Committee evaluates realistic options Marissa Novel

@MarissaNovel_DE | Daily Egyptian

Fresh ideas for downtown Carbondale are budding, but the Downtown Advisory Committee believes it will take financial, public and community responsibility to see these plans through.

The Downtown Advisory Committee had its seventh of eight meetings to discuss economic, civic and neighborhood viability at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Carbondale Community High School.

Charles Leonard, a political scientist and

visiting professor for the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, began the meeting with results from an Internet opt-in survey completed by 4,300 alumni about the downtown area.

“Ninety percent of alumns recommend SIU as a place to go to school,” he said. “Fifty percent would recommend SIU as a place to visit. About 25 percent would recommend Carbondale as a place to live. So your work is cut out for you.”

Leonard said alumni were also interested in more restaurants, local businesses, walk and bike paths. He said alumni said the city

is a poor option for entrepreneurs and postcollege job opportunities.

Jack Langowski, the chairman of the committee, said the requests of the alumni are reflected by the ideas from the committee and community members.

“The survey verifies many observations we’ve been making across the last seven months,” he said. “Many of the things he pointed out are really verifications of what we have said or heard from the public.”

Shelters adjust care for cold weather Marissa Novel

@MarissaNovel_DE | Daily Egyptian

As temperatures decrease, different animal shelters in the southern Illinois area have their own way of handling new animals.

Of the more than 7 million companion pets that enter shelters each year, 20 percent are adopted and 20 percent are euthanized, according to the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

St. Francis Care in Murphysboro is a no-kill shelter.

A no-kill shelter is a facility that houses as many animals as possible without euthanizing them.

Kay Creese, the executive director of St. Francis Care, said the shelter is at capacity with 110 animals, most of which are dogs. She said she does have to turn away animals, but refers people to other no-kill shelters in the area,which includes Pets Are Worth Saving in Anna and Wright-Way Rescue in Murphysboro.

“If I don’t have kennel space, I don’t have kennel space,” she said. “But we try to have some kennels open this time of year when it starts getting cold, because we get a lot of desperation cases.”

Creese, a licensed veterinarian, said desperation cases are animals who are underweight, sick or without shelter.

She said these cases are results of pet owners not adjusting animal care to fit the season, which includes providing fresh, unfrozen water, food and sufficient insulation for outdoor homes.

Creese said the shelter stockpiles food year round, and provides free food and low-cost veterinary aid, including spays and neuters, to low-income households. She said the shelter has provided medical help since she began working there in 2009, and she has performed about 5,000 surgeries in that time.

“The need for shelters and the number of strays, homeless and abandoned animals is an out-of-control problem,” she said. “If people would spay and neuter their animals, we could cut down on this problem.”

She said people choose to not spay or neuter their pets for many reasons.

“Part of it is costs, probably part of it is lack of knowledge, knowing that you can do it or knowing that there are facilities available for doing it,” she said.

“Sometimes, too, there’s a misunderstanding as to

why its important.”

Creese said it costs roughly $25 a day to house and feed each animal, and the shelter’s costs rise during the winter to heat the five buildings that house the animals.

She said the shelter primarily runs on donations.

Lora Jackson, the manager at Southern Illinois Humane Society in Murphysboro, said her shelter also runs on donations, but is an open-access facility,

meaning they take all animals given to them.

“We’re a housing facility for animal control, so we accept everything that’s brought to us, whether it’s a stray or it’s a pet someone’s had for years,” she said.

“If it’s a stray we hold them for seven to 10 days, depending on the circumstance, and we try to find an owner.”

Jackson said there are 14 dogs and 20 cats in the

Facts students should know about ISIS Josh Murray

@JDMurray_DE | Daily Egyptian

Following the killing of two American journalists, a discussion to inform students and community members on the militant group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria was held at Lesar Auditorium in the Law School on Wednesday night.

In August, ISIS posted a YouTube video showing the decapitation of U.S. journalist James Foley. Since Foley’s execution, ISIS has executed three other Westerners, including U.S. journalist Stephen Sotloff.

ISIS was formed more than 10 years ago and gained international attention

earlier this year after seizing the Iraqi city of Mosul in June. ISIS continued to gain international attention as they seized several other major cities in Iraq and Syria.

