I do know some about the kid, but not enough on the football field...just curious what you guys thought??

Welcome to the boards, D3scout.  I posted this after the game last weekend.

Thanks for the report, roocru.

I watched the videostream last night and I saw last year's game.  I think that both teams are stronger than last year.

Coach Gage is in his fourth season at the helm.  That means he has had ample time to recruit into his system.

I can easily see AC finishing as strong as 6-3.

The McMurry radio announcers were very complimentary of the running of all of the AC backs.

Hasten is a very good back for the AC system.  The good thing about AC is that Coach Gage has implemented a sustainable program for that school, ( as we see at Millsaps, and UMHB and HSU and TU and Rhodes, etc.)  I foresee AC being a very competitive program for a long time with Coach Gage at the helm.

Thanks for the reply Ralph!  I recently talked to Coach Gage he seems very excited with where the program is now.  Hes now had a few years to get some players in there that suit there offense.

And I will say that they are def getting better quality athletes in Sherman than they were before Gage was there.  Perhaps because of his north Texas HS football ties?

After watching the game with McM, looks like this might be the year they compete for a SCAC title with guys like Hasten and the Air Force transfer Braly at QB.  You're completely right, they fit that system perfect...

HUGE test against MC on Sat

I do know some about the kid, but not enough on the football field...just curious what you guys thought??

Hey Guys yall have a great board here at d3!!  Been following it for a few years as I scout southwest region small schools (d2 and d3) for several media publications and pro teams.

Every once in a while I will get a video of a kid on my desk I dont know much about.   So I figured someone might be able to tell me something about Ross Hasten #5 RB from Austin College...

I saw a vid of a run he made at McMurry you don't normally see from a d3 kid.  He was completely stuffed on the right side from about 7 yards out and magically changed directions to go to the opposite pylon for the td....it was impressive to say the least.

Hes not very tall but damn hes fast and has good instincts it seems.  Almost looks like a Wes Welker playing running back.  I have learned Coach Gage at AC does not pass much.

I saw his stats for the game, 153 yds. and 2 tds.  I know hes been around for awhile...you guys have any insight?? 

Ralph...would did you think about him at the McM game?  Years past?

Thanks Guys!!
