So Tommy Jones won't be the Mudcats starting QB this season?

Conner can play either QB or reciever. He is an athlete. PLUS, his name will help fill a few extra seats. I personally do not if Tommy will be back. The nature of the game is to try to move up. I believe he enjoyed the area. If I am not mistaken, he is tight with Coach Brents. I hope he comes back!

I would like him to come back as well. But Conner would fill in nicely if Tommy leaves. :smileymudcats: :smileymudcats: :smileymudcats:

Either way - we are lucky to have the coaching staff and recruiting talent Brents and Broussard bring to the table. Together with the backing of Patterson - we will be a hard team to compete with.
Tommy Jones was awesome for the MudCats but the name of the game is to 'move 'em up' -- so we wish him the best with his career and would welcome him back with open arms.
Omarr is a great asset for the team.
