Sounds like Bronco is sticking to his guns about Chambers sitting out this season. Good news on Bryson and Gaines making it back.

On the down side, we may not have Drew Phillips. According to Bronco, he still has to pass two classes before he will be allowed to play this Fall. I REALLY hope he gets it together academically. I want to see what he can do.

Come on Drew! Get those grades up!

I am glad these two young me will be returning. Since they will miss fall camp, how much playing time, if any, might we see of them this year? Bryson played a lot last year, right?

I have been so excited to see drew Phillips, if he is ineligible I'll die. But why aren't bryson and gaines allowed to join the team until school starts? Can they be there and just not practice or are they not allowed to even be there.

Love that Bryson is back. Our DE's/OLB's just got a major boost

I've been wanting to see the speedster myself for quite a while. Having said that, I heard that he had a quiet spring camp.

Drew Phillips brother posts a lot on CougarBoard. HE is aphi2. Someone ought to invite him over here. He attends Auburn University.



I am really happy Bryson is back. I knew Gaines was going to be back, but thought we would lose Bryson, so pleased that is not the case. More depth on the Dline, with an outside pass rusher.

My guess is that they are not currently enrolled in school right now so they aren't eligible to practice with the team until the semester starts. I believe the same thing happened with Tonga.

This is what Bronco had to say according to Greg Wrubel

"Toward the end of his interview, Mendenhall addressed the status of numerous players with either injury or eligibility issues, and revealed that promising RB/return specialist Drew Phillips is a question mark for the coming season. "Drew Phillips has...academic issues, and he's currently working on that. To be determined whether he's with us for fall camp, when school starts, etc. (or playing at all this season)."



Mendenhall listed DL Thomas Bryson and DB Kori Gaines as payers who will practice with the team but not play this coming season. The coach said NTs Romney Fuga (knee) and Jordan Richardson (knee) are both on pace to take part starting with the first day of camp.



LB Jordan Atkinson will not play his senior season; back issues have ended is playing career. "

I invited him back when he first popped up on cougarboard.

Per Jay Drew:



* DE Thomas Bryson will be joining the team the first day of school, thereby missing fall camp. He most likely will not play this season. Mendenhall said there's a very slight chance Bryson will make it back in good standing before fall camp begins, and if he does, he will play. - Here's to hoping

Its interesting how there are three different sources for this news and they are all materially different.

Drew's brother on cougarboard stated that drew was good to go, that he was going to be back at school in august and then be ready to go for fall practice. he said as of now he is planning on being their for fall practice. i think he has a two classes he needs to get done but hopefully he can do them over summer term.



i would hate to see him lose another year. i am a big drew phillips fan. hope things work out for him.
