Masengo Kabongo is who you're thinking of. RUMOR is that he's
going to miss the season with an injury and may come back for
2013, although it's unlikely.
I don't mind the smaller D-Line, based on our "philosophy". If
we run the ball and control the clock, the quicker d-line can
attack and not get worn down. The concern obviously comes from
being unable to keep our defense off the field.
Against Gardner-Webb or CSU, this won't be a problem. Against a
team like Syracuse...

That is troubling that no DL's or DE's are over 250. I didn't
realize that. Out of curiosity I checked Liberty's roster. They
have eight or nine DL/DE's over 250. Not sure what's up with
that.

I looked at our two deep depth chart from last season. We were
not overwhelming in size last year either and held our own. I
counted 3 guys at over 250 and not by much. So I think we will
be ok this season. I would like to see a couple 290 to 310 type
guys as would everyone else. But I think we have speed and a
good linebacker corps.

Also missing on the spring roster is Leston Simpson the DL
transfer from Minnesota. I supect we have. a few schollies
remaining that may show up quite soon.I think someone mentioned

Saw a couple of Boosters, Pikiell and his family, and a nice
scrimmage yesterday at LaValle. The sun was killing me so I only
stayed there for 10-15 minutes. Simpson is not here yet, Marcus
Coker is and Adrian Coxon were there I Believe (#1 and #34)
It was the first scrimmage I ever attended. Pretty cool!

If Simpson plays, and plays at a Big Ten-level, then I'll be
less concerned about the small size of the rest of the D line.

Hear me out for a second-
There's been a change in the game the past 15 years or so,
moving away from the 34s and the huge 350lbs nose guards. Now
its more quick, agile DEs and DTs that press the QB. More 52s
and nickel 41s. More of the standup DE type. More of the
hybrid OLB that steps up to the line to show blitz, and it
starts to cloud the distinction between DL and LB. Think of the
NY Football Giants, perfect example.
Plus, its college football, 1AA at that, so 300lbs aint a great
benchmark. And look the Big South just doesnt get the size that
you can recruit to a place like Richmond, JMU, Massachusetts,
etc. Other 1AA conferences.
And lastly, whatever we are doing with our apparently undersized
d-tackles, its working.
I'll be watching and rooting. GO SB ;D

Have to agree with the Chairman. We were not oversized last year
either with only two starters on D over 250 lbs and we did
pretty well. If Simpson has speed and I guess he may he could
be devasting at 250-255. I remember the Liberty game last year.
Their huge nose tackle was gassed by the 4th quarter and became
a non factor on any pass rush and he goes well over 300lbs. .
Add to that our offense that can put up tons of points even if
we give up a TD or so we can just about outscore anyone.

Chair. It seems like you are right. Here it goes:
"...Stony Brook football coach Chuck Priore announced Wednesday
that cornerback Avery Graham has transferred to the program from
the University of Maryland..."