The panel included: Hazar Abil Samin, a political science Ph.D candidate; Janice Jacobs, a former U.S. ambassador and assistant secretary of state for consular affairs; Cindy Buys, professor of law; Virginia Tilley, professor and chairwomen of the Department of Political Science; and Hale Yilmaz, associate professor of history.

Here are eight facts students need to know about the terrorist group.

ISIS or ISIL? – From world leaders to

shelter’s adoption program. She said there is about the same amount of space for stray animals not in the adoption program.

“The shelters that don’t euthanize can be selective with what they take,” she said. “We are here for everything and anything that needs a place to go, and that includes animals that aren’t very friendly or are injured.”

members of the media, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have been used interchangeably when referring to the group.

Jackson said the decision to euthanize animals is usually based on the amount of open space at the shelter and temperament of the animal.

She said the shelter does not make the number of euthanized pets public, but it varies greatly.

“We have about 200 animals that come in a month,” she said. “It really depends on the month, and how many other shelters are taking animals from us as to how many animals we euthanize.”

Jackson said in the winter the number of animals in the shelter drops.

“As it gets colder, we notice a decrease

Langowski also discussed the economic viability of the ideas for downtown. He said the Liquor Advisory Board is in the process of letting sidewalk cafes allow liquor consumption outdoors.

“There are places in the downtown that we could put up a sidewalk cafe tomorrow morning,” he said. “But there are issues associated with sidewalk cafes; how we move through them and make them accessible for disabled community.”

Langowski said the board is still in the beginning process of considering liquor to be served outdoors.

“It’s under consideration,” he said.

“That’s a big step forward. … They

generally with the amount of animals that come in,” she said. “A lot of that has to do with litters. A lot of cats have litters in the summertime, but we do have some litters of puppies in the fall.”

Jackson said it is important for pets to be fixed, and the shelter began the Pennies for Pets program, funded by donations and grants, in the 1990s to help pet owners combat veterinary costs.

“It is a voucher program where the member of the public pays $35 and we pay $35 and they get a coupon where they can get a pet fixed at a local veterinarian that accepts that coupon,” she said.

Jackson said issues other than overpopulation also affect animal safety.

She said cats particularly like to hide beneath cars for warmth. She suggests knocking on the hood to save them from possible accidents.

“We always support bringing them inside,” she said. “I would say just don’t forget about them. Make sure that they’re comfortable. They’re a part of your family.”

Jackson said Animal Control ensures housing laws for pets are being followed year round. She said it also has a doghouse adoption program to help citizens provide adequate shelter for their pets.

“There’s no excuse for an animal to be out in a cage or out without any protection,” she said. “Under a tree is not protection enough in my judgment.”

would have never brought it up had it not been for us pushing it forward, so we’re making some progress.”

Elaine Ramseyer, a committee member, said many areas downtown have changed in the past, including Illinois Avenue, the Varsity Center for the Arts and Holden Hospital, which is now Old National Bank.

She said some of the aspects of the past, such as trees and green space, should be considered in downtown renovations.

Mayor Don Monty said the addition of trees could be problematic for the city and business owners.

“Everybody wants to line the streets with trees,” he said. “I can’t tell you how many times business owners who come to City Hall demand the trees be cut down.

Why? Because you can’t see their signs.”

Monty said community members need to take civic responsibility into their own hands.

“Far too often in this community the public looks to the city to do everything,” he said. “But the city doesn’t have the money to do everything, and I think as a community, our members have to be willing to step up to the plate and do things.”

The final Downtown Advisory Committee meeting of the year concerning any subjects that were missed during previous discussions will be at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall on Dec. 3.

Students from an advanced architecture course will present their project on revitalizing downtown Carbondale before the meeting from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Keeping pot illegal is pointless Sean Phee

Daily Egyptian

There is a way for the United States to make billions of dollars in revenue and reduce drug arrests by more than half.

This can be done by legalizing recreational marijuana use. Four states and the District of Columbia have already decided to do it and benefits from legalization can already be seen.

Alaska, Oregon and Washington D.C. voted to legalize the use of recreational marijuana on Nov. 4.

