thanks in advance for information!
Shortfields -
Vann hurt his knee as we thought and will be out a while. Others, Maples, Kearse, Shifflett, may play. Coach said if you re going to play Saturday you need to practice Tuesday and Wednesday which is contact. Of course if anyone is coming off injury they will limit them.

I love listening to Coach. CCH is a breath of fresh air - he talks straight, has some humor, and is passionate.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 1:58 amVann hurt his knee as we thought and will be out a while.

CCH said a bunch of interesting things. I'm going to post some in the ETSU thread. One thing of interest is he talked about playmakers and getting more playmakers at Furman. This is related to Corey Watkins and how fast he is. The question came up about who's fastest, CCH was careful - knew the players we're listening. He then said based on what I've seen Watkins, Blackshear, maybe Trapp. He then mentioned Anderson - based on drills he's up there - related to Watkins. CCH stated again your not going to catch Watkins in the open field.

This - Love him for this. I HATE coach speak where you get no information. I am not asking for the gameplan. Just some thoughts on who did well, where we could improve etc - CH flat-out said "the OL should have done better" after the VT game. Only if people will note areas for improvement can you believe them when they say an area or guy did well ! Once CH said that about our OL at VT, it made it mean that much more when he commended the OL this week after Mercer ! Great job this week OL
Interesting he talked about getting more playmakers - I asked once here who were our fastest 5 guys (that way not singling any one out)

Did he mention Weems or Austin Jones in any way? This is ok to ask since he mentioned Maples etc.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 1:58 amVann hurt his knee as we thought and will be out a while.

He mentioned Jones in his presser yesterday. Wants to play him but he continues to have lingering physical issues. Thought he might play this week.gofurman wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 8:09 amDid he mention Weems or Austin Jones in any way?

Thanks - CH seems pretty open with this stuff which i LOVE. Not just injuries, I mean who played well and what we need to do better to be elite. Like when he started this year by saying numerous times "we now have the depth to do what we wanted to do before but honestly couldn't". He didn't just say "we are better" - he said specifically why we are better this year.Jasper wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 8:15 amHe mentioned Jones in his presser yesterday.

Want to say I ask some of these things because i CARE. IE, I hate we haven't seen Weems as he selflessly came back for his R-Sr year to help us. Hope he gets to play sometime as it's (captain obvious but worth stating) different for a freshman who has years left to play
