what has he done?


he hasn't done anything to make the news in tuscaloosa, that is a good thing

where are you hearing this from?


... not questioning your info, but I haven't heard anything on him, just curious what happened. He was one of my favorites for that class.


I'm from PCB, know some of his HS coaches and know a lot of people that grew up with eddie. He just doesn't take many things seriously. Every time I was in tuscaloosa this year (all home games) I saw him on the strip. I understand kids are going to go out and have fun, but it validated a few concerns I had about him to see him out galavanting every single time I was there.

Like I said though, if he can buckle down and focus on football, he'll be a first rounder. Dude is a world class athlete, he was a dominant high school player as freshman in 5A florida ball

Looking at next years roster, I am very interested in seeing how Alphonse Taylor matures. Is he an OG or NT? He has e size to replace Jessie.

I really liked Taylor as our next NG, but it looks like it'll be Ivory. Taylor seems to be on a permanent move to OG.

Other than a less experienced o-line, they should be very good. It will be harder to avoid complacency this year.

More people returning tells me that should help avoid complacency.

I think also the position battles should really help as well. Hungry Freshmen (Incoming and Redshirt) will push some of the experienced guys. We have a pretty good mix of Vets and Youngsters.

2010 had almost everyone return and that season was plagued by complacency.

I'm hoping that Ragland doesn't make enough noise for him to cause another three man ILB rotation for the fourth straight year. CJ/Trey alone would frick people up. I like Ragland, but I wanna see two guys go at it.

Also gonna be interesting to see the Fulton/Geno deal. Will Fulton be a base starter and Geno play Star, or Geno be a base starter and slide down to Star while Fulton comes in on the outside?


Also I wanna know if Griffith is gonna kick the FGs ad Foster will do KOs like I think.

I don't see EW beating LC out.



What about beating out Vinnie Sunseri to be the third safety in nickel packages?

Wut? We lost nine starters on defense coming into that year.

Well in Nickel we have a Star, and Geno is likely locking that up. Now as for Money in Dime, I think that'll end up being Jarrick. Though Sunseri may blitz from there.

EW is going to be boom or bust. Top notch athlete, but kind of a shite head. If he can ever channel all of his focus towards football, he'll end up a first rounder

HaHa and Collins will roam the defensive backfield and when Jai Miller is up to speed, he'll be a beast......EW is done

Oh I know he's done. I think we'll only have haha for one more year and jai miller can turn pro whenever he wants to. We'll be fine back there, I'd bet Stewart starts out at safety now

yeah he is insistent on offense but receiver is our deepest position and he might prefer to see the field sooner rather than later. I don't think they'll make him move to defense but he has the best skill set and build for safety of the guys in this class. Averett is certainly a possibility but he's only 180lbs now so he is definitely a corner until he puts on some muscle. We'll bring in 2 safeties this next year with an athlete or two who could translate to safety..........

I hope we push hard for hootie jones from Monroe. He has the potential to be a stud at safety