Colorado and Washington voted to legalize recreational marijuana in 2012.

While it’s still illegal on the federal level, Attorney General Eric Holder told the governors of Colorado and Washington last year the Department of Justice would let the new state laws on cannabis go into effect.

Holder is letting the states experiment.

Hopefully this will show people that keeping marijuana illegal does more harm than good.

In August of 2013, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon and CNN’s chief medical correspondent, wrote an article titled, “Why I Changed My Mind on Pot,” in which he claimed that the American people have been systematically misled about marijuana for 70 years.

Gupta said marijuana addiction occurs in 9 to 10 percent of users while smoking tobacco causes addiction in 30 percent of users. Gupta also said in the article that he could not find one recorded death from marijuana overdose.

He said the reason marijuana is illegal is that its effects were not very well understood when it was outlawed. Gupta claims that marijuana may be less harmful than other substances, such as cigarettes and alcohol.

Five million people die worldwide each year because of tobacco smoke, and 88,000 have alcohol related deaths in the U.S. every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Half a million people also die every year from heart disease, according to the CDC, but no one is proposing a ban on French fries.

Legalizing marijuana also has economic benefits.

Kevin Sylwester, an associate professor of economics, said taxing cannabis can help a state’s economy.

“One can look at Colorado or other states that legalized marijuana to see to what extent tax revenue went up,” Sylwester said.

The Denver Post reported that Colorado made $12.6 million in tax revenue from recreational marijuana in the first three months after legalization.

The legislatures for Washington and Colorado estimate marijuana sales could generate more than $800 million in revenue between the two states by 2020, according to an article published in September by The Washington Post.

“The influence can be felt more currently,” said Benjamin Bricker, an assistant professor of political science. “People come from out of state to use marijuana in Colorado and Washington and spend a lot of money.

That’s going to decline as more states legalize it.”

He also said legalizing marijuana can decrease a state’s prison population.

“There is a large number of people in jail for drug crimes,” Bricker said.

“Legalization should have a significant impact on prison population.”

Bricker said reducing the prison population can save money for states that legalize marijuana.

The United States has the world’s largest prison population, and it has increased 70 percent since 1970, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Holder said this is because of long prison sentences for nonviolent drug crimes.

In 2010, 52 percent of all drug arrests were for marijuana, according to the ACLU. Do we really want to make criminals out of people for using a substance as harmless as marijuana?

Support for the legalization is growing in Illinois, according to the Huffington Post. Several state representatives including Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago), Christian Mitchell (D-Chicago) and Mike Zalewski (D-Riverside) called for a task force to examine the impact that legalization would have on the state.

Medical marijuana became legal in Illinois earlier this year.

Twenty-three states have legalized medical marijuana and many medical organizations support medical legalization, including the American Public Health Association, the American Nurses Association, the American Cancer Society, the New England Journal of Medicine and the American Medical Association, according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Marijuana can help treat many diseases and ease the pain of several conditions, according to Gupta. While marijuana does have negative side effects, Gupta said the benefits outweigh the risks for many patients.

Some negative side effects of heavy marijuana use are slowed reaction time, paranoia, forgetfulness, anxiety and possible lung problems, according to WebMD. The main opponents to legalizing marijuana are police unions and big pharmaceutical companies, according to a Business Insider article from July.

According to the article, pharmaceutical companies are worried about marijuana replacing painkillers such as Vicodin and Oxycontin.

One person dies every 19 minutes because of prescription drug overdose, according to Gupta.

Police departments depend on funding from the war on drugs, so they support harsher penalties for marijuana, according to Business Insider.

Thirty-eight percent of Americans have tried marijuana, according to a 2013 Gallup poll. Another 2013 Gallup poll showed that support for recreational marijuana use is up to 58 percent, which is the highest it has ever been.

In 1969, the poll shows, support for legalization was at 12 percent.

Younger people tend to support legalization the most. Sixty-seven percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 supported legalization in 2013, compared to 45 percent of Americans that are 65 and older.

Keeping marijuana illegal imprisons people who are not harmful to society and wastes money. The benefits of legalization far outweigh the costs.

