what concerns me is he worked there in bowl practices some too. Calhoun didn't.Quote:

He may have forgotten about Calhoun but I seriously doubt he would have forgotten who his projected starter would be at that position if Calhoun was actually projected to start there.
Reading between the lines as of today which will probably change, my guess based on what Dan said is our o-line will probably be:
LT- Jenkins
LG- Story
C- Rankin
RG- Calhoun- and maybe you flip the guards knowing Hevesy
RT- ???????? But if I had to guess it would be Eiland if you want me to be honest.
Edit to say that he didn't talk about the other o-line positions but those are the guys he mentioned the most as the "leaders".
What if rankin is a better center than he is a tackle? I don't know what the deal is but we just gave the man a raise and an extension so I think we trust him... maybe we should just let him work and criticize him come September if it doesn't workQuote:

The deal is we don't have a center.Quote:

1st day melt I'm impressed
Seriously, if you're melting down over day 1 of a Dan Mullen spring practice, either you haven't been around very long or you're looking for something to be mad at.
Moon = Jake Thomas 2.0.
Doesn't have the right mentality to be successful in this league. We recruit to many "good kids" and not enough guys with a chip on their shoulder that can flat play.
Hev needs to read about Angela Duckworth and "grit". Find people that have overcome obstacles and refuse to fail.
Good Grief, so I take it Leo was on the field or this site would be nuked.Quote:

That's why the midget who signed with LSU a few weeks ago was so big for our program so it wouldn't ruin Key's jr & sr year. Instead, Key is going to be paired exclusively with Kylin. Tyler's jr & sr year was ruined by Perkins like Dak with Shump & Holloway in 2015. You can't tell me that the soph J-Rob shouldn't have played over perk. J-Rob was why we made the run in 2014 as a jr.Quote:

dude won Louisiana as a senior. He's legit. Not like playing pattycake at IMG in FL. Winning Louisiana is big time.Quote:

As for me it's going to be pretty hilarious at the spin when Rankin is named the center. Of course we already have that with "Who knows he may be even better at center?" Hilarious.
I see this false agenda is still being pushed.Quote:

You and random are not objective... you hate Mullen. I'm a Mullen guy, so I'm not objective either. IYOK is objective and he called it a meltQuote:
