Small early training camp notes

[Todd4State]

Leo came in out of shape. By all accounts, Kylin Hill and Willie came in the opposite.

Out of shape because of those damn escorts that Ole Miss got him.**

[louisvilledawg]

True, and supposedly Leo was asked about redshirting and had no issue with it.
And I wouldn't be shocked if Austin Williams also plays as true freshman .

The Will Prosser of 2017. Me likey.

I liked Austin Williams' tape because it seemed like he ran crisp routes and caught everything thrown to him. He may not be a #1 receiver but those traits could make him a great possession receiver.

[lamont]

I'm all for Hill living up to the hype. I'm ready to see it

[kojak]

The 2 freshman Hill and Gay are the talk of camp the first 2 days.
Like I said from day one Hill plays this year and plays a lot. Not knocking Gibson and
Lee , KH just that talented
KT has bulked up also doesn't look like a kid going thru his first fall camp
Word is expect Ellis here first of August

Would lead you to believe that a freshman RB will see significant playing time. Now, I hope he does play if he is the best, but that has NEVER been how Mullen operates. He plays Seniors and Juniors. It will be Williams and Gibson. If Kylin gets 25 carries this year I will be surprised.

[Cooterpoot]

Only way Hill plays is if Aries gets hurt.

[Dawgfan77]

We have never had Hill talent under Mullen as a freshman TB

He hasn't done it in the past. But that's why it's a prediction.

This... Hill is the most ready college back out of high school since Dan has been here. Not a knock on the talent Aires had and has but Hill is SEC ready.

[GTHOM]

Heard Jamal Couch is looking good. I expect Hill to redshirt unless he just tears it up in camp. Willie Gay is gonna play. Every bit as good an athlete as cam akers is

He was in the wingbone in high school. Like his size and hands but hes got a lot to learn

Everyone is convinced Grantham will be attacking and aggressive. I think it is more likely that Simmons will morph into a "space eater" NG or he will be forced to split time with some other less talented player who will assume that role. We will wonder why Simmons doesn't play more or have a larger impact rushing the passer? Then he will go to the NFL and do what Chris Jones does. DB's will play 10 yards off the line and TE's will kick our ass over the middle. Until shown otherwise, that is my expectation. I doubt Hill gets more than 25 carries like Someone mentioned previously.
OL will be weak. Fitz will run a lot of tough yards up the gut. We are a 6-7 win team. I hope our D plays lights out, but we have years of evidence suggesting otherwise.

Grantham wouldnt come here if Mullen was gonna make him play that shit. Grantham aint a yes man or in the country club. I feel pretty good about 4 out of the 5 OL. RT concerns me

Mullen is in control and he is the boss. I expect to see more of what we have always seen until proven otherwise. I hear lots of talk suggesting otherwise, but we have heard that before.

Dont blame you at all for feeling that way. Mullen has always been a meddler and its hurt us. I'm just saying Grantham is a take no shit kind of guy, couldve went to a lot of other places besides here. Mullen aint telling him how to run the defense........hopefully

Who is KT? Would you please type their names until me and others learn their names, at last names please, thanks.

[RougeDawg]

Until proven othwewise, I will not be worried about QB development and progress under Mullen.

[Dallas_Dawg]

Keytaeon Thompson, True Freshman Quarterback from Landry Walker HS in New Orleans. 6A State champion, Gatorade player of the year from Louisiana. Stud.

My expectation is that we will be much better on defense, which is not saying much. We were absolutely terrible last year, especially against Auburn, Alabama, and Arkansas. I agree that we will have a weak OL, which is to be expected. You are probably correct about a 6,7 win season.
