We gotta get the ball in Callaway's and Byrd's hands as much as possible.

I have a hard to seeing Gaulden not starting at nickel. Todd Kelly would be over Abernathy imo

Oline has a ton of potential lineups and no excuses not to be good
Richmond Robertson Thomas Smith Kendrick
Would be my guess

It wont happen but I would love to see Kirkland slide over to will and see if Bituli can handle the middle.

Thomas will not be starting. Tatum/Jones will determine who that 5th starter on the o-line is.

Don't think TK is going to start based on what I've heard but we will see.

I think Moseley/Gaulden will be one of the closer battles of the spring. Wiggins and Martin seem to have locked down the outside.

Surprised on Tatum. Thought he still needed some time in the weight room.

I'll be shocked if TKjr doesn't start somewhere. His weight loss should help him a great deal. He lost speed last year.

I don't think TKjr has the natural talent of the other safeties, but I have him starting based purely on experience. I did see where he lost weight and I think that was the right move.

The reports were extremely positive on Martin and Warrior so hopefully they can be to dependable pieces. Would also like to see Gaulden get a look in a traditional SS role and keep everything in front of him, let him read and react.

Is your reason for having McKenzie ahead of Tuttle because of his injury? If healthy I think Tuttle starts over him. Really excited for what Vickers can do. Also I think you could move around some of the guys on secondary as well but that's anyone's game.

We may not know until the 2nd week of the season...because we should damn well stick to the base 4-3 against Tech.

Posted this on SECR but Richmond/Jones/Robertson/Smith/Kendrick is going to be your 5 up front.

Tatum to RT and Kendrick plugging the hole if a 6th is needed.

I like it. What's up with Hall? Is a redshirt on the table for him?

Expect Tim Jordan to get some quality reps at RB. I could see Chandler taking a RS.

You think Chandler takes a RS? Hearing good things about Jordan but I was thinking Chandler would be good to go by the time the season starts.

I think Chandler will see the field fairly often this season

Chandler will be fine. He's just a little smaller than most would like. Hope he gains about 5 pounds before the season starts which isn't unreasonable. To be fair though his listed weight is higher than CFA and one of the others - he just looks lighter than he actually is and has a good frame to fill out. Tim Jordan has the body though to carve out a role early if he keeps impressing (already built like an upperclassman).

Palmer is making serious noise at WR.

In the short practice videos Palmer looks like one of the better receivers. The overall talent of the wr group is looking pretty good. Chandler should be able to gain weight faster now that he isn't running track anymore. Jordan was the lowest rated recruit in the whole class and a late add, I am pulling for him.
