Dinner with the Dins

[Jasper]

Just heard from Coach Clay that there was a great response to the "feed the Dins" fan program for next week and so the dinner is a go. I have done this in the past and it is a fun experience. All who signed up will be getting info from Reese Hannon later in the week.

We asked for 4. Looking forward to it.

Interesting takes from dinner last night with 6 Paladins.
-qb starter is up in the air. Both have good skills to lead the team
-CCH spends a lot of time with the OL, which is good
-Corey Watkins is super strong, one of the strongest on the team
-Coach Quarles ad libs a lot in play calling, adapts well to game situations
-Kealand Dirks reported in at 270, has lost a few since
-Wofford is the rival

Overall, very impressive young men. Glad we have them at Furman

I believe last season Quarles was in the booth. As the OC, I wonder if he'll hang out up there again.

As I noted on the other thread, Furman can use the same personnel to run just about any plays they want to. Seems a perfect set up for a guy who is willing to look at the defense and not live on a scripted play sheet. Watch what the other team is doing to you and then adapt.

I know these guys spent a lot of time in the weight room this off-season, but this sounds more like hitting the burgers and shakes a little too hard. Is Kealand's 'ideal' weight about 250?

Kealand had a lingering hamstring issue left over from spring practice and was unable to run for much of the summer. He also hit the weight room hard. He has lost 5 lbs. in the first week of practice already. I expect he will play at about 255 now that he is running again. He is a VERY big man but looks to be in great shape.
