IMO, Cox has the ability to take the position to another level. I LOVE JAY!! (I share his name for God's sake) But Cox is a better athlete. He has played QB for them.

Warfarer's post came across as he was only looking at a 1 dimensional freak in physicality at the 3 Back or FB ala Jayggernaut Prosh and Bam Bam Johnson. As you and Spark point out you can be just as effective if not more so by doing physical work and other things important to the offense.


That wasn't my intent at all. I loved what Eric Smith brought to the table in the h-back role. i meant that if Cox can be a blocker and be satisfied with that and work his arse off to become an amazing blocker to open lanes. A guy that can get out and put a helmet on a linebacker and move him out of the way is exactly what we need.

SIAP, per Ryan Bartow at 24/7, Ohio State could have potentially eliminated themselves from the race for Torrance Gibson with the commitment of 4* QB Joe Burrow.

Was OSU a heavy player for him anyway? I thought Tennessee was the team to beat?

They were considered AU's nearest threat other than UT, but yes the indication is still UT #1 and AU #2 for now....he is planning to visit BCW next weekend

OSU was the favorite until UT came out of no where.

The QB carosel will be interesting to watch. There's that tidbit above. Then you have Deondre Francois commiting at The Opening in July. If DF chooses FSU then AU looks to be the immediate favorite for Kai Locksley. His top 2 now are AU and FSU and he plans to commit at his first game. Gibson does not plan to commit til after his Senior season.

tOSU and Tennessee were the frontrunners for a long time. UT was in the mix before AU.

Locksley won't go play for his dad?

I like KL better than Gibson.

I like KL better than Gibson.
1. His dad may not be at Maryland come NSD 2015.
2. His dad is pushing Kai to do what's best for Kai and not just settle on Maryland.
3. Info out now suggests Kai is looking out of state.

I like Kai better than TG as a QB prospect also.

Would much rather have Kai than Gibson. Like his QB skillset much better.

Per FSU 247 Kai may be looking to move up his commit date to late June. There may be a race between Kai and Deondre to get the FSU QB spot.

Per tOSU 247, with Burrow committed to the Bucks the only way they take a 2nd QB is Gibson. One tOSU 247 reporter said he would be shocked if TG ended up at tOSU now FWIW.

Keith CBed Javon Patterson to AU tonight and gave notes why he made that pick

-Source in Mississippi says JP is talking up AU the most
-Expeected at BCW which would be trip #4 to AU
-likes Grimes a lot
-His HS coaches have a good relationship with the AU staff
-AU-Ole Miss battle with both having good shot
-Miss St 3rd
-JP may visit AU a 5th time this Summer
-AU staff likes JP at OG but liked him at OT at 1 time
-KN will ask around and see how AU taking JP would affect other prospects

If he's arrogant enough to think a school like Auburn will wait that long on him, he's not too bright. If he doesn't commit within a month or so, he'll be forced to go to Tennessee whether he wants it or not. Unless he opens things back up.

Patterson is one guy that I absolutely feel could be a DT or OL.
