How is Malzhan going to use Igbinoghene? Jet sweeps? I used to hate when UF would do that shite with Harvin. Its hard to stop when combined with a solid power running game. Auburn did that with Onterio McCalebb in 2010.

I don't know...I'm shocked they are even talking about it. He's made that big of an impression. We have guys with that kind of skill set in Kam Martin and Ryan Davis, and he'd start out somewhere 8-10 on the WR depth chart...but apparently he's been that explosive with the ball in his hands that they are going to find a way to get him touches. They were going to find a way to get JF3 those types of touches (bubble screens, end arounds, quick pitches, special teams) and he's gone so maybe they think he can step into what they envisioned for JF3.

You'd surely say that about Alabama's pass rushers Christian Miller and Terrell Hall aswell, right?

Like has already been posted, Alabama will play quite a few freshman this year, especially on offense. Seems to have been a really good class.

T. Tagovailoa, QB
N. Harris, RB
J. Willis, RT
J. Jeudy, WR
H. Ruggs III, WR
D. Smith, WR

For Arkansas the two most notable ones will be Chase Hayden and Koilan Jackson. Koilan Jackson is the son of Keith Jackson and is proving to be a standout at wide receiver. He had this play in their first scrimmage where he caught a one handed TD over Ryan Pulley (14 pass breakups last season) while Pulley was draped over half his body. One of those guys too good to keep off the field.

Hope he plays ball like his dad. Sounds like he might.

We'll play probably 8-9 freshman, but I can't say any will have a huge role.

Chris Turner a DE from Louisiana is probably the best bet. This kid is a stud. No idea why he didn't have more interest. He'll be in the rotation.

Larry Rountree a RB from NC looks like another diamond in the rough

Sounds for us like a kid from Louisiana, Travis Etienne, is going to get some PT early. Know anything about him?

I think we have a corner from Atlanta, AJ Terrell, who is going to see some time.

And two receivers from Tennessee, Amari Rodgers and Tee Higgins

Forgot to add DE Akial Byers from Arkansas. He's also been impressing in camp.

All the coaches have talked about is how hard he runs and how explosive he is out of cuts. He was our only RB in the last recruiting cycle, I was hoping we would be able to redshirt him

On defense... Joshua Paschal, and edge rusher who has already received praise from Mark Stoops.







On offense... Lynn Bowden. He can play multiple positions but, if I had to guess, will probably end up at wide out after the injury of Dorian Baker. Wasn't cleared by the NCAA clearance house until after Fall training had started but has all of the tools to be the next Randall Cobb.

Like LSU, USC's camp has been closed so we only get coach speak indications in post-practice pressers.

DB Jaylin Dickerson was thought to be one that could step up and provide depth to the secondary, but he's now out for the season with a shoulder injury. CB Jam Williams looks like one who contribute this season in a reserve role along with DB Tavyn Jackson, although I doubt we'd see much of them in the 1st half of the season....

The LB position has Sherrod Greene who has gotten notice from CWM, also DT MJ Webb was an early-enroller who participated in spring camp, but DE Aaron Sterling was called out by CWM lately for some good practices.

On offense, USC will rely on a 6-receiver group for the season, and freshmen WRs OrTre Smith - another spring camp freshman - and Shi Smith are listed among those. Shi has really shown out in recent camps getting praise from both players and coaches. Also, QB Jay Urich has impressed both CWM and Roper with how quickly he's coming along...

OT Andrew Thomas- likely starter at RT for UGA.

STAR Deangelo Gibbs- probably won't start, but should see some time at Nickle corner.

WR Mark Webb- he has blown up at camp and is pushing for a lot of PT this year.

ILB Monty Rice- we have a great starting tandem in Roquan Smith and Natrez Patrick, but reports are that Rice is making it hard to keep off of the field.

True frosh Trey Smith will start every game on OL. Even for freshmen phenoms, he isn't normal. He looks like he should be attending his 5th pro bowl....on defense.


It's OL so he'll still have a lot of work/tons to improve on but gotdam.

Guy on the left is senior and on the Ouland Trophy watchlist. Guy on the right is Trey Smith. Smith showed up to camp at the ripe old age of 17.

I think we will also see plenty of these guys:

Isaiah Wilson at OG or OT

Jeremiah Holloman at WR (has cooled off some due to a hamstring injury, but he had a HOT start to camp)

Richard LeCounte at S or Star...He has been working with the 1st team this week (due to Injury of CB Parrish)

Ameer Speed at CB

D'Andre Swift will also be playing plenty at RB and in the Slot as a WR