‘Toil and Rubble’ shows unique post-apocalyptic perspectives Chase Myers

@ChaseMyers_DE | Daily Egyptian

Depicting the ‘end of days’ through performance has been done many ways with many angles. The movie “I Am Legend” depicted it as a virus fallout and its aftermath, where as movies in “The Matrix” Trilogy depict it as a machine takeover that has sparked an ongoing war between man and machine.

Lindsey Greer, a graduate student from Clare, Mich., studying performance, has created her own performance piece featuring a unique set of perspectives on the apocalypse.

The production, titled “Toil and Rubble: Media in Ruin,” was co-directed

by Greer and Craig Gingrich-Philbrook and will premier at 8 p.m. on Thursday with following shows at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The show is about three different personas: a Girl Scout named Lucy, who lives in an abandoned library in Detroit, a dream editor named Ida and a spiritual medium named Lucita Foxx, who communicates with the ghosts of dead media.

Greer said these characters came to her at different times in life and she will perform “Toil and Rubble” as a solo piece, meaning Greer will play each separate character herself.

“Plenty of people have done [solo performances] with like one character and it’s been phenomenal, but with me I just like working with multiple characters …

I wouldn’t want to be the same person the entire time,” she said.

Greer said the show plays with the apocalyptic and dystopian society themes and uses tones that are broadly surrealist.

“The show deals a lot with memory and materiality and also apocalyptic themes,” she said.

The production also focuses on the reemergence of old media outlets and relates to people as a whole being constantly updated with new technologies.

“I think it’s a lot about the human impulse, like to be creative and survive and have a sense of self,” she said. “We’re so small, but we still figure out a way to create and for our lives to have significance.”

Greer worked very close with codirector and “co-voice” Craig GingrichPhilbrook during rehearsal.

“I really enjoy helping her bring the world that she has in her mind out on the stage,” Gingrich-Philbrook said.

The script was written prior to the actual in-theatre rehearsal process, but it is left open to allow Greer freedom of expression throughout the performance.

“Its an open performance style,” Gingrich-Philbrook said. “It is certainly

scripted, but there is also a kind of subtle improvisational aspect to it that we’ve worked to develop over the rehearsal process.

Both Greer and Gingrich-Philbrook have directed in the past, but the two also have a very similar sense of humor, so it is much easier to work together, he said.

“It has certainly been a trouble-free collaboration,” he said.

The Kleinau is known for having performances that fit well with the aesthetic of the theatre, and “Toil and Rubble” is no exception.

“All three of the characters work in open focus, which means that the character is aware of the audience and is speaking to the audience,” he said. “One of the things that the Kleinau really allows is for that kind of intimacy, so Lindsey is definitely making work that is keeping with the space.”

The Kleinau may just be the beginning for the actual production as Greer will perform it beyond this week’s shows.

“We’re going to the Patti Pace Performance Festival in February and I’m looking for other venues beyond that,” Greer said.

Greer is looking to travel around with the show and hopefully present her unique post-apocalyptic perspectives to various crowds.

Studying while shelving

N ick G aliNdo d aily E GyptiaN Maira Gimenes, a graduate student studying workforce education and development from São Paulo, shelves books in Morris Library on Wednesday. “I came here to study and just ended up staying,” Gimenes said. “I like working in the library. I’m able to work, study and help other people to get their work done.”

One-man jam-band Keller Williams returns to Copper Dragon after two-year absence Kyle Sutton

@KyleSutton_DE | Daily Egyptian

It has been more than two years since loop aficionado and one-man jam band Keller Williams last visited Carbondale.

The date was April 28, 2012.

Copper Dragon was packed and the atmosphere was alive within the venue as Williams danced around stage in an energized fury.

Williams makes his long-awaited return to Copper Dragon this Friday at 10 p.m.

Williams continues to be one of the hardest working people in show business. Beyond his solo act, he leases his talents to several other projects of all different musical genres. His hard work makes him a must-have act on the bill for most jam-band music festivals.

He first got his start in the early 1990s with the release of his debut album “Freek,” coming in 1994. Since then, Williams has taken the music scene by storm, producing an album almost every year, predominately through SCI Fidelity Records – an independently owned record label out of Boulder, Colo., owned and operated by Williams’ close friends and nationally touring jam band The String Cheese Incident.

