Answers (cont.), Part XIII

Hey, everyone. Two more sets of answers today, beginning with this one. Here is set Lucky 13:

Do you see UCLA offering Cameron Roberson at RB position? Do they have a decent shot at Malcom Jones or Jordan James?
I don't know if they offer Roberson. He probably will have to have a big senior season for that to happen. I don't think Jones winds up at UCLA, but I could see James going there.

Why don't we get any love regarding the talent we have most publications talk about our d but nothing about our o?
Because the offensive line, the quarterback and the starting running back are all unproven. When there are that many unproven elements to an offense, a lot of stars would have to align for it to have a successful season.

Any dependable possession receivers besides Rosario, now that DJ is out?
First of all, Dominique Johnson was not a dependable possession receiver. He was inconsistent with his effort and his play, which is what drove the staff nuts. And I don't think Rosario has proven to be a dependable receiver. He had 11 catches last season.
The possession guy I'm looking at is Terrence Austin. He should have a huge season.

Given that we haven't heard anything on Branden Warner, should we interpret that as good news, bad news, or no news at all?
I posted an update on him Friday morning. Here it is.

What do you think Gavin Ketchum will do this year?
I think he will be in the receiver rotation, but he needs to perform consistently and use his size against defensive backs.

Any updated news on the graduations and academic clearings of Branden Warner and Eddie Williams?
I posted a Warner update Friday. As far as Williams, I heard he had a good semester, but he still needs to take of a couple of classes during the summer before enrolling in August.

Ok there are 3 HS kids for 2009 on the academic ropes. Is there any hope that any of them can get things taken care of?
I think there is tremendous hope. I believe at least one will make it, and possibly all three will get in. I know each one worked their tail off, so it won't be for a lack of effort.

Taylor Embree was our best receiver last year. I suspect he will be this year as well.
