I'm not taking Dreamliner's preferred line of hyperbole but with Vernon Hargreaves it's entirely possible one might. He has to be one of the highest rated DBs we've ever recruited, right?

Much like everyone else, if you get the opportunity and take it, you deserve your shot.

I'm not saying it will happen, just that it could

we did not have 3 (maybe 4 with Poole) top corners that year. We had the best secondary in the SEC all season now one game and people think some freshmen are going to come in and take jobs? One guy we absolutely missed last night was Jelani in coverage

Well, think about it. We were probably lucky to have caught TAMU early. Florida fans say Mettenberger is a bum. Shaw was reportedly injured. Murray is also reportedly a bum and he burned us. Then we face a good quarterback, in Bridgewater, and we wind up in fetal position.

Murray burned us? Did you watch that game?

Think some posters just need to step away from posting til the sky stops falling in their minds. Everything will be ok and we will finish with a great class and be preseason top 10 to start next season

Neiron Ball, although I love his story, and think he is a good run stopper, was horrendous in coverage last night against the slot receiver and should not have been out there. He looked like a dog chasing a ball half the tie and the receiver consistently got separation against him

Not many LBers are going to be able to cover a slot WR. TE? Sure. RB? Possibly. That falls on the coaching staff to make an adjustment and put a DB on the slot WR since they ran the same play over and over.

Agree with you. Why even try. A mere exercise of futility. Considering there are 100 db's on the roster

AZ....with the DL prospects visiting before signing day, what are chances of getting both Reed and Bostwick?

I am not to sure. I expect them to push very hard for both now that little Caleb has decommitted. I know Reed has always liked Ole miss but he has two former teammates that will be on campus when he visits. Bostwick like Miami a lot but we are probably 2nd so we have a decent shot if he has the grades.

I am pretty confident we get Walker so we should be ok. Worst case scenario we add another JUCO next year.

Thanks man. Didn't know if getting Walker, Daniel, and Reed leaves Bullard outside or moves him in

I am not sure if they are getting all of those guys but that would be a nice problem to have. I think Bullard would inside and out if we go those 3.

Gator4Christ · 01-03-2013, 08:16 PM

Sure we will

Thanks for the info

Gator4Christ · 01-03-2013, 09:56 PM

Walker and Robinson "announcing" during their respective games this weekend?

You were dead on about Jelani. I didn't realize the void we have in pass coverage without him on the field. Who do you see taking over when he hopefully leaves AFTER '13?

That is a hard question to answer Morrison will more to the middle so not him. The candidates for outside LB will be Neron Ball, Jeremi Powell, McMillian, Matt Rolin, Jarrad Davis and maybe Marcus Maye but I think we keep him in the secondary.

In the end I think it will be Ball Morrison and Powell (has to gain weight in the off season) with McMillan getting playing time but I could see him jumping one of the outside LB's. Not sure who the staff will start in nickle between Powell and Neron because we just haven't seen them play.

True, but I don't hear any waiver. You believe he's still in play? I can understand him wanting to play for USC but for Kiffin? That team is in a deep hole even with incredible talent.