The two titans within the jam band community have built a lasting relationship over the years in Colorado, with their first collaboration, “Breathe,” coming in 1999 under the name Keller Williams Incident.

Since, members of SCI have sat in on some of Williams’ side projects, such as Grateful Grass, which is an all-star collaboration of musicians who play bluegrass covers of Grateful Dead originals.

Some of his other projects include sitins with Larry and Jenny Keel, dubbed Keller and the Keels (bluegrass), The Travelin’ McCourys (bluegrass) and Keller Williams with More Than a Little (funk), just to name a few.

In a career spanning more than 20 years, Williams has crossed about every boundary there is in the music industry, even trying his hand at children’s music with the 2010 release of “Kids.”

His solo act redefines the meaning of a singer-songwriter. ADM or acoustic dance music is an interesting change from your average folk singer strumming along with only a guitar.

Williams spoke with the Daily Egyptian before his return to Carbondale to discuss ADM, his relationship with SCI, his beginnings in music and how his influences have changed over time.

DAILY EGYPTIAN: What is ADM? KELLER WILLIAMS: It’s a bit of joke really. Acoustic guitar mentality and then kind of looping drum beats with acoustic music on top. It’s just a bit of a fun little direction to go in mentally. What ADM is to me is a mental attitude with acoustic music.

DE: How have your influences changed over time?

KW: Opposites attract for me somehow.

I find myself in a lot of situations of acoustic music, bluegrass, sit-ins, trading solos and harmonizing. And then when I go to actually listen to something, I find myself dialing up super electronica, kind of super funky dupstep. There’s a channel I really like on Rhapsody called Acid Jazz, which is kind of taking a jazz approach to electronica. Electronica has so many different sub-genres and there are so many different styles of dance music right now. I guess my influences have changed in the sense of technology and energy. The more energy involved in the delivery and attitude of the music, the more I’m attracted to it.

DE: When would you say you first got involved in music?

KW: My first recollection was “Hee Haw,” which was a show on television with Buck Owens and Roy Clark. I guess I was three and that came on once a week. I was always singing and dancing and pretending to direct from an early age. Even before I was playing music, I was pretending to play it.

DE: All of your album titles are one-syllable words. Is there a reason behind that?

KW: It started from the first record, you know of trying to come up with one-syllable

description of the compilation of tunes that is this record. The idea is to describe with one-syllable a word that sticks out when listening to this entire compilation of tunes.

DE: What attracts you about the jamband community?

KW: I think just the open-mindedness and the acceptance of improvisation and the way there is no singular genre. The jam-band fans like it all. They like country and western. They like bluegrass. They like punk rock. They like metal. They like hiphop. They like trance and dubstep. Just little bits of each one mixed into everything is how they like it, and I like them for that.

DE: Could you describe your songwriting process?

KW: Well, it’s different. Different songs call for a different message. Some songs, believe it or not, just appear in the form of a chorus. Once I have that chorus, then I’ll start basing verses around that chorus. Other times, I’ll give myself a writing assignment where I would create a character and take that character on an adventure and write about the journeys and bring it back full circle…Then there’s the spur of the moment, stream of conscious.

There is definitely a lot of that in my song writing and some of the songs it is straight out, burped out stream of conscious…But it usually starts with the hook or chorus.

DE: Could you explain your relationship with the guys from The String Cheese Incident?

KW: I saw them for the first time in 1995 in a small bar in Telluride, Colo. They were a four-piece [band] at the time, and they were all acoustic. Michael Travis was the one drummer and he was going back and forth playing percussion and drums at the same time. They were jumping around from salsa, to bluegrass, to jazz, to funk, to reggae, all just spinning around and I was really into it. Then I started to go see them in different mountain towns in 1995 and finally met them. I think I opened for them for the first time in the winter of 1996. Between 1997 and 2000, I probably opened up for them 100 times around the country. They, at that time, took me out of

P rovided P hoto

these little restaurants I was playing in and put me in front of wider audience. They definitely gave me the exposure I needed.

DE: So, when you were picking out the members for Grateful Grass, how did you decide on the musicians you wanted to play with?

