Spring drills should be close, if not already started. What can we expect from the Raiders in terms of who stands out and who doesn't?

"There is a young quarterback developing at Mount Union right now whose name you haven't heard:  but you will!" - LK, speaking at Education on the Run.

My uneducated guess: Roman Namdar

pradierguy,

I have heard that name a few times, and who knows what the fall will be like with two returning seniors and a junior in the mix at QB.

Interesting....so the kid who got playing time last year, and will be a sophomore is NOT in the mix?  Wow Raider 68.....you are definitely in the know.

I've heard that Nadar and Burke are both in the mix.

Did LK find a diamond in the rough with a QB from TX who played WR in high school? or is it just the state of the current QB's at Mount?

Namdar was a QB his Jr. year.  Some "stud" (Daxx Garman - originally went to Arizona, now transferring to Oklahoma State) transferred in from Oklahoma his Sr. year so Namdar moved to WR.

You can watch him throwing the ball on Mount's JV level here...

The "Factory of Sadness" Browns fan/comedian is back with another hilarious video. This time Mount Union gets what some would call a shout out. http://youtu.be/wGfLFmlU8zo

As a life long Browns fan....located 5 hours away in Michigan, who purchased a dish for the sole purpose of being able to watch Browns football....that video is some funny sh$t...I don't care who you are.

I know about the transfer QB, I'm just really not sure that Namdar was ever a QB on the varsity level.  Nothing against the kid, but check out his "highlight" video and there are a lot of empty bleachers for one of TX and the Nations top programs.  Not saying he won't end up a good QB at MUC, but I'm thinking his only snaps as a varsity QB have been in mop up duty and one QB draw in the Stagg Bowl.

Agree, one article I read said he was the JV QB as a Junior in HS.  There also have been some D1 come out of that system recently:

Greg McElroy - Alabama
David Piland - Houston
Kyle Padron - SMU
Riley Dodge - North Texas
Chase Daniel - Missouri

So maybe some of that QB magic wore off on Roman.

Texas ball can be quite different.  I have a former player that moved from here in AZ to Katy HS in TX.  He's considered one of their stud linemen and he still played below varsity as a junior, getting to dress in some varsity contests.  They don't just have JV level there.  Often big TX high schools have multiple freshmen teams, multiple JV teams and a Junior team as well as the varsity.  It's insane.
