Younger bro Fromm is ironically getting into the same situation as Fields did at Ga
Nah...he can redshirt next year (2019), be understudy for Riddle/Riley in ‘20, and start for 3 years, from ‘21-‘23, when Riley graduates and Riddle leaves early for the NFL after the 2020 season.

Yep, Furman offered Annoor late because it couldn’t offer until
late, or after Colgate and Lehigh offered, and that finally made it okay for the FU gatekeepers, it seems.

My son had an interesting notion that maybe it was a partial offer. Have no idea but I see evidence that Furman is doing some of that, offering high test score guys and a class likely in excess of available scholarships. Let me add if so it's a good strategy due to the youth of not just the team, but of the two-deep. Get a guy in, get him in the weight room, coach him up and he earns a full his soph or junior year.

From what I can tell there are 4 key decisions I'm very curious to see tomorrow

RB Wayne Anderson - looks like a perfect fit for our offense
OLB Josh Agbenou - do we hold off late push by Colo St?
OLB - Micheal Mason - a late offer by FU can we beat out Woff, Cit, Tulane?
DB - Daveion Carrington - we will have a Fr get alot of reps at S next year....will it be Carrington or someone else?
The Mason offer is interesting to me. Is it an alternative to Agbenou or would they take both? Just in my head I had Abenou down as an inside backer due to his size, but his profile indicates he's a DE/OLB same as Mason so either or both could be in answer to Chris Washington deciding to graduate. Tomorrow's going to be interesting for sure.

Another name to keep an eye on is Keyvaun Cobb DB out of Asheville. Outstanding student and athelete.

This offer makes more sense now that I see Cam Burnette is no longer on the roster.

Yes, he’s gone. Wants more passes to catch.

Also saw we offered an “under the radar” OL/DL from Fla 6-4/285 Dan Dodd from Keystone Heights Fla. We are first D1 offer. Named Cook County “Super 11” and is apparently a big strong tough OL.

No surprise and I don't blame him. I love our offense and it clearly works, but only getting T Gordon 29 catches and Cam 20 is not ideal. Believe you can run first while still getting more passes completed ... our Furman O back in the early 2000s when Reinhart, Bratton, West, etc. were catching anywhere from 40-60 balls apiece is a prime example. A team-leading 29 is the worst for a Paladin since 2000 and before that 1989. Between 2002 and 2010 here are the leading totals: 70, 45, 60, 46, 46, 59, 58, 74, 55.

We definitely need to throw the ball more. The attempts would probably be up significant if HR had played all 11 games.

Doubt we’ll miss a beat with Deluca. Probably be better IMO.

Hope you are right but you are implying the coaches were starting the Wrong guy... Because they played Burnette more than Deluca meaning they thought a little more of Burnette
