Vic, thanks for the update and please keep it up. We'll be out for the last spring scrimmage and say hey but in the meantime it helps to have some "eyes on the ground."

Excited about this Devin Topps kid, I wouldn't be surprised to see him starting as a True Freshman.

Who all is going to be there at the practices? I'm going to head over in an hour or so.

GO EAGLES!

Don't get too worked up. He's a great talent but there's a reason he's not at an FBS school and that's grades. IF he makes it, he'll be a Prop 48 next year. He won't see the field. Hopefully, he graduates from HS and gets to Cheney...

 

[Dozy]

You are totally wrong here. He left SMU for more than the reason of losing the starting job. Who does he have with him? Know the story??? Don't say you do if you don't. When was the other time(s) he up and left when the going got tough? How many colleges did Coach Jones play for? As for character, I know the kid very well, not family, but close enough. I would be proud to call the young man a son. Folks are weighing in, good and bad, based on second hand information. Let the play and actions speak for themselves. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt. As for his freshman season at SMU... A lot of Freshman including o-line, plus, did not have McNeil and new coach, new system, and a freshman QB. I don't care who you are, you can't do it by yourself whether you are a DB or QB. One man does not make the team. They ALL showed great improvement this last year with a full year under their belts and some key personnel changes. Whether Bo starts or not, he will be an asset to this organization. He's a solid kid, good student, and good teammate. Get to know him.

MLR, glad to have him. Don't let the "NEGles" bring you down. Probably crabby parents of other QB's worried about more competition for their kids...

Its early but word in camp is Minerlly has put on muscle and size and was zipping the ball as good as anyone !GO EAGLES should be interesting !

HannahO,
Will keep all up to date as much as possible. The WR, #81 name Is Dalton Puyear, walkon last year from University High School. He looks very good snatching the balls when thrown him. I am very much impressed with our Wide Receivers, they all looked outstanding. Our Quarter Backs are all looking great. Of course, we will have to wait until they put the pads on, will seperate the men from the boys. I noticed another walkon on Thurs practice no pads wearing #50, found out he is Tyler Jolley brother. If he is anything like his brother Tyler, he will be a great additon to our team. He is on Defense at the present time.

As usual is was snowing a little on and off on Thursday, and very cold & windy. Glad they had a day off Friday. Next practice if April 7th, @ 4pm. Will be there. Go Eagles! Vic

Whoops...Sorry. I didn't want anyone to assume the competition is over for QB. I will tell you that whoever wins the QB job, Bo Levi will fully support his team and coaches. Yes, he threw a lot of int's at SMU learning the system. June Jones has one of the most complicated in college football. Bo is smart, competitive and cocky. If he wins the job he will be a team leader. One of the reasons he left SMU is that he didn't fit in with the rich, preppy, "I'm entitled" culture. Hawaii would have been a better fit, who recruited him first, but he absolutely loves June Jones and followed him to SMU. (I doubt June Jones fits into the culture either; don't expect him to stay too long.).

With all that said, two young men left Katy Texas two weeks ago in a pick-up filled with all thier belongings and traveled 2200 miles through beautiful country they have never seen before. They were anxious, curious and excited. They moved into a small apartment with no furnishings or beds. They will spend Easter alone and are not used to snow in the Spring. The tall kid at practice that you see hanging around Bo is his oldest brother Patrick (6'7" - 220). Walk up and introduce yourself, he's an amazing athlete and young man. They probably feel a little isolated right now, the closest thing we have to mountains in Katy is a freeway overpass. Other than Louisianna I doubt they have spent much time out of the state of Texas.

You can trash Bo on this site if you want, he's used to it; but at least be real. Also be warry of any new posters that seem overly harsh; they would be disgruntled SMU fans.

Looking forward to seeing Cheny, I hear it's beautiful.

 

[eagle11]

I am very glad that he chose to come to EWU and I believe the few negative posters on here are either disgruntled parents and/or friends of the other QB's. I had the opportunity to meet Bo Levi the other day and he is a very polite young man and is extremely excited to be here. I watched him at practice the other day and he is looking really good. I think that it will come down to Bo Levi, Jeff Minnerly, and Nick Gauthier. Once again welcome to EWU and the inland northwest Bo Levi and his family. Go Eagles!!!

 

[Screamin_Eagle174]

6'7, 220! What's his 40 time look like? Get that kid catching some balls!!!

 

[Obzerver]

Heck, we could use him on the basketball court...

:lol: You aren't lying! :lol:

There are 4 Mitchells coming up to Washington. Bo Levi Mitchell, Partick Honeycutt, Cory Mitchell, and the youngest Scooter Mtichell. Cory Mitchell is a hard working football player who has hands, speed, and great concentration. BLM never underestimates his competitors and will always give his best no matter what school or state he is in. Im very excited that im getting the oppourtuntiy to come up to Washington, and most of all be apart of the EWU eagles. IF anyone needs to know anything about any of the Mitchell's just ask. I know there are alot of questions.

 

[fccubed]

Spill the beans! I think we would all like to know their back grounds. Position, height, weight, year, etc...

 

[Obzerver]

Also what their sign is, who are they dating, fav color, boxers or briefs...

 

[Screamin_Eagle174]

:lol:

I'd just like to know what year Patrick (he's the 6'7 one, right?) is and if he'll be playing WR. 40 time too if it's known.

Screw the 40 time, I want to know what his vertical is!

 

[Eagle10]

Is that the Booster Back Pedal I hear?

Earlier, someone stated that BLM wouldn't come up here "just for a CHANCE to play football". Point One.

His family certainly seems to think he's locked it up, based on various posts here and on the Mustangs forums. Point Two.

Regardless - when the goin' gets tough, this kid up and leaves. But would he have gone ALL THE WAY TO CHENEY if he knew he was going to be faced with a competition? <shaking head>

The guys who busted their a$$es in winter conditioning? You obviously don't know what they're being rewarded with based on that comment. No matter. The competition is on - for backup.

Good post MLR. I can't wait to see the kid play.

I agree. No one should try to judge any of the Mitchell's until everyone has meet them personally. Very respectful people and I promise, EWU fans will not be disappointed. They are here to win and none the less. They are very excited to be apart of EWU and can't wait to get things on the move.

Hey I have a question. Why EWU over UF for the youngest, Scooter I believe? Especially with the opportunity to play QB? Read it somewhere, just can't remember where...

 

[eagle11]

All of the Mitchells are welcome. After watching Bo Levi compete in spring ball all of the Mitchells are welcome. Go Eagles!!!

 

[eagle11]

We need more players from the state of Texas!

 

[Vic E. Wallace]

Eagle 1,
It is nice to have a player like BLM. I wouldn't argue about that. We have just as good players in our High School System in Wa. State. Coach Beau and his Coaches does an outstanding job recruiting them with what little Scholarship monies available. Don't get me wrong, if we see an opportunity to get more players from Katy,TX, or elsewhere, go for it.

The little scrimmage on Friday afternoon, was great. BLM didn't play, however the other 4 Quarterbacks were outstanding. It is nice having all those QBs, and they all look so damn great, miss Jeff Minnerly. We were worried about the weather, but the "MAN"up above made a great practice, keeping the rain to little sprinkles.

Spoke with Ben Kaplan, News 4, he did interview Jeff, he said there will be a Special on Jeff, Tuesday Evening @ 6 & 11pm. Hope many of us get an opportunity to see it. We had quite a bunch of young men watching the scrimmage, that really want to walkon in the Fall. I spoke with a Ricardo Tucker, RB from Kent, WA. he said he will be walking on, small but a well developed upper body, the way I looked many years ago. :lol: Watch your mouths.

Tom, hope you had a great trip to Oregon, and Seattle. You missed a great practice even if it was short. Spoke with Matt Johnson, his brother Zach had a successful surgery on his knee on Thursday, the knee wasn't as bad as they taught. They will be both ready in August when practice starts. Those are two studs when it comes to tackling and hitting. He said he can't wait to get into the tackling and hitting part.

Had one injure, Paul Ena, did something to his right elbow area, Trainers said everything seems ok. He was in a lot of pain, he will bounce back. Coach had to make a Defensive/Offensive player take a jog to the bleachers where Soccer Games are help, because of a little heated practice. When they returned they were breathing very hard. Those young men are fighting for their positions, and I love seeing it. We don't it in games, it may cause us some penalties we don't want. Will keep their names secret, both Red Shirt Freshmen from last year. Will Katao #65 DL,Nick Stewart DL, Brandon Murphy Ol, Steve Forgette, #61,OL/Snapper, Ashton Miller #66 OL/Snapper, Russell Turpin OL, Cody Humphrey OL, and other players looked great. Left out somes names, however, olur Offense/Defense will be great. So much for my book. Have a great Summer. Go Eags! Vic
