So Colt's arm strength is a question at the senior bowl. Joe Flacco is being named the top QB at the senior bowl. Thought?
Weird. I was reading this on SI.com today. Everyone was blown away by Flacco, good reports on Henne, they worried about Colt's arm strength, and the Kentucky QB can't hit the broad side of a barn.. and has a weak arm. Colt I'm sure will be fine, but he's being projected as a 2nd day QB.

Not a bad pickup for the Warriors with that QB.. so two new ones?
So Brennan's not getting rave reviews pre-Combine.. what's the status of his draft stock?

Spring ball is going well for the Warriors so far. Coach Mack is doing a wonderful job. We have tremendous depth at pretty much every position. We have a bunch of very good, experienced recruits coming in the summer and fall, which will make competition that much more solid. Right now we have two QB's that are battling for taking Colt's spot. Tyler Graunke and Inoke Funaki are listed as the Co. #1 QB's headed into the final week of practice. Our Spring game (the Warrior Bowl) in this Saturday and we should learn a lot. Personally, I think Tyler Graunke is the better of the two and ultimately will be the top guy headed into fall ball. The competition will get much more heated come this summer when top JC QB transfers Brett Rauch (6'5" 215lbs) and Greg Alexander (6'5" 240lbs, 4.6 40) land in Honolulu.
The offense will continue to be one of the tops in the country. We'll continue w/ the 4 wide offense but we'll go under center and run it more. We have one of the best player that nobody knows about in the country. That is RB Leon Wright-Jackson (6'2" 215lbs, 4.3 40.) Right now, he's the best RB in the WAC and nobody knows about him. He'll go off.
As for the defense, we're as solid as we've ever been on this side of the ball. WE lost a bunch of players but there are a bunch of players that have been waiting in the wings and are poised to breakout. We have 2 transfer DB's (CB Jameel Dowling- Oregon, SS Mana Silva- Oregon State) that could be in the starting lineup for the Warriors come opening day @Florida. We have the best returning front 7 in the WAC and one of the best core of LB's in the country (OLB Blaze Soares, ILB Solomon Elimimian and Adam Leonard.)
I don't think this team will go 12-1 but talent wise, this could be the best Warrior team ever. Playing tough road games @Florida, Oregon State, Boise State and Fresno State will only bode well for the future. The Warriors also play tough home games against Nevada, Cincinnati and Washington State.
Can't wait for Football Season. August can't come soon enough.

Colt Brennan is doing well. Of course all the media nerds are ripping on him for no particular reason. The bottom line is he's the best QB in the draft whether he goes in the 4th or 7th round. He did what he needed to do during the off-season. He put on over 20 lbs and now weights 218 pound on his 6'3" frame. With more weight on him, his durability issues are no more and he also has improved his arm strength. Those two things were his only weaknessed headed into the draft. He's by far the most accurate QB in this class. He can make all of the throws, he's more mobile than he's been given credit for and he has all the intangibles (he's a great leader, competitor and hard worker.) Some team is going to get the steal of the draft when the draft this kid!

Can't disagree w/ that. Leon has the ability to carry a team either way. He will get his share of carries, yards and TD's in '08
As for Greg Alexander, if he beats out Tyler in the fall, he truly is the real deal. Tyler has been here forever and has earned the right to start. He proved he can lead us to victories in clutch situations in hostile enviroments. I'm confident that whoever the QB is, the offense will be in good shape.