KW: (In February 2006) I was playing The Fillmore in Denver, which is this huge cavernous place and I was like “Let’s do something different. Let’s try to bring some of my friends that live in that area, Jeff Austin (formerly of Yonder Mountain String Band) and Keith Moseley (SCI).”

They were both living in that area at the

time and were both off. I sent them a CD of my arrangements of like 14 Grateful Dead songs and they learned them and we ran them during the day. Then we played the show that night, recorded it and released it as the first Grateful Grass release called “Rex,” and that’s what the money goes to benefit. So that’s how it started. Real easy, real simple. We didn’t really revisit it again until this past year and got so much response from it that even when Jeff or Keith couldn’t make it, there were a lot of other folks, good friends of mine, that know the music that were willing to step in and fill in for those guys.

Saluki softball Scrimmaging for spring inks five players for 2015-16 Tony McDaniel

@TonyMcDanielDE | Daily Egyptian

SIU softball has reloaded for the 2015-16 season in several key positions.

The Salukis signed five players Wednesday — two pitchers, two outfielders and a third baseman.

Coach Kerri Blaylock said her five signings will fill the void left by five seniors who run out of eligibility at the end of the 2015 season.

“We signed two pitchers to replace the two that we’re losing,” she said. “We signed two outfielders and one kid that can play infield and outfield. Our two outfielders replace Kalyn [Harker] and Meredith [Wilson] and the one combo kid replaces Kara [Kimball].”

Statistically speaking, the two most impressive signees are outfielder Eyrika Brandenburg from Mooreland, Okla. and pitcher Nicole Doyle from Aurora, Ohio.

Brandenburg is a career .550 hitter at Mooreland High School. She also has 108 RBIs and 40 doubles. The outfielder has only struck out six times at the high school level. She holds records in 17 single-season and career categories at Mooreland.

Brandenburg will join junior utility player Caylee Cook as the only Oklahomans on the roster.

Luke Thompson, the softball coach at Moreland, said he might never coach another player like Brandenburg.

“At some point in your coaching career you’re going to have that player you say, ‘This is the best player

I’ve ever coached and you ever will coach,’” Thompson said. “That’s my girl right now. She is the best player I’ve ever coached.”

Doyle is 28-4 in her career at Aurora High School. She had a miniscule 0.20 ERA in 2013. In her career she has six no hitters and 390 strikeouts.

Not only is Doyle an accomplished pitcher, she also has success in the batter’s box. She hit .408 with 8 doubles and 23 RBIs last season.

Blaylock said she does not plan to use Doyle as a hitter right away.

“She’s a really, really good pitcher, so I told her if she’s one of the best nine I’ll let her hit, but she’s going to have to be one of the best nine,” she said. “We don’t want her to get hurt.”

SIU also signed Brianna Jones, a pitcher form Manchester, Tenn.

Jones has been named All-District three times for Coffee County Central High School. According to MaxPreps. com, Jones has a career 0.63 ERA with 57 wins and 785 strikeouts.

Jones’ coach at Coffee County Central was Terry Floyd. Floyd said Jones will be ready to pitch against Missouri Valley Conference competition right away.

“Coach Blaylock will truly enjoy having Brianna as part of the pitching staff,” he said. “Brianna is a team player and she’s good. She can throw in the mid-’60s pretty consistently. She’s a leader by example.”

Salukis open season talented but untested Posted up with

Tyler Davis In coach Barry Hinson’s third season, he finally has a team full of players he recruited and fit his style of coaching. It has given him a lot of measured optimism after two wins to open the season.

SIU men’s basketball is preparing for its first game against a Division I opponent after it thrashed a couple teams in lower divisions. The team manhandled the University of St. Mary, which plays in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, by nearly 40 points to open the exhibition season. Then the Salukis smothered Division II Southwest Baptist University 79-63 on Nov. 1.

Hinson has played his freshmen extensively through the first two games. Freshman guard Deion Lavender started against SW Baptist and played 27 minutes — the second most on the team.

SIU has six freshmen and three sophomores and only four upperclassmen, which makes

them the youngest team in the Missouri Valley Conference. Some underclassmen have received starters’ minutes and all have appeared in both games, giving the youngsters experience.

