re: Which of your commits/signees will crack the 2-deep or start

No one in the Bama class, sans the JUCO guys, will crack the two deep until late in the season.

Tony Brown has a chance to make it earlier than anyone else, but that's about it.

I see a bunch of redshirts in the future for the Bama Class of 2014.

anyone on campus for spring that are new croots have a shot to break into the PT.

Dee Liner got playing time this year. Granted it was only 2 plays, but it was playing time. That's not starting or cracking the two deep.

We still have a handful of kids who are going to be processed to make way for an incoming class of 25-28.

We don't have any that play the same positions as the kids we are bringing in for this class.

NOw breaking into the 2 deep may be hard to do but I think TB has the biggest chance and any JUCO OL

Again, other than the JUCOs I don't see anyone breaking the two deep unless it is late in the season.

RB Hurd-Backup
WR Malone-Starter / Backup
WR Pearson-Starter / Backup
TE Helm/Wolf-One will start, other will be #2
LT Blair-Starter
RT Thomas-Starter / Backup
DE Hendrix-Possible Backup
NT Williams-Backup
LB Bates-Starter / Backup
LB Johnson-Possible Backup
LB Bryant-Possible Backup
LB Weatherd-Backup
S Kelly, Jr.-Starter / Backup
S McDowell-Backup

Safety CJ Hampton (deep at position but he's too good to keep off the field)

DE Marquis Haynes (rotated in on passing downs)

OG Fahn Cooper might start, will play

OG Rod Taylor same thing as Cooper

ATH Jeremy Liggins won't start at any position but he could see time at three of them

LB Christian Russell will play at MLB when DT is on the sideline or with his hand in the dirt

WR Markell Pack will be behind Treadwell, Sanders and QA but will get a lot of snaps with Moncrief gone

DE Breeland Speaks will play two spots along the line and will see more playing time as the season progresses

DE Garrald McDowell will see lots of early time

CB Kendarius Webster may start a game or two if he matures quickly like some of the freshmen last year

TE Sammie Epps will be the second TE after Engram

DE Victor Evans will be in on passing downs and may see time at LB
The rest will see a minimal snaps, special teams play or just a redshirt.

It's possible then. That's a lot of inexperience in your secondary. Fortunately for you guys, your first few opponents should pose no threat.

CB Nick Ruffin- may crack 2 deep

I personally think he's got the best chance of all freshman defensive commits to contribute early and often. He's the most physically ready for his position.

Most of our commitments will in the two deep with several probable starters.

That's right: 7 of the top 10 nationally are SEC teams. Holy cow.

And 10 of the Top 20.

Arky, Mizzou, State, and Vandy bringing up the rear outside of the Top 20.

UFs OL recruits will be given a chance to play early and crack the two deep...any injuries and it will be necessary Im afraid. Don't know if any will start...but like most true frosh...the midway point of the season is usually when the light bulb goes off for the best ones. In 2015 we will have a very greenish OL starting at least two-three spots imo with one years experience. The JUCO ranks will have to be searched hard for help.
