    Raekwon Davis

    Cleared to play this year. I thought he was a lost cause. Losing him really stings now

    Screw him. Hope he rides the bench until he gets, "processed".

    I'm curious if he may not be TOO BIG to be a 3-4 DL...

    Who's the resident Xs & Os cat, now that C34 is gone?

    I was under the impression he would end up on the O-Line in college, but I may be mistaken.

    He likes D-line, but most of the scouts think he could be a pro OT.

    You almost can't be too big to play nose in a true 3-4
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

    Supposedly, we're a multiple front defense. Does this mean that with one personnel group we can go 3-4, 4-3, or some crazy Joe Lee Dunn shit?

    Big Nick needs to be versatile.

    No, we are gonna try and be a true 2 gap 3-4 defense.

    It is the most radical change on defense since we hired Joe Lee.

    We have been a 1 gap 4-3 defense since Joe Lee left.

    But it will be nothing like a Joe Lee defense, more NFL like.

    Hope we have the players to do it.

    Raekwon will be one of Bama's typical blue chip transfers in a year or two.

    Didn't Bama have "Mount" Cody a few years ago and then that big Australian Jessie Williams? HUGE guys at NT.

    yup, but those cats had a low center of gravity... Raekwon is 6-6 or 6-7, I think...

    I'd think that could be a liability at NT... but I'll defer...

    Me. He's too big of a punk for any defense in my expert opinion**

    He can practice but I thought he was ineligible to play this year. Did that get over turned?

    I think he was eligible, then ruled ineligible, and is now eligible again....damn it must be nice to play the system like some of these schools know how to do.

    It's dumb. Why even have academic rules? How they got him eligible is a mystery to me. Didn't the kid get a 12 or 14 on his ACT?

    Maybe Bama has their own "Wayne County Academic Institution" somewhere hidden in LA?

    He is not eligible under the new system but Alabama appealed based on this being the first year of that system. So in a technical sense, he is not eligible but because he plays at Alabama they are making an exception this year.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is this "new system"? Did the NCAA increase the HS qualification requirements (ACT, GPA, etc.)?
