If we can keep Baker I like the Linebacker youth especially Keys and imagine we get Whit back another season.
Offense is going to need a complete rehab
But I like the running backs, Curne, Parker, Green, and Adams.
I would love it if we brought back Wade, but quite honestly I think he has everything he needs at NC State, and don’t see him coming back.
It’s a shame about CMM I don’t know why it’s not working, but I do like the guy. The offense just isn’t working and ball movement has been stagnant. Plus he hasn’t been able to develop the on campus talent well at all relying on transfers every year.
I got a capacitor for my AC at a garage sale for 8$.
When the AC went out it saved me from having to call out a tech, and whatever they would have charged me to fix it.
Auburn 2017 is a sleeper game, came back from being down 23-7 in the mid Q2
Don't remember ever having Oline issues when he was here at least.
Breaux and Gulliory will allow Dom and Gooden to stay fresh and make impact plays.
I blame the Bengals organization more than anything as far as not putting together a competitive roster.
I am pretty sure they are largely going by seniority for the first team reps; I wouldn't read much into it. I don't think Haulcy has been with the 1's yet, and we all expect him to start at Strong.
That being said Pyburn and Delane have been with the 1's.

When we go to nickel does the Star or the other Inside Backer usually come off the field?
Got to get them the ball in space, I understand the talent we have on the outside, but these two proved last year what they can do. Jets Sweeps, Shallow crossers, or even line them up in the backfield and do some of the routes Clyde used to run. Make our opponents defend the whole field and be able to get the ball out quick with our unproven Oline.
Great interview, believe Jack is going to leave a lot of Florida fans scratching their heads about letting him out the door.
I also like Carter a lot, wouldn't mind hearing him on 104.5 they are in serious need of some enthusiasm in their shows.
Pyburn and Reliford starting
Payton will come in on 3rd downs
I could see that as are base defense but think we will be in nickel a significant amount I think Cooley be our #1 NB
I know the Base is a (5) DB look with a star but I don’t want Perkins to have to cover a slot.
People are gonna forget how good Holman/Jump were last year.
How does he have eligibility left?
I really like the base we got right now. We have 4 starters who are all capable and crafty scorers who are comfortable with the ball in their hands, and a decent bench with Givens, Miller, Mackinnon, and Nwoko. We have seen CMM's team get better each year defensively so if we can keep that trend going the floor is definitely going to improve.
Outside shooting is a definitely an important aspect, but if you live by it you also die by it. It is also just not the case that King or Thomas are incapable of scoring from deep. I would take Haggerty or Claude in a heartbeat and let Mackinnon or Mosley be our shooters.

I would also argue that the league will be taking a step back as well A&M and Miss State will become must wins.



Damn, I was liking our chances with him.
I hope we move our attention to Zachary Davis next.
Honestly think this teams needs one more player, preferably a decent two way off ball guard , who isn’t afraid to take 3 and can hit them, young with power 4 starting experience, but preferably has 3 years of eligibility left.

So VJ Miller or even Adam Miller ??
I agree we gotta get another scorer, but I think King will be solid as well. Would love to go for Parker out of Mcneese.
I like the expanded roster specifically for LSU, take a chance on a local kid with some promise and see if you can turn him into something. Maybe he turns into Marlon Taylor or Jordan Wright. Specifically I would look for athletic off ball guards or wings.
Yes I know Taylor was from Florida but he wasn’t highly recruited.
To Batman's point Louisiana has some underrated talent if you can find and develop them. Sadly recently LSU hasn't been able to tap into recently like Baylor and Houston have.
Wright and Carter weren't highly rated recruits out of high school, but they got coached up and became good. Import some overseas Bigs and supplementary transfers and you could be something every 2 or 3 years.
LSU-A has some pretty good younger guards as well. Isaiah Howard and EJ McQuillan both played at Port Allen, definitely not big names, but the kids can play. Howard is a good trigger man, but with Thomas, Givens, and Reece I doubt we pick up another.
