Hasn't been thrown to yet. I think that changes Saturday.

I don't think so. Obioha has been a beast so far. He was someone I didn't know a ton about when we signed him

What surprises me is that neither Polo, Jordan Richmond, nor Mike Richardson have played yet.

Thomas Johnson


So far a little under impressed with him, but I know he's going to be awesome to have in the long run.

He's our 3rd leading receiver.

Thomas Johnson has come on strong as a true fish

Mike Matthews has also played. I found it odd to not rs an Olineman but apparently the staff sees him as next year's starter so they want him to get some snaps.

That one handed catch while getting belted he had in the Florida game is already the stuff of legend. Eerily similar to another WR who wore #8.....

That dropped catch in the SMU game where the ball was a little behind him was frustrating. He is a freshman though, and will get better. I think in this offense he is a game breaker. He reminds me a lot of EZ.

Is anyone positive that Richmond or Richardson haven't been out on ST yet? I thought I saw one of them out for kicks against Florida?

According to the participation report, neither one was out there.

I remember seeing Richardson on defense this past weekend so I just looked up the participation chart and he did indeed play vs Arky (and actually vs SCSU as well). So one more to add to the list

This makes me wonder, has anyone heard more on Brandon Alexander? I don't see that he's played yet and he hasn't shirted. So assuming he's sticking it out, maybe he's redshirting this year.

actually since I've bumped this, I might as well list guys that I don't think have played so people can be on the lookout (and we can add to this list if non-fish are out there)

QB Matt Davis
WR Edward Pope
OL Germain Ifedi
OL Kimo Tipoti
DE Polo Manukainiu
DE Alonzo Williams
DE Brandon Alexander (SO)
LB Jordan Richmond
LB Tyrone Taylor
S Kenneth Marshall

so I count 10 right now

Richardson has played. Pretty sure Richmond is redshirted.

Holmes caught a pass against Arky. Also, as already mentioned, Richardson played on defense against Arky. I believe Richmond plays on special teams, but I'm not positive on that.

it's relatively easy to look this stuff up as all the game participation charts are on AggieAthletics

vs Florida
vs SMU
vs SC St
vs Arkansas

Richmond has not appeared in any of these

I'm really pleased that we appear to be RS'ing Richmond and some of the other defensive players. We need to build some depth and strength and a RS does that. Alexander is under the doghouse right now. He's got to earn his way out or he may get lost in the shuffle. Very surprising as he seemed like a real talent and a good kid. Gotta earn it with Sumlin though.

Holmes actually has looked pretty good in limited action. We throw the ball a lot but we also have a ton of receivers. TJ is a freaking stud though, he going to be really good.
