No major complaints here with the first team. Anyone have any updates such as a player not returning or anything like that?

[jmufan999]

we've got 2 first team o-linemen, yet people are saying that's where we'll struggle. i've said it before and i'll say it again: we ALWAYS have a good o-line. it's the defense that will be a question mark, specifically the pass rush. but i have no problems with anyone on this list.

[WMTribe90]

I think all the WM selections are appropriate. Mike Stover might raise some eyebrows, but he played at an all-conference level in the playoffs to end last year.

JMUFan999, I can't say one way or the other whether JMU's OL will be good, but having two guys on the first team means little when accessing the entire line. Five guys play on the line and if the other three are below average or there is no depth, which will inevitably come into play, than JMU still could have a problem.

I LOVE the Stover pick. He is a good one.xnodx

Stover is a former walk-on, blue collar, throw-back kind of player. I think he and Jean-Pierre have break-out years on the DL.
