The Tensions between North and South Korea are finally beginning to ease with the first official meeting between the two states in nearly two years. The North Koreans had come to pay their respect to the former South Korean leader. Kim Dae-jung, who had tried to unite the Korean peninsula. This comes after North Korea has shown some loosening of their threats of nuclear war and intense stand-offs with South Korea. The North Koreans have made diplomatic efforts to ease tensions with allowing families split by the border to be reunited and assuring that cross- border businesses would soon resume. The U.N. believes that the reason there has been relaxing of the position of North Korea is due to the food shortages they are experiencing.

The Thundering Herd has yet to decide which of it's incoming freshman players are going to be redshirted and with those rumors floating around it is giving hope to some players that they may be able to get some playing time. One of those freshman players is linebacker, Quanthony Fletcher. He is one of the top recruits from this years freshman class. He was rated in the nation's top 10 prospects at his position by multiple recruiting services. He was recruited by Tennessee, Purdue, Colorado State, and UCF before he decided on Marshall. He plans to get some playing time this season after learning things very quickly and receiving some extra help from defensive coordinator Rick Minter.

I am glad to hear that North and South Korea are easing up on eachother. Understandably of course that business and food shortages are the reason.
ReplyDeleteOn the Marshall subject I see that some freshmen have their high hopes of playing, which could possibly happen. I hope they get some playing time, maybe it could help.
