Does anyone know when the team will be reporting? It has to be fairly soon with a 9/1/2012 opener.

Re: Fall Camp

Per TV on twitter:

"Redshirt junior RB Mason Winterboer, a Brookings High grad, quit the SDSU football team. Increases odds of a true frosh being the 4th RB."

Re: Fall Camp

Too bad, I really liked the brand of football winterboer played...I'm sure he did it for a number of reasons. BUT, as a fan I always want to know why..was Gandy already ahead of him on the depth chart coming into Fall camp? If so, I can see why he would may have feel slighted, that may not be it at all... Just inquiring if anyone had knowledge or heard rumors...Gandy apparently is for real so I figured this was a practical and probable reason.

Re: Fall Camp

I remember he came out of spring ball in 2011 and they talked about how hard he worked and that he would challenge in the fall for a starting spot and then he only carried the ball one time - for 15 yards and never got in again. I thought at the time it was funny since our running game was so bad last year. Why not give the kid a chance. Oh well. I hope we can run the ball this season or it could be a long year

Terry posted his Fall Camp Primer on his blog today.

Couple thoughts:

1) I really hope the coaching staff decides to give Zenner the majority of the reps and RB and if Gandy proves to be a better runner than Kool (or Zenner) then I hope he gets the playing time right away. None of this crap from last year where more talented players toil away on the bench.

2) Am I the only one that reads R.C. Kilgore's name and immediately thinks of Kurt Vonnegut?

This may very well be the case.

Fight Club was Chuck Palahniuk, who is also pretty good.

Zenner and Gandy are 1-2 coming into fall camp according to my sources. Kool will primarily be used at receiver. I'm operating under the assumption that Mason was told he wouldn't have a large role. Again only an assumption.

This, I like.

Yep, Kool is back at wideout.

Tyrel tweeted confirmation of this late last night. I believe this is a good thing as well.

Re: Fall Camp

Happy to hear Kool is moving back to receiver, as I feel his skill set is better suited for that position. If he can shake off the rust and pick up where he left off 2 seasons ago, we might have one heck of a passing attack.

Re: Fall Camp

I had heard this move was coming. Also had heard that the gap between No. 1 and No. 2 RBs is wide, if not cavernous, making the loss of depth Winterboer provided a bit concerning.
