Fall Camp has started!

Yesterday the Cowboys hit the field and the countdown to the opening game versus Southern Utah is on! Even though there weren't any pads the workouts were still intense.

DC says the depth and competition will be at a much higher level this year at every position.

The incoming freshman are now on campus and ready to show off their stuff.

A few names to keep your eye on over the next month:

• RB Nehemie Kankolongo who practiced with the first team after Alvester Alexander suffered a knee injury back in the spring. Kankolongo practiced with the first team this spring after enrolling early. Should be a great battle at halfback.
• A couple recruits didn't make the grades during their senior year and weren't academically eligible to play this season. RB Evan Williams out of Minnesota and JUCO DB Austin Daniels won't be on the roster this year. I had high hopes for Williams who has a pretty impressive highlight video and also played QB.
• LB Oliver Schrober had a pick already and is an impressive physical speciman. It will be hard to keep off the field this Fall.
• ATH Darrenn White practiced with the DB's. White played QB in HS but could also see time at RB if needed.
• WR Mazi Obgonna brings a nice burst of speed and will help open the field up for ACS.

I'll keep you posted on any other news that pops up as the camp progresses. And when the new site is ready to launch you can expect much more news and activity. I'm sure you'll be very impressed with the new digs.

National Signing Day Eve

The commits were all snug in their beds while dreams of Laramie danced in their heads...

Was tempted to throw out some poetry here but that is not my strong suit. We're just a few hours from the official signing of one of the best classes in recent memory. Coaches aren't allowed to officially comment on athletes before they commit so it will be great to finally get some insight from Coach Christensen and his staff.

With so many impact players from the 2009 class how will the 2010 class stack up? This is certaintly a larger class and the staff had the luxury of time when putting it together. Last year there were only a few weeks to assemble to recruits.

The running back situation will be very intersting to watch in the Fall. Alvester Alexander came on strong towards the end of last year. Nehemie Kankolongo is the Pokes top rated recruit this year and has already enrolled at UW this winter. Evan Williams just committed a couple weeks ago but his highlight video is impressing everyone that catches a glimpse.

We'll have a lot more thoughts and analysis tommorow after the class is officially announced.
