Exactly. He's not just going to walk onto the field and steamroll SEC tackles like those juco chumps. Got
a lot of technique work to do.
Why dont we see him practice 1 time before we put him in the hall of fame, you remember Blair was going to step in and be our starting left tackle for 2 years before moving on to the NFL he wouldn't start for a very good high school team now.
I think he just meant whenever he has chance rather than waiting til nat. championship. Now we all know we will win it next year, so IF IF he has ready the wait will not be long for him.

I've never been a fan of d lineman wearing single digits, unless they post double digit sack seasons !
I'm glad KM is going to 99 for fashion reasons alone. He's just too wide for "1". He is the thickest human I've ever seen ... then the #1 and it was like "huuuh"? He'll look better in 99.
And while were on fashion, what do yall think @ black jers...
Noticed one of new recruits wearing #17 think it was Tyler Byrd so does Dillon Bates change numbers.
Or wear his dad's number
didn't there use to be a rule as to what players can use as numbers on there jerseys ? or is it the NFL I am thinking of ?
Believe that is NFL, mule.
Only players who wear single digit numbers are punters, kickers, and QBs. They quit allowing QBs to wear numbers in the 20s, or Heath Shuler would have taken 21 when he went to the Redskins. Reggie Bush begged for number 5, but they said no.
LBs wear numbers in the 50s. Of course, OL wears numbers in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. That is kind of universal.
I believe receivers only wore the 80s numbers in the late 70s to early 80's, but they went back to letting them wear the 10s when they started using formations with 4 at a time.
Defensive linemen are pretty much designated as the only players wearing the 90's numbers. For a long time, they didn't go past 89. But some teams started going nuts retiring numbers, so they did that.
College for the most part seems like a free for all, except for the O-Line. The one rule I know college has, for obvious reasons; even though many teams have duplicate numbered players, no two players can be on the field wearing the same number at the same time. Somebody screwed up this season, and got a penalty flag for it. That is why I despise number retirement and duplicate numbers in college. That can bite you real quick, especially on special teams.
They also allowed LBs to wear 90's since everyone started using the 3-4. They can wear 40's as well. DB's are 20's-40's.
Just checked official roster. The only number change i noticed is Cam Sutton is now relisted to number 23, with Rashaan Gaulden (hope I spelled that right) recovered.
Most of the pics you see of new guys wearing certain numbers doesn't mean much until they get on campus. Sometimes they get that number, but most of the time, they end up wearing another. I wouldn't read much of anything into what you saw. Kongbo is wearing 55 in all the pics made of him when he visited. How is that working out, if this rumor is true? It seems when they show up and get pictures, whoever is in the equipment room just grabs whatever they have in the players size.
BTW, OP, could you edit your opening entry to add a link to where you are getting this? It makes your thread a whole lot more valid.
In case you missed my link request, VP, I am asking again. Right now, this is just a rumor you have started. I hate to call a fellow poster to the mat, but until I see one, or an explanation to your source, i am calling BS on this. And i know you are still here. I see you!!!!!
