom Bragalone from Lehigh.

[DeltaDevil662]

De’Arius Christmas from Grambling. Pair him with our 1st Teamer Patrick Harbin and that's one of the best LB cores in the country

It's tough knowing he was voted 2nd Team All-American. He can straight up ball.

Joe Flacco might be in need of a job soon. He have an eligibility left.
