Did Dear play in Spring game?

[fishwater99]

I missed some of it, but I didn't see him in the part that I saw..

[MadisonDawg]

Tweeted that he has a sprained ankle last week.

[Coach34]

No, he hurt a testicle

[state66]

Ha I wondered the same thing. He was fully dressed out and I saw him standing on the sideline all game long but I don't think he played a single snap.

Dear is another true freshman that will get PT next year.

At rb? Slot? Both?

According to Robbie and Paul he tore up spring. Was a monster receiving and running the ball. He was basically used as Percy Harvin. They said he will play, just to good to red shirt.

Did he lose any weight? In the all star games that I saw, he looked too stocky and was more or less ineffective. Everyone was saying that he had gotten a little heavy.

He will play majority in the slot but will also line up in the backfield as well. He's going to be the true Percy Harvin role we've talked about since Mullen got here.

He's already lost 10-12lbs since he's gotten to campus. He'll lose another 10-15lbs between now & fall camp.

Talking in 3rd person doesn't fool anybody.

Ifyouonlyknew = Stricklin????

Dear is going to give us a dimension that we've never really had since Dan has been here. I think it's going to take us to the next level offensively- and it's going to be fun for us to watch.

[Reason2succeed]

Is his ankle really "sprung" or is Mullen just keeping his skills and the way that he will be used off video for other coaches to scheme against all summer?!? Wouldn't he at least hear the real medical term if his ankle was sprained?

I don't think we're trying to hide him. The guy was an Army AA for goodness sakes. I think it's more likely because it's spring practice and there is no reason to risk anything. I'm pretty sure if this was the SEC regular season, he would play. Probably give him a walking boot.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Sprained & sprung we know what he meant. I imagine a few of our guys who use the same term.

[hailmari]

Exactly. I can hear my fellow NE Mississippians now... "I seen on twitter he sprung his ankle.."

[blacklistedbully]

I say it's Rocky Felker.

true, at least 7 true freshman will play in addition to the 4 jucos

Dear
Adams
Peters
McLaurin
Lewis
Joseph or Jones or Mullins - 1 of those 3. I think Joseph.
Smitherman or Stamps. I think Smitherman

wildcard is Spivey if he can pickup CB quickly. He's going to the next in line that Mullen refers to "yeah, I think we were the only school that offered...." like he does with so many others with that Cheshire grin.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I don't see any of the DE play or the CB. Also Spivey will start off at WR. I agree with the rest though.

Shouldn't you be trying to lower fan expectations of true freshmen, Dan?