That experience against easier competition will help against perennial NCAA-tournament contender, St. Louis University. The Billikens have made the big dance each of the last three seasons.

With eight freshmen, they also boast a young squad; 13 of their 17 players are underclassmen.

The big question, as Hinson said on media day, will be the maturity of his players. In the limited time they’ve been together, the SIU freshmen have made good passes, been engaged on defense and taken good shots, especially forward Jordan Caroline.

Fellow freshman Chaz Glotta has shown an ability to make threepointers but also a propensity to take some ill-advised shots. Hinson said he loves Glotta’s confidence, but shot selection is going to be important for the guard. He leads the team with 14 three-point attempts.

Football runs in the family for five Salukis Thomas Donley

@tdonleyde | Daily Egyptian

Football runs in the family for five Saluki players.

Senior running back Malcolm Agnew’s father Ray Agnew, Jr. played defensive tackle for 11 years in the NFL. Ray Jr. played for the New England Patriots, New York Giants and St. Louis Rams, with which he won Super Bowl XXXIV. He is now a scout for the Rams.

Malcolm’s brother, Ray Agnew III, played fullback at SIU and recently re-signed with the Cleveland Browns after being released on Oct. 20.

Malcolm said his passion for the game developed when his father played for the Rams. Malcolm’s first experiences around the game were with the likes of Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt. Being around professional talent at such a young age made him love the professional game.

“That’s always been my dream, to play in the National Football League,” Malcolm said. “Growing up around the game only made me want to do that more. I was motivated by what my father did and how hard he worked for me and my family. It just makes me want to do more and make it to the league.”

Freshman safety Ryan Neal’s brother Mike Neal plays linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. Mike Neal won a Super Bowl ring with Green Bay in 2011. Middle brother Matthew Neal is a sophomore defensive end at Idaho.

Ryan Neal’s father, Michael, introduced him and his brothers to

sports but didn’t push them toward any one in particular.

He said he and his brothers grew up competing with each other and broke each other’s records at Merrillville High School in Merrillville, Ind. “We always set goals for each other,” Ryan Neal said. “Growing up, we were always very competitive. We were always trying to see who could outdo each other in high school. It was just kind of a fun thing to do.”

Mike Neal is second on the Merrillville’s all-time leaderboard with 17 career sacks. Ryan Neal is tied for second in single-season interceptions, with 9 in 2012.

Ryan Neal said his brother’s NFL success offers him a unique viewpoint on the game.

“It’s a cool experience because he gives me a little bit of knowledge and makes me wiser as I go through college,” Ryan said. “I know stuff a lot of my kids my age don’t know.”

Senior running back Ken Malcome has three cousins with NFL experience. His cousin Patrick Pass played eight seasons in the league, the first seven with New England, winning three championships during that span.

Another of Malcome’s cousins, Dwayne Harris, is a wide receiver in his fourth season with the Dallas Cowboys.

Quanterus Smith, Malcome’s third cousin, plays defensive end for the Denver Broncos and is in his second NFL season. Smith attended Western Kentucky.

Malcome said football is a valuable

tradition in his family.

“I feel like it’s what all my family’s been doing forever,” Malcome said.

“We all play sports. I feel like I’m a person who can avoid being a statistic for the rest of my family and hopefully do the same thing Dwayne and Patrick did.”

Sophomore outside linebacker Leonard Garron’s uncle Tony Galbreath was a running back who played 12 seasons for the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants.

Garron said his uncle’s triumphs inspire him to work toward his goals.

“He wasn’t the most athletic when he was younger, and I feel like I might not be the most athletic,” Garron said. “It gives me extra motivation to work hard and maybe get there one day.”

Senior defensive end Adam Brandt’s grandfather, John Brandt, was a member of the original Buffalo Bills in 1946. John joined the Bills as a rookie offensive tackle out of Marquette.

SIU recruiting coordinator David Elson said the Saluki coaches do not seek out players who have family with NFL experience. However, once they find out a recruit has relatives who played professionally, that does factor into their decision of whether to offer a scholarship.

“The positive thing that I’ve seen from guys that have that person in their life, (they) just seem to typically understand the process a little bit better of what goes into becoming that level of player,” Elson said.
