National Signing Day

[danefan]

I still can't believe we got Romain. The kid's films are unbelievable.

 

I read into things too much, but I was surprised to hear Coach Ford refer to Drew Smith as "our Quarterback"

[danefan]

Andrew Smith (DE) from long island is a beast man. Wow.

Totally agree. This kid looks like he can be special. The burst of speed he has when he gets into open field. He has some really great moves. I see McCarty in him. If the kid gets bulked up, he could be a beast!

 

One thing that may have been overlooked. I think Ford brought in talent to create a solid special teams play. Include Romain, I see three-four kick returners. Our special teams has been critical for the offense the past few years. With Gannon and Kinsey (Am I correct he is graduated?) both gone, we need to make sure this vital area is not lost.

Brandon Baylor from Maryland seems to be a perfect fit returning punts. He also looks like a really solid DB.

Superior coverage this year....I remember the years where we didn't even get a press release out with the names....lol

We should all either facebook or email the SID's dept. and thank them. Positive reinforcement always leads to the additional willingness to do the work.

Love the videos of Ford and all of the highlights.

Our football program is heading in the right direction.

Looks like a very solid recruiting class, and I'm happy about it!

 

Thanks for the input gentlemen!

Meanwhile no coverage at all in the T-U, Record, Channel 6 and 10 (though 10 has a story about Buffalo's recruits), Wyland and Fox only mentioned local Zach Morton (Fox says Morton will have a signing ceremony on Friday)

TU coverage....

 

Zach Morton of Burnt Hills was among 16 new recruits announced by University at Albany football coach Bob Ford on Wednesday. The defensive end was selected to the NYSSWA Class A All-State Second Team in 2009

Not surprising at all. The TU is terrible. Singleas said on his blog that he was in Binghamton and couldn't cover the Signing Day.

Hey...DF...how about we tell our bosses we can only work one case...because we are "satelite" for the day.

 

Mark is a chump.

[Dane96]

BTW...check your email when you get a chance.

I also want to commend the athletic department on the release and video links. They were really great. Now, let's get an announcement, that we've all been "patiently" waiting for.

We are into February now....are we getting any closer to the announcement?

[Dane96]

And yes...for the ripping I have done with the ADEPT over the years (rightly so in many of our opinions)...they have WOWED me this time. VERY GOOD JOB GUYS!
