And so the rumors begin......

I think that another year would have really helped T. Jones.

As far as Renard Williams goes, after watching him perform in the playoffs, I am still trying to figure out how MSU blocked him and the Eastern defensive line as well as they did. He has a real good shot if he can turn out a consistent effort of turning into a fine pro.
 
JoinTheEAA,
You couldn't have said it any better. We need EAA Members badly. I will be back busting my "BUTT" to get more Sholarship Monies for our Athletes. They are the "NATIONAL CHAMPIONS", they deserve all we can do, or even better. I am very proud of those Young Men and Coaches,as many of you are, they have put this University,Cheney, and the State Of Washington on the map. Now I am sure everyone that was interested of where EWU/Cheney is, now knows.

PDX,
I agree with you. Today most of the Athletes are looking for big bucks. I am not saying that about Taiwan, if he is projected to go that high, I wouldn't blame him. I am with all of you hoping it is just Rumors. Taiwan needs to put on some more weight, and get healthy before he can think of going to the NFL. Most Athletes does this because they want to help their Parents/Families.

After this year, we will get some more outstanding Athletes to play for us. We have some very Outstanding ones in the wings waiting their turn to shine. They will shine as soon as the season gets going. I will wish any of our Athletes that go to the NFL, all the Best, and let them know we appreciate what they have done for all of us. Vic Wallace
 
Well, that sucks - kinda. Good for TJ if he gets a good look, but I was hoping we'd see him around for another year. Too bad, but best of luck to TJ.
 
The Spokesmen is reporting that TJ is heading to the NFL. That sucks for us, but I hope he gets drafted high enough to make it worth it.

EWURanger,
It is official, SWX announced that TJ will be leaving. I am happy for him, keep your mind on this young man. Trenton Pinson, he is presently on the Practice Squad, if I am not mistaking, if he is at RB, he will be great. This young man has Softball size biceps, I told him if he kick me I would break his leg :lol: He said I would have to catch him, and he was certain he is faster than I am ;) I would agree 100% ;)

There were approximately 9 Recruits on Campus today, and some BIG Young Men. I did hear the rumors that Brinson from UW will be coming here to EWU. We will have to wait and see if it is the truth. His weight is 225 lbs. That will make two of UW Players coming to play for us, providing it is correct.

Got my two National Championship Hooded Jerseys today. Book Store was very crowed. Price $42.00 each, however on Fridays wear something about the Eagls FB Team, get 20% off. I got $8.40 off each Jersey. Well we wish Taiwan the best of luck and hope he stays healthy in the NFL.

We will miss seeing him on the Red Turf, surely will be nice to see him on Sundays in the NFL. "GOOD LUCK TJ FROM ALL EAGLE FANS". Raise hell at the next level. Vic Wallace
 
EWURanger,
I am still learnning the parts of my body. I mentioned Trenton Pinson Biceps is softball size, I am wrong it is his calf :lol: Maybe my age is confusing me on the parts of my body :mrgreen: Now laugh at me :) Vic Wallace
 
Demetrius Bronson will enroll for the spring quarter and bring a Maurice Jones Drew type running back for us. Very quick ,low to the ground and as wide as he is tall , incredibly strong, got the raw end of an injury at the UW similar to the Mitchell saga and WILL be the stud running back we missed this year between the tackles! Good luck to T J, a year with an N F L strenght coach, good nutrition, this guy will be a Devon Hester type game breaker !!! GOEAGS!

Flyingnail, what is your source for the news on DB? I really hope that's true!! Also, I'm with you on TJ. As far as draft status, it's a total crapshoot. For now nfldraftscout.com (which is one of the most reliable and accurate draft ranking pages historically) has him as the #16 back overall and going in the 5th round. Even if he goes undrafted (which is possible), my gut says he'll still sign somewhere. You're right about a year in a weights/nutrition program. That guy can add 10 lbs in his arms and shoulders alone haha.

Bronson would be a big time signing if he comes here....he is a stud....the type of back we need between the tackle. Mario and Bronson would be a great 1-2 punch next year if this is true.
 
Here's DB's player bio from gohuskies.com. Looks like he'll have two years of eligibility left. Can't wait to see this guy line up in an Eags uni!!!!!!

HIGH SCHOOL & PERSONAL: Finished high school career with 3,810 rushing yards ... was averaging more than 200 yards per game as a senior before suffering an ankle injury ... still finished his final prep season with 1,450 yards rushing ... selected the South Puget Sound League's 4A Co-Offensive Back of the Year and a first-team all-league running back ... named a "red chip" prospect by the Seattle Times ... an Associated Press 4A all-state honorable mention selection ... member of the Seattle Times' "Star Times" team ... named all-West Region by PrepStar ... made the Tacoma News-Tribune's "Northwest Nuggets" honorable mention ... one of 14 running backs listed on the News-Tribune's Western 100 ... rated as the No. 11 recruit in Washington and the No. 59 running back in the country by Scout.com ... ranked as the state of Washington's No. 13 football recruit and as the nation's No. 39 running back by Rivals.com ... rated the No. 13 recruit in the state by Superprep ... selected to participate for the West team at the Washington State Football Coaches Association's annual East West All-Star Game ... as a junior, ran for 1,437 yards and 14 touchdowns, earning first-team All-South Puget Sound League honors ... as a sophomore, rushed for 1,045 yards over 10 games, earning All-SPLS first-team accolades ... also ran the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters and various relays on the Conquerors track team ... top times through the spring of 2007 included 11.14 in the 100, 22.74 in the 200 and 51.94 in the 400 ... older brother, John, was a standout defensive lineman at Kent-Meridian before playing college ball at Penn State and in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals ... sister Leitawsha played basketball and is now a shotputter at Morgan State ... played football under coach Rex Norris at Kentwood.
 
Seattle times says he has 3 years left...played in '09 as a true frosh then didn't play at all this year(use as his redshirt) leaving him three years.
 
Nothing official - I've just read a bunch of things that elude to him coming. Like everything, I'll believe it when it's official, although there's flyingnails's above post which says it was on the radio.
 
would not surprise me one bit to see him end up at eastern. UW is very deep in the backfield and with the recognition we've gotten this year and TJ going pro, plus the fact that he can play as early as next year and not have to sit out a year everything points to him coming here. I think we have had a lot of kids from Kent, and Kentwood in particular in the past. I think Stuckey even came from that school. Sort of a no brainer IMHO.
 
I do believe Bronson sat out his 1st year with UW due to Academic ineligability. Then played as a true freshman last year, and didn't play this year (which would be a redshirt year). That gives him 3 years of eligability left if he were to go to Eastern or any FCS school. Also, he's probably 21yrs old which isn't all bad either.
 
He was part of the '08 recruiting class but did not enroll unti Jan. '09 which usually is by request from coaches and called a grey-shirt( not grades, don't want to put that label on him). As stated played as a true freshman in '09 then did not play in '10(used as red shirt).
