He sure doesn't look like 99% of other FCS receivers. It's gonna
be difficult to bring him down once he has the ball. If he gets
the waiver and is in the lineup, I would not be surprised to see
SBU make it to the national semifinals, at least. Even without
him, anything less than winning the conference and taking a game
in the playoffs would be a disappointment. Yeah yeah, I know the
ball hasn't even been snapped yet, but based on the roster and
coaching staff, that's what I expect to happen. Kudos to Priore
for being the type of guy that convinced Coxson to play for him.

I'm just excited about the quality level of the athletes we are
signing in all sports. When you look at womens softball,
lacross , mens basketball and football we are atracting some
very high level kids. Football should do very well this year
which will just put more of a spotlight on StonyBrooks
Athletics. Add to that our facilities and quality coaching
staffs we are in good shape.

Football is whats going to make stony Brook shine. Looking
forward to a great season, atleast on paper. There is one thing
that we know is true: If football goes up, everything else goes
up with it.
Hopefully this team can takes us to the FCS playoffs once again
and do some more damage. But this team can't get carried away
either, they have to play EVERY game! I would like for this team
to build a resume that would grant them an at-large berth, but
there's still a long way until september...

True! They cant get caught up in their good press clippings
before the season begins. Have to win on the field.

This can easily be a breakout season, or a heartbreak season. It
all depends how bad this team wants to get back to the playoffs.
This team needs to keep their eyes on that conference
championship and try to build a at-large resume just in case
because its painful to be in a one-bid conference. You f*ck up
in one game and you are out.
I'm excited already and there still ~six months to go...

Hopefully the NCAA grants him the waiver. I don't think he ever
technically matriculated as a student at Florida, and his father
was sick. With Gush, Norell, and Coxson at WR and Coker and
Maysonet at RB opposing teams are really going to have to pick
their poison. Our WR's will beat one on one coverage if they put
their safeties in the box and Coker and Maysonet would have a
field day if you don't. This is a high octane offense for FCS
football.

Potential is just another way of saying the guy hasn't done
anything yet.
That said, I think this offense could be very scary. The part
that nobody here has been talking about (but I know we're all
thinking) is how good our offensive line is going to be. We had
4 "2nd year guys" as starters last season, not counting Diaz
(the Pitt transfer).
If Essington can improve his decision making (which by no means
is terrible, just not awesome), and the pass defense/pass rush
improves, a run in the playoffs is very possible.
You can't take anything for granted, but I think team could be
something very special.

Speaking of the pass rush, whatever happened to the four-star
transfer from Maryland who sat out last year. He's not on the
roster anymore. Huge guy, strange name (from Africa I think). He
seemed to vanish, which I think is strange for a former
four-star player.

Bummer. How does everyone feel about us not having anyone bigger
than 250 lbs along our defensive line?
