Ok

I agree too but both Phillips and Taylor are at worst similarly proven and rated as this juco kid

Phillips is similarly rated. Taylor is not.

And Taylor has not played a single snap in college.

Kyle Phillips has proven very little to this point though I think that he will be a really good player here.

Not everybody is going to be proven. You can't have 85 proven guys on your roster. We have a superstar DE, two very solid guys, elite young talent, and a DL coach everybody on here seems to believe in.

We are fine at DE no matter how this class finishes.

Exactly. There is no way to ever have experienced depth at every position.

This may be crazy talk but I believe Kongbo may also be in the DT rotation. He's completely different than Taylor and he frees up Phillips to be more of a pure DE on those four DE packages.

That DE playing DT thing was more a Jancek jam IMO. Shoop likes to bring pressure from different angles...guess we'll see but Phillips didn't like that role and Shoop seems to have eased his mind on the scheme.

I'll have to stay off Volnation for a week if they cut someone loose. It will ruin NSD with all the "Butch is the devil" post.

May do the same, but more than likely it will be time for the Ignore feature to be put to some use. Can always take it off later.

Former Alabama RB Tyren Jones will play at South Carolina this season. Same class as Henry, Kamara, and Tenpenny.

He went from being a top 100 recruit as a high school student to a 3* on 247 as a JUCO player.

Blows my mind that Bama was able to land that many talented RBs in a single class.

Taylor was a 4star highly rated kid.

Sure he hasn't played a down but neither has the other kid.

Fairly reasonable to me to think Taylor could do the same thing next year at a JC that this kid did this year.


All 3 have ? About their ability. 2 kids that have been in the program and we have heard raving reviews about are more of a sure thing than a juco guy especially a juco guy that wasn't well thought of before this year.

All he's proven to me is that he needed a redshirt.

I would guess that the nation's number one juco player has the chance to be elite.

Good thing this is a both/and situation and not an either/or situation.

We need both Kongbo and Taylor.

I posted this is the Dickerson thread, but thought it needed a wider audience as I have no idea wtf is going to happen.

Fortenberry said we have three spots. There are no blue shirt candidates. The only way around that is we piss someone off with a gray shirt offer (assuming none were told that is a possibility up front).

Dickerson, Kongbo, Warrior, Brown, Byrd.


How do you say no to two of those? And what's up with an in-home with Moss and then an OV after that?

It's reasonable to think that Darrell Taylor would be the a 5* and the nation's number one Juco player? :crazy:

take 21, tell Stewart to postpone enrollment (which may be happening anyway) and cut someone loose.

Stewart will have to make up his mind at some point. We have pretty much already recruited over him and he hasn't even enrolled. Playing time not looking good for his future

Question: Since Bruce and Oliver never went on scholarship, do they still count as initial counters? If I recall, they were about to be a blue shirt, but were cut before they enrolled. Might that mean we have 22 spots, 23 if Stewart doesn't ever enroll?

GFW dropped the hint that we might have more available spots than we thought.

Pretty sure they don't count as anything

Reason being Bruce was eligible immediately at Mtsu

They do not count. They were essentially walk-ons when they got cut. There's still 4 other blueshirts taking up those spots (5 if you include Stewart).

I'm gonna say it. Vilify me if you want.

Assuming we have only 3 spots left and assuming they all want in, take Brown/Daniels, Warrior, Williams. Drop nieuhaus or Tatum and take Dickerson. Drop Buchanan and take Byrd.

Yea it's cold blooded and wrong. But I want the best players regardless of feelings.

If bridges are burned, so be it. If we consistently compete for championships, players will be wanting in regardless what we did to a player from their school previously.

List of best coaches: Saban, Meyer, Kelly, Harbaugh, Briles, dantonio, etc.

ALL COLD BLOODED
