In the last few days there have been a number of happenings in Cougarland. Some expected. Some not. Some bad. Some good. It was rumored that there could be a strong possibility that highly touted RB Seta Pohahau (6.0/200 San Mateo CA/Aragon HS) might not qualify academically. Those rumours proved to be true as he will likely sit out the season and retake the admission tests (ACT or SAT) with hopes of enrolling possibly in January. Atem Bol (6.2/205 WR-Hurst TX/Bell HS) who also had not qualified will likely enroll at Snow College. On the other hand good news defensive lineman and JC transfer Bernard Afutiti (6.0/260) has already begun working out with the team. Also good news to bear former starter Russ Tialavea (6.3/300 DL-Oceanside CA) who missed the 2007 season with a severe knee injury is on schedule and should be good to go for fall camp. Lastly, on the medical mend is Travis Bright (6.5/314 OL-Queen Creek AZ) & Garrett Reden (6.3/273 OL-Valley Center CA) who are also on pace to be ready this season. However, Grant Nelson (David Nixon's backup, 6.2/225 LB-Hopewell PA) at strongside linebacker will miss the 2008 season. He will unfortunately undergo surgery in regards to a kidney abnormality (sometimes there are bigger things than football). Best wishes to Grant for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.
