Code:
Idaho Roster, Scout Overview
Player # Pos Elig Current Estimate Future Estimate
Elliss, Jay 1 QB Sr* 27 56
Strickland, Scottie 13 QB Jr* 49 92
Caswell, Seth 18 QB So* 37 88
Olivera, Jimmie 16 QB Fr 16 77
Braxton, Cory 5 QB* So 0 20
Strickland got to play a year earlier than expected and put up big numbers, although I'm concerned by his large number of picks against tougher competition. Caswell didn't develop enough to challenge for the starting job and Olivera looks awful (low Avoid INT).
Code:
Crangle, Robert 36 RB Sr 74 80
Barnes, Scott 30 RB Jr* 74 81
Kleinsasser, Moe 35 RB Fr 48 100
Fausel, Walter 34 RB* Sr 18 26
Franklin, Roger 24 RB* Jr 14 33
Brockway, O.J. 22 FB* Sr* 18 49
Spezzano, Preston 29 FB* So* 6 6
Swinford, Carlton 44 FB* Fr 7 9
Crangle and Barnes will split time as the starting RB. Kleinsasser is a great option for the future.
Code:
Springer, Todd 97 TE Sr 56 85
Mayes, Skip 92 TE Sr* 59 71
Becker, Conrad 88 TE Jr* 37 53

Fleming, Joseph 82 WR So* 43 97
Flannery, Bill 86 WR So* 31 63
Martinez, Marcus 89 WR Fr 39 100
Once again, the strongest part of my team. Even my TE's are really good.
Code:
Drake, Nolan 57 C Sr 73 73
Bryant, David 50 C Sr* 84 95
Frederick, Marlon 58 C So* 25 66
Cason, Wayne 65 G Sr 83 83
Knight, Nathan 71 G Sr* 49 71
Wiggins, Randal 73 G Jr* 64 91
Marshall, Colin 69 G So* 31 58
Reed, Alonzo 61 G Fr 29 94
Hitchcock, Stephen 75 T Sr 39 97
Fox, Ben 66 T Sr* 83 100
Lang, Gene 60 T Jr* 34 60
Euell, Spencer 74 T So* 33 51
Shields, Luther 63 T Fr 3 58
Fox finally developed, giving us 4 terrific starters on the line. Right Tackle will be the weak spot.
Code:
Ackerman, Timothy 19 P Jr 77 77
Emerson, Luther 12 P* Sr* 42 45
Johnson, Irving 2 K Jr 83 100
Scott, Eugene 15 K* Jr* 10 10
Johnson had a terrible season last year (only 9 of 17 FG's), but he's now one of the highest rated Kickers in college football, so hopefully he turns it around.
Code:
Carpenter, Phil 76 DE Sr 42 50
Hatcher, Howard 94 DE Sr* 25 35
Linquist, Corwin 72 DE Jr* 28 55
Cole, Mack 78 DE So* 20 81
Beattle, Mark 95 DE So* 21 44
Woods, Rich 99 DE Fr 17 72
Wright, Bennie 77 DE* Jr* 9 9
Hollis, Marty 98 DT Sr 62 62
Woodson, Grady 96 DT Sr* 62 62
Meier, Gerald 70 DT Jr* 32 59
Quintanilla, Adam 68 DT So* 22 64
Dilly, Andrew 79 DT Fr 19 67
Starks, Buddy 67 DT Fr 18 43
Still having trouble getting development for my DE's. This is a huge weak spot, unless they can play up to their potential. At least we look solid in the middle.
Code:
Newman, Jack 42 ILB Sr 62 62
Richmond, Lance 47 ILB So* 33 47
Flowers, Korey 45 ILB Fr 18 31
Webb, Marco 53 ILB* Sr 3 3
Burke, Corwin 49 ILB* So 4 4
Sarbanes, Terry 55 ILB* So* 3 3
Hitchcock, Leland 51 ILB* Fr 9 45
Urpsis, Ted 54 OLB Sr 31 52
Colwell, Russell 91 OLB Sr 52 69
Raphael, Maurice 56 OLB Sr* 38 84
Levine, Trent 46 OLB Jr* 35 66
Ellison, Glen 52 OLB Jr* 45 69
Galloway, Antonio 40 OLB So* 30 81
Eyer, Leonard 41 OLB So* 32 57
Andrew, Adam 59 OLB Fr 19 71
Carter, Cris 90 OLB* Sr* 2 2
I was down on Newman earlier, but he's developed very well and had a terrific year last season. The OLB's are deep, but need more development.
Code:
Austin, Troy 21 CB Sr 74 78
Snyder, Bruce 26 CB Sr* 57 72
Grayson, Dwight 25 CB Sr* 25 49
Dawkins, Kerry 32 CB Jr* 47 48
Stokes, Howard 23 CB So* 37 74
Leiter, Devin 48 CB So* 27 83
Ingram, Alan 39 CB Fr 12 80
Snyder, J.B. 27 CB Fr 36 67
Schwartz, Jon 31 S Sr 67 76
Gibson, Rob 38 S Sr 57 76
Montgomery, Conrad 28 S Sr* 56 82
Shapiro, Lorenzo 43 S Jr* 45 92
Almon, A.J. 20 S So* 31 64
Flynn, Trevor 33 S Fr 19 87
This group has played very well for a couple seasons now and they look poised to do it again.
