Not a tweet, but since it we are about to start football season, here is Demarcus Threatt scoring a touchdown. I also think Jared Harper was a football player.
Thompson's (1) Demarcus Threatt breaks free for a touchdown during the Oak Mountain vs Thompson high school football game Fri., Oct. 01, 2010 in Alabaster, Ala. (The Birmingham News/Bernard Troncale).

Football players usually bring an extra bit of toughness in their athletic play. Unfortunately most don't have the skills to be high quality hoops players, but apparently these two do. So that's all the better for the Stags who (quite frankly) were a bit short in this quality last year.
I remember those last Stag teams as being pretty good. I know a lot of people were upset when Fairfield announced they were dropping the sport. Was it the right move? That's for others to discuss. However I do know that financial reasons were very much at the heart of the decision. And interestingly enough a story has just come out at Hawaii where the athletic director at the school has just announced that their program is in deep trouble and may have to be shutdown if they can't stop the red ink that has been occuring recently. But ironically (as I just found out) the athletic director is a former employee at Fairfield, Ben Jay, who I believe was a ticket manager about 20-25 years ago. Interesting how careers evolve!
And the NY GIANTS new Offensive Coordinator is Ben McAdoo who was an Assistant Coach for Stag Football in the final season (2002). From Alumni Stadium to Met Life Stadium. Unfortunately that Stag team finished with a losing record at (5-6) and I hope that doesn't bode well for what's to come for Eli this season.
Looking at that football pix and reading what his coach and others have said about him, I get the sense that Threatt is all about hard work and winning. Looking forward to seeing him and reading some live reports.
Verbal Commits @verbalcommits · 2h 2015 Palm Beach State College (FL) F Jarrel Marshall has received an offer from Fairfield. @_rellyrel_ verbalcommits.com/players/jarrel-marshall …
David Cole 2016 had a good visit. He is 6-6 and from Christ the King in NYC. Same school as Mo Barrow. I would like to see whoever we recruit at the 3 have superior ballhandling, passing and basketball IQ. I think that is critical for a championship program.
@dcole14_: Had a wonderful unofficial visit at Fairfield university #Blessed @mshonebahar
Any significance in this picture with Marcus Gilbert shown as one of 6 highlighted players in the MAAC. The others I think are Drame of Q-Pac, English of Iona, Washington of SPC, Poole of Siena, and Lewis of Marist.....all top 10 players. I realize that each of those 5 players have teammates that can also be considered top 10 ........ Hearst, Laury, Domonique, Bispring, Hart. And there are others in the league that also can be considered for Top 10, so a nice recognition for Marcus.
Realistic "Stretch Goals" are that Marcus can make 2nd team All-MAAC, Amadou can make 3rd Team All MAAC, and that Threatt has the immediate impact to slip into an All-MAAC slot.
