As rankings stand now, best case is #2 and worst case is #10.

Not sure if kidding but a guy who can press 585 2 times has well developed tris no matter how they look. Tris are the primary arm mover in the bench press.

Good vine on twitter of Daylong Mack destroying Tyler Carr. Terry Godwin 1 handed leaping td grab this morning. Allie says KJ has looked very sharp running routes and catching everything thrown to him. Also said Ro Smith has been very impr3ssive.

My bad guys. I obviously read tris instead of traps...and I know the difference between the 2 GC.

Not good since Mack sut down his recruitment and we have to play against him the next 3 or 4 years. Carr was the #4 OL on Day 1.

#2 RB on Day 1 after Taj Griffin.

These one on ones favor the DLs... I think carr could be a very good college guard... he's just gotta realize OT probably isn't his future.

Ellitor, I figured but it is always fun to give you a hard time since you dominate us in AU knowledge 99% of the time

As Lowspark points out, OL is at a huge disadvantage without pads. Also, Mack is at a size disadvantage due to the small frame. I think he will be good but his ceiling is only so high. Guy like him with a low center of gravity and developed early dominates now but they often times aren't the elite DTs 3-4 years from now.

Carr likely will be good but I see Williams, Jauntavious Johnson and Javon Patterson being the better prospects

Kerryon Johnson seems to be legit and a Reggie bush type RB that will be a huge threat due to the different dimensions of his game. I'd love to have what the lions have thunder and lightening wise with Joque Bell and Bush (Kerryon and whoever else)


I will say I have concerns/anxiety due to Gus' offense. Tre is showing off some serious receiving skills out of the backfield in St Louis from what I have read yet he wasn't utilized heavily as a receiver. Obviously we didn't have to but it still is an unknown

Per Allie D:

Allie_Davison: #Auburn commit Kerryon Johnson wins Most Valuable Running Back for the Rivals100 Five-star Challenge presented by Under Armour.

Good to hear, so much for people thinking he's a better safety (which still could be true) but he seems like a great RB.

Kiffin was speaking the truth from the sound of it. I am talking more NFL Bush where he basically plays a receiver who lines up in the backfield given some rushing duties.

At USC he was more RB who caught out of the backfield

Glad we have double confirmation when Allie Davidson info gets related here. Solid chance it isn't reliable

Only recruiting him at DT. Not apart of OL discussion.

Remember, Alabama wanted TJ Yeldon as a safety through a lot of the process, and then finally started recruiting him as a running back like they should have. I don't know where Kerryon Johnson will eventually play, but he has the skill set for both and will make a great player either way.

I never saw him as a RB (as in thought He was better at S) till this route running info came out. In today's game a RB who can receive out of the backfield changes the game

Hopefully our next QB can hit a RB out of the backfield. Always wondered if that is why Malzahn doesn't have NM throw it to Tre often

who is the last quarterback we had that could actually consistently hit those running back dump passes? I remember Campbell could a little better than half the time but would throw some of them wildly awful. I don't remember Cox throwing a lot of the dump passes.
