Why is safety Michael Thomas in bold?

@finer9erfan – No need to get defensive with another 9er fan, just pointing out that it’s not all bad that coach is working with players he knows – it’s not like he reached for them in the draft. He built a good team over there and he can mine some gems I’m all for it.

Also, without researching, I believe Konrad Reuland & Chase Beeler were on the team (or practice squad…they went back and fourth) last year.

@finer9erfan – I think Owusu deserved to be drafted so in that way I like the signing. I know he has medical issues, but it is worth a shot. At the very least, he is grade A practice squad material. Ginn is our returner and Kyle’s concussion issues had no bearing on his returning…he simply made some awful mistakes and shouldn’t have been out there especially after the diving catch in the first half of the NFCCG. I was yelling at my TV to get him out after that and to use Hunter although he was raw as well.

Considering that last year’s rooster featured 10 undrafted FA’s, I will give HarBaalke the benefit of the doubt.

Everyone needs to remember that the team is already complete. These players coming in will be scouted for practice squad or if they stand out possibly a roster spot, but it’s not really a necessity. If we hit on one of these players it’s great of not it’s not a big deal

finer9erfan, good thing we have Ted Ginn to return kicks then.

@nineroutsider – Ohh and btw I think your statement lacks less thought than yours. Can you please tell me how many current rookies are on the roster from Stanford:
Chris Owusu
Konrad Reuland
Chase Beeler
Derek Hall
Matthew Masifilo
Michael Thomas

6.7% of the current 90 man roster is of Stanford players and none existed previously.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

@nineroutsider – I find you a funny and odd man. Owusu is a huge ? Owusu suffered 3 concussions. Not sure about you but I don’t want him fielding kick returns. Look what happened the last time someone with a concussion issue fielded punt returns for our team.

I see Harbaugh learned from having Doug Baldwin escape to a division rival not to neglect going after players from his former job.

@finer9erfan – If your statement were true, I think they would have actually drafted a Stanford player this year or last. Your statement lacks thought.

HarBaalke are all about the best player winning out, so the more the merrier. I really like the Owusu signing; he will knock Williams and others off the team.

I honestly believe that Jacobs will have a hard time making this team, unless AD doesn’t step up. Hope he does.

I’d rather have a guy with no ACLs than Brandon Jacobs.

Lots of once promising players who sustained injuries. Let’s hope the Niners can land at least one who can contribute.

3 Stanfordites huh?

I’m all for picking up talent but let’s not try to make Stanford the farm school for the 49ers.

Also, WHY THE HELL ANOTHER RB? It’s too crowded as it is. Is Hampton happy with the practice squad?

How do you tear both ACL’s? Did he do a split?
