Summer Practice Question

How many schools have 100% participation in voluntary summer workouts this year? We're having a little debate over on GSUFans.com in regards to voluntary practice over the summer and I just wanted to get the opinion/observation from other 1-aa schools fans about it. Evidently 100% of the players on our roster have spent the summer in Statesboro participating in voluntary workouts and it's kind of exciting for us. I don't think we've ever had a team do that before (even when we were good).

Is this a common thing for other 1-aa schools? I know that the larger I-A programs these summer workouts are more "manditory" than "voluntary"...but it is interesting to hear what other schools are doing this year.

So that's a "no"?

I think about 44 VMI upperclassmen attended the 2nd summer school session (about 25 the first), and Coach very pleased with how they ran and lifted. :thumb:

Sometime in the mid 90's, Dexter Coakley took it upon himself to "encourage" all App players who possibly could be in Boone for the summer to do so. I don't know the exact numbers of how many stay in town currently, but I'd imagine that the number is near 100%.
