Agree, if you are a juco, and redshirt, we missed.

But redshirting them only compounds the problem. I would hope that if we determine a JUCO is a wasted scholarship before the season, we would avoid redshirting them so that we're only out 2 years of a scholarship rather than 3.

I would hope that in the event we do redshirt a JUCO, while not ideal, it means we still believe they can be a factor.

Joq will challenge for a starting job.

Joc is running 3rd string tackle right now. We will see. I hope he continues to improve.

You can NEVER have enough OL...
We were actually very lucky we had very limited injuries to our staring 5 this year

He's a RS- you arent going to give top 2 reps to someone that isnt going to play on Saturday

I've heard it's being talked about. He won't be on scholarship if he does- or won't count against the 85

Speaking of jucos not contributing, did Hutcherson play this year? I swear I saw him out there, but I don't see him as having a catch this year.

He played on special teams and in mop up duty.

We won't know if Damien will be granted a 6th year until after our bowl game. Then it will be up to Damien if he still wants to play.

Now that's a wasted scholly.

Not if he can fill the Brandon Hill role next year.

Great post on another board. Haha

I took a look at the Spirit board and it appears they have pretty much conceded Rankin. Yancy says that with Womack's flip to Alabama they are "done with offensive line recruiting" unless they can flip Womack again. When a poster asked about Rankin the responses indicated they really aren't going after him.

Other things of interest I noted:

Yancy thinks Peters is "a stud" but is a lock for State and the Rebs are making no further effort to recruit him.

After watching Leo Lewis in the MS v AL Allstar game most of them (not Yancy) question whether he can play in the SEC although others say it was a lack of effort.

Some (not Yancy) said Malik Dear is 40 pounds overweight and never will see the field at State.

They are worried about Will Muschamp's visit with Tony Bridges and that he might be persuaded to flip back to Auburn.

After Ugo Amadi's recent decommit from Ole Miss speculation is rampant about why he decommitted and where he would go. Believe it or not Yancy is blaming Ole Miss fans for not being as active contacting recruits on social media as they were two years ago and pointed to fans at UT and Auburn as being far more effective than Ole Miss fans in using social media to help recruit players. One poster replied by saying he thought it was a recruiting violation for fans to recruit players even on social media! I thought it was also.
