If you didn't see Spack's press conference, posted on the football website, you have to do it. A good 20 minute investment. He has some interesting stuff to say, altho sometimes those questions are hard to hear. I think he was really touting the Bussone kid from Normal as a potential impact this fall - he's talking about someone 6'2 300 lbs. who "explodes" and is his (Spack's) kind of nose tackle. Gave a very interesting couple of minutes on the "salary cap" - compared the ability to give partial schollies to having a salary cap, you have 63 schollies to spread over up to 85 guys, so you have some choices to make. Talked about being able to "reward" people with partials who improve, so you can move them up. At FBS levels, it's all or nothing, so some walk-ons never get any dough because you have to give them the whole amount. Interesting discussion. He also praised someone named Cindy in the football office who keeps the money straight and in compliance. I'm sure some of you know who that is.
Anyway, he also talked about the Bennyhoff kid, and also the WR from E. St. Louis (and really praised the new WR coach for being able to get him). Had some interesting things to say about the new staff.
Check it out!! :clap:
