I think all around our recruiting will be better. Not that we
have done bad but now we are seeing several players in the
NFL and more to come down the road. Parents and their kids
will take notice .

Cleveland Browns: 5 Under-the-Radar Players to Watch in Training
Camp
Because he played at Stony Brook during his college career, many
people probably aren't familiar with Miguel Maysonet. But how
many people had heard of Florida Atlantic's Alfred Morris prior
to him breaking out with the Washington Redskins?
Last season, Maysonet ran for just short of 2,000 yards on the
ground with an impressive 7.4 yards-per-carry average. He has
plenty of tools to succeed at the next level.
Despite being just 5'9", Maysonet is a powerful runner who has
great vision between the tackles. He displays very good speed
and is proficient at breaking tackles.
The Browns threw 80 of their 328 pass completions in 2012 to
running backs, so Maysonet will have to show he can catch the
ball out of the backfield in order to move up the depth chart.
He will be behind no less than five running backs when camp
opens.
If nothing else, Maysonet may have some value as a kick
returner. At Stony Brook, he averaged 23 yards on 18 career
returns. With Josh Cribbs gone, a good returner is needed for
the Browns.

Do you think CAA commish Yeager is a little concerned about good
schools leaving the FCS to go to the FBS !!!!!

Georgia State actually stunk last year, so I take exception with
this claim below. i think SB is a worthy addition to the CAA.
and look at the example of U. Mass. they totally cratered in
the FBS this past year.
Now, one can certainly accuse Yeager of being a cranky old guy
clinging to relevancy. His conference lost a good deal of its
mojo, with the recent departures of VCU, ODU, George Mason and
Georgia State. As much as you might like the College of
Charleston and Elon, or new football members Stony Brook and
Albany, they don’t provide equal value.

considering the fact that VCU and George Mason dont have
football teams, and Georgia State's football team stinks, the
only big loss to the CAA was ODU, from a football perspective
that is.

News on Maysonet:
BEREA, Ohio -- It is a few minutes after practice, and Miguel
Maysonet sits on a bench overlooking the sprawling practice
field at the Browns' training complex, talking hopefully about
calling this place home for his NFL career.
The former Stony Brook star knows it won't be easy, not with a
glut of running backs in training camp, not with blue-chip
tailback Trent Richardson atop the depth chart. But Maysonet has
come this far after a terrific career with the Seawolves, so the
dream lives on for Riverhead's favorite son.
"I'm a guy from Stony Brook, and some people look down on it
because of the competition we played," Maysonet said. "But I'm
here for a reason, because they saw something in me. So I'm
excited to show them what I can do."
Maysonet's fledgling NFL career already has taken some unusual
turns, and it remains to be seen whether he'll be with the
Browns once training camp ends. Maysonet had hoped to be drafted
in the mid-to-lower rounds, but he was not selected. The Eagles
signed Maysonet to a rookie free-agent deal, but even those
plans fizzled early. Philly released Maysonet a few days after a
rookie mini-camp, preferring to go with veteran free agent Felix
Jones, the former Cowboy.
"I was out with my buddies playing golf, and I was going to
report the very next week," Maysonet said. "[The Eagles] called
me and said they signed another running back and that they were
going to release me."
Confused? Yes.
Disappointed? Absolutely.
But Maysonet now sees the move as a blessing, because he thinks
Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner's system fits him much
better than Eagles coach Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense.
"I like the offense here a lot better than what Philly ran," he
said. "It's good for a running back . . . real good. We do a lot
of 'downhill' stuff and run out of the I formation with a
fullback, not east-west stuff like in Philly. There's a lot of
power runs, and the backs get out on some [pass] routes. I'm
excited about that."
Now it's a matter of getting some chances, which are few and far
between for the moment. Buried on the depth chart, he gets few
practice reps because of all the running backs ahead of him.
Besides, everyone knows Richardson, the second-year tailback out
of Alabama, is the focal point of the offense. For now,
Maysonet's proving ground is individual drills.
"It's different, coming from getting all the reps back in
college to here, where you start off at the bottom," said
Maysonet, who rushed for 1,964 yards and 21 touchdowns last
season, one of the most prolific seasons ever in the Football
Championship Subdivision (FCS) and a performance that attracted
plenty of attention from NFL scouts. "You just have to keep
working, stay positive with the whole situation of not getting
reps. It's good. With all the guys ahead of me, I have to bide
my time and be prepared when the chance does come."
But Maysonet has the unique opportunity to watch and learn from
one of the NFL's most gifted backs. Richardson, the third
overall pick in the 2012 draft, rushed for 950 yards and 11 TDs
as a rookie and is aiming for a breakout season this year.
"Being around Trent is amazing," Maysonet said. "I go from
playing college ball and watching him in the NFL to actually
being next to him as a running back. I've learned a lot of
things from him. For Trent's size, he has exceptional speed, and
he makes some cuts that make you say 'Wow.' "
Maysonet knows he's not in the same class as Richardson, but he
does believe he deserves to be at this level, despite the
meteoric leap in competition from his days at Stony Brook. He
saw just how different things are at this level the first day he
walked onto the practice field. And that was even before
practice started.
"I've never experienced walking out on the practice field and
seeing 3,000 people just sitting there ready to watch you," he
said. "When I was at Stony Brook, we'd have maybe two people in
the stands . . . if that. So when I saw all the fans just
hanging out, it was mind-blowing. But it was a great feeling to
be able to experience that."
Now he's ready to experience what it's like to walk onto the
field in front of nearly 70,000 people. If he can make it to
game day in September, Maysonet's dream comes true.

Looks like the top two RB's on the Browns Depth Chrat will sit
out the pre-season opener. Hopefully more carries for
Maysonet.....

Richardson may skip preseason opener
Posted by Mike Florio on August 5, 2013, 9:34 PM EDT
AP-Browns running back Trent Richardson has said he plans to
play in all four preseason games this year. He’s about to be
zero for one.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the
signs are pointing to Richardson resting a shin injury that
caused him to recently miss some practice time. He returned
Monday on a limited basis. Running back Montario Hardesty also
is expected to miss the preseason opener on Thursday night
against the Rams, due to a hamstring injury. Injuries caused
Richardson to miss all four preseason games in 2012. He vowed
to play in all four of them this year. The Browns will settle
for Richardson playing effectively in all 16 regular-season
games.

Miguel rushed 9 times for 25 yards in his NFL debut for the
Brown tonight in a win over the Rams. He had the second most
carries for the Browns.
