4 FBS transfers - should make a big impact, especially in the OVC.

And welcome!!

Great catch, (pun intended), with Trey.

He seems like a great kid from a great family. He also very seriously considered the Flyers, but in the end, EKU won out.... I think you will be surprised at just how good this kid is on a football field. I think he will also excel in the classroom. Very similar to Steve Vallentino at Dayton, just a smart kid and great all around athlete! I will be following him at EKU.

[Ursus A. Horribilis]

Yeah that's a lot of transfers for EKU. Thanks for the links man that's always a lot to see them. Welcome as well to ya.

[EKU_supporter]

Thanks for the welcome. EKU did lose two-time all conference QB Allan Holland and he will be tough to replace. EKU is also putting in a new field and doing some general improvements around the stadium to the clocks and scoreboard.

Many top notch returners in Hall, Hardeman, Watts, Barbour, Davis. Hopefully some of these new kids can help fill any holes. As I looked at the films I see some talent.

The OVC should be better overall this year.

I am researching, I hear there are a couple of other FBS transfers.

Looks like your coach has a definate rebuilding plan centered around transfers.

[EKU_supporter]

Appears that way. Some of it is fine, but too many can upset the apple cart.

[SUUTbird]

Agreed that to many could mess things up, however judging from the talent of these guys i think EKU will once again take the OVC.

[EKU_supporter]

Well, we hope so. Did you look at any of them? Thoughts? Impressions?

Also, the new field is being laid, starting to get excited about that.

[dbackjon]

What kind of turf you getting?

[EKU_supporter]

Field turf , pretty much like all the schools are getting.
