Our Chances With

govols182 · 06-15-2008, 02:44 PM

What are our chances with these DL?

WDE:

1)Devon Kennard-I think longshot
2)Sam Montgomery-Him and Martin could be faster DE tandem
3)Ryne Giddins-has a ton of interest
4)Dyron Dye-on the light side, but good frame to add weight

SDE:

1)Craig Drummond-huge frame, could be molded to DT
2)William Ming-he's a ginger, but oh well
3)DeOnte Arnett-kind of slow for UT DE, but chances?
4)Duane Chisolm-good speed for his size

DT:

There's already another thread for them, so just list which ones we have the best shot at.

Thanks to ViA, head1, and LWSVol in advance.

I'll put this in the same thread.

I've read on other boards at if Rico has a good year he is gone because he doesn't like school. That means we will have 3 new starting LB's and be losing 4 meaningful contributers. That would leave us with:

1)Gerald Williams-if he gets in and isn't DE.
2)Chris Donald-can't learn playbook and might move back to DE from what I've read on other boards.
3)Austin Johnson-right now is FB but will be moved back to MLB
4)Savion Frazier-heard a lot of good things about this kid
5)Nick Reveiz-headhunter
6)Lamarcus Thompson-had a good spring from what I've read

6 guys won't cut it in the SEC, there are too many injuries that go around. How many of LB's will we need and what kind of chance do we have with these guys?

MLB:

1)Manti T'eo-I know he has ties to us
2)Nico Johnson-hard to pull him from Bama and Auburn
3)Tana Patrick-" " " " "
4)Jerod Askew-looks like he would end up at DE from his speed, unless he improved in that area
5)Chris Williams-Short but Ellix Wilson is shorter
6)Greg King-has some good schools on his interst list

OLB:

1)Jelani Jenkins-Size and speed are mirror image of Rico
2)Frankie Telfort-small but could grow, I'm sure it'll be hard to pull him out of Miami
3)Barkevious Mingo-coolest name in 09' class...and he's big
4)Jonathon Stewart-good size, looks like a UT DE though

So what are our chances with these guys?

Askew could play LB here, 4.6 is plenty fast, especially at his size, for a MLB. The Merrell twins would be good pick ups too.

If Walls has really got that big, he will be a DE

Josh Nunes
David Oku
Rodney Smith
Jerod Askew
Morgan Moses
Peter White
Darren Myles
Stephon Gilmore
Chris Davenport
Eric Gordon
Stavion Lowe

Now the Others:

QB- Jordan Reed

RB- Ronnie Wingo, Gabriel Hunter (looks like it could be Oku or bust)

WR- Reuben Randle, Patrick Patterson, Jamal Patterson, Andre Dubose, Chad Bumphis, and Lamar Scruggs

TE- Orson Charles, Richard Wilson, and Logan Thomas

OL- Johnnie Farms, Quinton Washington, Chris Watt

jelani jenkins looks like a beast of a linebacker in his videos. i've been curious to know how we stand with him, but i'm not even close to getting my hopes up on him.
