Great news! And his name is pronounced Gary apparently, I've been calling him Jerry for a while.
So with Cooper and Green on Board and it looks like the Moores are not switching are we done at LB? We got two very good ones do we need a third now?
scout has him as a 4-star with offers from 6 SEC schools .... for evaluation, isn't 247 the better site ? ... seems like I heard that before
This year? Was it somewhere around 18-20 total? Can't remember. Plus Cord never stepped on campus, so I'm assuming we get that one back for this year.
Green says he wants to major in engineering. Good to have a smart kid.
Long way to go with the Moore's. But we can always get Shareef White in January.Quote:

No way he runs a legit 4.37. But I'm sure he's plenty fast. I'm amped to have him.
There are 11 scholarship seniors including Tobias Smith. We have 83 this year but will have 85 in 2014 when probation is lifted so that makes 13. The rest will have to be due to attrition. I can't imagine going over 20, but I would assume we sign at least 17.Quote:

This is a very big get!! I'd be more than comfortable with having Green and Cooper as our only LB signees for this class.
Anybody think this will help us with Humphrey?
Why would it?Quote:

Of course, he will tell you all his predictions are subject to change as time goes forward to TIFWIW.Quote:

Trying to reason through it now... was at 87 during last summer(after c/o 2012 reported)...
Lost Addarius Perkins, Nick Schuessler, Xavier Grindle(84). Put Devin Fosselman and William Shumpert(FB) on medical scholarship(82). Lost Nick Redmond and Eric Lawson(80). Lost 17 to graduation last year(63). Signed 22(85). Lost Cord Sandberg and Donald Gray(83). Lost Chris Hughes and Ricco Sanders(81). Then, by simply by looking at the roster, I get 79-81 scholarship players(unsure about Swede and Ivan Muniz)
As of right now, I only show room for 12-13 players... There's going to have to be some pretty significant attrition -- and look at the roster boys, there isn't much obvious dead weight left in the upper classes... Going to get rid of some good players that we hate to lose to sign a reasonable number in this class...
That's super fast for that size. I'd be tempted to see what he's like at TE or even WR but he'd also be a weapon on defense. Think about having a LB roam around with that speed and height. We have some good LB's already. Add this guy into it and watch out!
I just don't see it. I went through the roster in depth this week for a post I have tomorrow. I came up with 83 scholarship players including Tobias Smith, Mike Mordecai the punter and Evan Sobiesk the kicker. Those two may not even be on scholarship, we may have just given Cord and Gray's scholarship to walk-ons for this year. Let's assume we did.Quote:

That's 15 schollys available. Attrition is unknown, so who on this team do you cut? I can't imagine letting a freshman from the 2013 class go. John Harris? Gus Walley? Archie Muniz? Where's the fat? If we sign no less than 22 that would mean 7 players need to leave the team somehow. Considering we've had 2-4 per year under Mullen, that seems like a lot to me.
If I'm a 5 star defensive player I want to play on a defense with 4 and 5 star players.Quote:

ETA: Upon further review, Trent Simpson is for some reason not listed on the official roster. So that's 82 players on scholly this year, meaning even less room for the 2014 class. To get to 22 we will need 8 guys to hit the road.
While your reasoning is sound(I thought you were saying they knew each other or something -- which I'd never heard), if it's his priority to go play with other stars, wouldn't he then be even more locked up to Bama?Quote:
