Lock - I don't think so. GP will stay with MM unless it gets absolutely ugly, which means we've probably already lost 4 or more games, in which case he'll probably stick with Prints and/or Berk instead of burning a redshirt on a 4 loss season.

Yeh, don't expect Lock to get in this year. Berk, Printz would be the option there.

Doherty - Not at RB. If he switches positions, maybe. But with Hansbrough, Steward, Witter and Walters there already, I don't see them burning it.

Agreed

Williams - Nope.

No

Smith - I love his height and potential but I think they'll redshirt him to polish him more before relying on him.

Total mystery why this kid didn't get pursued by more big schools. Glad we got him. I think Georgia was creeping into the picture at the last. I could see him playing this year. I watched the film on him and it had DGB all over it. I can't understand why he was not more highly rated. There must be something there but I didn't see it myself. I'm no expert but he has all the physical abilities right now. If he can pick up a few plays well, I could see him contributing.

Hall - I think he's a bit more mature as a WR and think he will play as a true freshman.

Not sure. Watched his film and he has some wheels. He outran his QB's arm several times which is good when you have Mauk as your QB.

Floyd - One of the slot guys will play. At least 1. Seems the staff were highest on Floyd, though I really like Johnson.

I'm with you on Johnson. I can actually see him playing this year. I noticed one or two things with him. First, this kid was in a class all by himself. He was clearly the best player on the field. Not even a close second place runner up. Once he gets a head of steam, you're not going to catch him. He's fast! Second, he has a lot of swag on the field. Some of that may be due to being the best player on the field. I hope it doesn't bite him at the next level. Kind of reminds me a little of Maclin. He seems to have that fifth gear.

Johnson - Don't think so.

I say possible. Return man.

Harris - No. Lots of depth on the line.

Agreed

Owens - No.

agreed

Jacobs - No.

Agreed

Howard - No.

As much as I'd like to see him play this year, I have to agree with you. Probably next year. I really like this kid.

Beckner - Yes.

Agreed, no brainer.

Hall - No. In other years, yes. Not needed this time.

Agreed

Agbamisere - No.

Agreed

Hilton - No. Return a lot in the backfield.

Agreed

Perkins - No.

Agreed

Warren - No.

Agreed

Fatony - Yes.

Um, no. Well hell yes! I'm looking forward to not melting when the kicking team trots onto the feild.

It's mainly because he didn't do all the camps and combines and did the AAU circuit instead. Since he didn't do camps, he didn't get the stars. Since he didn't get the stars, he didn't get the looks by the bigger names. Thank goodness GP doesn't rely on stars and found him.

Having said that, he hasn't focused on football until recently. Which is scary considering how talented he already is. However, because of that, I think he can be that much better and benefit that much more from a year of doing nothing but football. If he plays though, I couldn't be happier.
