Another new Spartan... Brandon Bryant Rockville (MD) OL/LB 6'1 205 [although Lemming's site lists him at 6'2 225 and a 4.7 40] All-State HM OL

Not the most exciting highlight film I've seen, but there've been a a couple of pretty good Brandons in the Circle in the last few years (McDowell and Jeffries).

Nice play at about the 5 min mark where he is blocked at the LOS gets up and stops the runner for little or no.

WUStL got a kicker from Shaker who was on my watch list for CWRU and CMU a WR from Mentor

[blue4now]

Saw the kicker last year.  Not overly bummed about missing out on him.  He was pretty much all Shaker had.

Rowe will be a nice fit for CMU.  He's an outside guy similar to Kolesar but not as polished or consistant as yet.  Their 2 outside guys are departing so he will get his chance. 

He would have considered CWRU but they no longer offer his area of study.  Too bad.

Three more new Spartans:

Will the Shaker K be missed?

Jake LaFleur  Columbus St Charles  6'1 185  RB/DB All District DB

Third year in  a row a Cardinal is heading to CWRU

Steve Doyle  Elmira NY  Notre Dame  6'4 260 OL  All Division

I have found nine published commitments four from Ohio and five from five different states.  So far only one from NEO and none from WPA.

Interstingly almost every story in the local paper mentions the three straight undefeated regular seaasons.

[Raider 68]

Looks like JCU will play a ranked CWRU team in the opener. How about an early ranking after losing Whalen!

[blue4now]

Raider, that would be great however it was tough enough to get the love with Whalen I dont see it without.  Maybe after beating an improving JCU team...

This first game will IMHO set the tone for the year for both teams! The one who wins will have a decent year, the other who knows.

I doubt Case will be ranked in our poll.

[ADL70]

#24 TSN  I suspect maybe top40 in USAToday and d3.comKickoff.

CWRU gets gift to finish the new athletic facilities.

[Pat Coleman]

Yes, the fact that it's from such a robust Division III-knowledgeable publication such as The Sporting News, and the fact that it won't issue another ranking all season, won't keep SIDs from using it and thereby lending it some unwarranted legitimacy.

Anyone carrying on for the Don Hansen (sp) Site?

JCU will have the advantage of the trip they just completed to play a European team.

That could be true, but I think it is like more of a spring game which does not indicate fall success!

Congrats Brandon!!!

Although it does include 10 full-pad practices in the spring, which not many D-III programs have.
