Monday's Thoughts 2/8..

- Former FAU players TE Jason Harmon and QB Rusty Smith took place in the Nation vs Texas Senior Game this past weekend and there were some mixed results. Comments looked very positive throughout the three days of practice for Harmon, as some draft sites even called him a sleeper that came out of no where. Smith on the other hand had a Tebow-like senior game in which he went 5-12 for 63 yards. Smith's draft status has been slipping since his mid-season injury. Both Harmon and Smith still have a shot to be FAU's first drafted NFL player, but they will have to have great pro day workouts. I'm giving more of a shot to get drafted somewhere in the 7th round as he is extremely athletic and has great hands. I think is really will come down to how fast he can run the 40 yard sprint.

- Bowling Green WR Freddie Barnes college football's leading receiver from the past season wasn't invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Barnes a former high school quarter back finished this season with 155 catches, 1,170 yards and 19 Tds.

- Sun Belt baseball predictions are out and Rivals.com has FAU slotted to finsih 7th. Middle Tennessee State who is coming off a NCAA regional berth is set to be the class of the Sun Belt. Look out for Troy, Western Kentucky and Florida International to all challenge.

- Washington Capitals LW Alex Ovechkin put on a dominating performance Sunday against last years Stanley Cup champions the Pittsburgh Penguins. Ovechkin rallied the Capitals back from a 3-goal defect by scoring 3-goals of his own and nearly putting a 4th when the Capitals won in overtime. If more national televised games like this occur, the NHL has a shot to come back.

- Back with more later
