Why so many scouts this year?

I don't know who you are friends with on the team but you're letting that get in the way of your analysis of these players.

Did you really just compare Rob Housler to Jason Harmon? and claim he was BETTER??? Rob Housler, the guy that knew he wasn't going to get the starting job over not just one…but TWO other players that were also Seniors, so he decided to redshirt. We are talking about the same guy right? Jason Harmon who I can't for the life of me think of a time where he dropped a pass, should not even be insulted with a comparison to Housler.

Exactly. Housler isn't even in the same room as Harmon. The whole "yeah they can't execute but look how athletic they look" argument is getting really, really old. This isn't a beauty pageant.

Getting off the mark there a little bit. Lockley has a great family. He also went to one of the best High school in the state of florida, I was told. Van camp also. I don't know Housler that well. The question is, are there more scouts this year and why? I knew mentioning certain names would light up the board. ;D I still like that moniker betterthandeadandunborn.  8) Please someone answer the question. Why so many scouts this year? IMO I think there are far more this year. What your take on it. We all know we have no input as to what they see or decide. Is this a better crop of Guys?

Re: Why so many scouts this year?

Just a thought, but maybe we've shown enough during our pro days, and from our ufa's invited to tryout at the next level, to deserve a longer look from scouts. I do think Rusty, Harmon, and Rose made an impression last year. I also believe that even though we've struggled over the past 3 years, there has always been an upside to our less sucessful seasons. Last year I was shocked that JVC came on as well as he did, and Morris was a revelation. I think in terms of talent we are on the fringe of where we need to be. I don't know how much credence I give the star system, but I do believe we need 3 or 4 "special" players to make a difference. Not necessarily elite athletes, but "football players" with the right combination of talent, intelligence, and motivation. Plus if you really look at the big picture we have done very well for such a young program. I do think the stadium will have a huge impact on recruiting those "special" players.

GO OWLS!

Beware the talons of the Mighty Owls!

Rick how are you doing? Just checking in Housler, Lockley, jean and Van camp stock seem to be going up, that's great for the OWL'S.

I think everyone's stock is going down with the lock-out, and by everyone… I mean the whole NFL.

Not sure what the protical is with the NFL lockout currently in place, but does anyone know if team officials are still allowed to meet with NFL draft prospects?

Last year, Rusty Smith had a meeting with Tennessee Titans officials and got drafted by them. I would personally feel more comfortable with our chances of our guys getting drafted if they had meetings with teams.
