is Ali going to play for Marshall this year?

I put money on Javon Harvey being better than 4th team.

As of right now, Yes. I have not heard he won't, but who knows in this day and time.

He's like our posterboy for the Thundertrust NIL group. I don't think he'll be leaving for monetary reasons. And after Laborn was well received into the NFL as a FA, he knows he can get there from here, so there's not a major advantage to him leaving. He is very loyal to Huff, as well. But stranger things have happened. He's gonna get worked hard, I am more concerned he stays healthy than leaves for greener pastures.

I forgot McCall didn't leave. Guess I could be wrong on the CCU win total.

I fully expect USM's numbers to be much better than this come season's end. Only 1 out of 30 on 1st team GTFO!

Pretty slim pickings for Cajuns as well. Hope we have some surprises being overlooked.

OG King McGowen will be 1st team…also the next NFL OL for the Cajuns.
