Not a full-fledged Bank this week because most of this stuff has been publicly discussed, but here is the latest from sources very close to the situation:
- Mark Fletcher remains a serious flip candidate and it could come earlier in the season. The team envisions a Thunder and Lightning backfield with Chris Johnson, Jr., who is leaning strongly to Miami.
- We are a serious player for WR Tyler Williams. The competition is stiff and his visit will be critical, but the smoke is real.
- The keys to the season according to the inside view is staying healthy and making plays at WR. The hope is that success in the games will snowball into more consistency than we've seen at practice. Keyshawn Smith and Xavier Restrepo are taking charge at the position and Brashard Smith showed a lot of flashes late in camp. Restrepo, Tyrique Stevenson and Malik Curtis will battle at returner. A lot of people are eager to see what Curtis can do there, but experience gives the other two an edge initially.
- Corey Flagg has remade his body and made new fans on the staff. He is the leader of the group. His improved physical condition has unlocked more speed, which he needs for his game.
- The TEs are at full strength and will be a focal point of the offense. This is something we haven't seen all the way in scrimmages due to injury precautions, so the BCC game will be our first real look at the Gattis attack.
- Our offensive line has seven starter quality players- Zion Nelson, Jalen Rivers, Jakai Clark, Justice Oluwaseun, DJ Scaife, John Campbell and Logan Sagapolu. But there is an 8th name getting better every practice and pushing to get on the field already- true freshman Anez Cooper. We may have a steal there.
