Re: IUP Football 2019
Spring drills should be starting anytime here. What are some of the story lines that our esteemed roundtable will be following this spring?
I think the obvious headlining story should be Davis vs. Wilkerson with a shot to be the starting signal caller on the line.
I think there will be a lot of positional groups that will warrant a peek to see what is going on there.
Running backs- We found out last year they were not exactly the can't miss group everyone assumed as attrition took its toll on them. How does IUP412 practice squad MVP Duane Brown do? Does he bring his talents to full fruition? And as Number83 tells us---the frosh back could possibly emerge as a candidate for quality carries.
O-line- a bit of an off year for them. How do they re-group and reload?
D-line- should be better with a year of seasoning after all the losses from 2017.
Secondary- Should be an interesting group to monitor with a key return and a quality transfer added to the mix.
Punter- Ruiz will leave some big shoes to fill.
Coaching staff- will have to weather the storm come May when grades come out. Hopefully things go better than last year. Also a lot of heat on the OC after some suspect play-calling last year according to our roundtable.
It should make for a very exciting spring! Hopefully Tort will let us know when the scrimmages are before the spring game. Seemed like he was more transparent about such things in his first year when he had some magic happening.

Do you think any of the incoming Freshman could make an impact right away, or is it just a "get in line, work hard and wait your turn" scenario? My thoughts on a few of the kids that stood out, looking at their film:
Stone Shugarts - Recruit from GA. Legacy so the DNA is there. Look like he has room to bulk.
Darrius Lloyd - Recruit from MD. Brother is on IUP. Not sure that's the right size to play LB, but might be prototype Safety if he has the speed.
David Filippello - Recruit from Eastern PA. Looks big but still with room to add on his frame. A lot of his film was OL, and looked good. Curious that hes a DL Recruit.
Adam Houser - Recruit from Shippensburg, of all places. A good get for IUP. Small, but fast and can break the big one. Could be impact from day 1.

Probably pushes Stevens to Nickel back where he is more suited due to his speed/size and lack of hitting. Passing league better start covering peeps and getting turnovers....No on AB player regarding transfer......just sayin

Originally posted by ShoNuff View PostThey brought in 6-7 DB transfers last year, look how that panned out. How about coach up or develop the guys you recruited? I agree with BigIndians, they had (and still do) have talent in the secondary, but the only changes last season that were made were to the CBs. Hopefully they bring in some coaches that can get the secondary back on par.

Ah, thanks for that. I didn't read far enough back.
