Denico Autry.

Looking back, we are actually very lucky we didn't get Autry. He wouldn't fit the scheme we are running now. Too small to play DE in the 3-4 & we didn't need a JUCO LB (which is what he would have played here in Sal's scheme, Alabama wanted Autry as a JACK)

We would've found a place for him.

Thundervol55 asked Perroni (who evaluates JUCO's on Rivals) if he would evaluate Bradley and assign him a star rating. Perroni's response...



So Perroni has never seen any film on Bradley but already has an idea of his star ranking. Yet rivals claims to not base ratings on offer lists. Some real in depth evaluating going on over there. Maybe, just maybe, we should trust the coach's evaluations over guys like Perroni?

I was thinking the same exact thing. This guy Perroni is a knucklehead for sure.

sorry JMoore thats pure BS

Great Coaching maximizes their players abilities by putting them in positions that they can succeed and excel.

If this staff got Autry you best believe any coach worth half his pay grade would do everthing to get him on the field
You dont fit players into schemes, You fit schemes around your players.

its the reason why a Dequan Menzie and Javier Arenas played the exact same star position at Alabama yet played very different roles.

This. Autry was one of the best players in the country last year period. We would have found a place to play him. There is no way you can say at this point that it would have been a wasted scholarship. How do we know at this point that he would not be better than Jac, Willie Bo, or J. Williams?

So we should have took Autry even though he is too small to play a 3-4 DE & we already have 2 JACK LB's on the roster & one that was just brought in out of HS?

You don't fit players into schemes? Since when? So we are playing a 3-4 so we should just take whoever is a beast & plug him in? That's how some guys become busts.

UT isn't sold on Jac Smith being a good Jack LB yet. Sunseri would love to have a talent like Autry to play jack this year.

Sorry man, You dont know what youre talking about.

let me break it down. If you havea DE on your roster who is strictly a pass rusher, why would you play him at Right DE opposite the TE just because your scheme says so...

Trust me, if we landed Autry he would PLay it has nothing to do with Scheme.

if you're a coach who runs a 3-4 scheme and you tell me you would sit a guy like Leonard Little on the bench because he is a 4-3 DE then youre a moron.

Great Coaches are flexible when it comes to scheme when it means getting your best players on the field.

simple, basic football.

Bill Belichek was a ground and pound HC going back to his cleveland days, guess what he did when he got Tom Brady... I shouldnt have to explain any further

Little played LB & DE at Tennessee. He would have likely been a JACK LB in a 3-4.

My argument isn't that Autry wasn't good enough, heck Nick Saban wanted him at Bama to play JACK but Autry wasn't sold on it.

Maybe I misworded what I was trying to say. I feel that the scholarship was better used somewhere else b/c we didn't need a JUCO JACK LB b/c IMO we have 2 very good ones on campus right now.

I will be very interested to see how Autry performs this year. IMO he would've helped us tremendously regardless of scheme.

I don't think it would have hurt to add a third Jack that could be better than what you already have, Juco or not. Remember in the signing day presser when DD said your a fool if you didn't recruit CP whether you needed him or not? Same could be said about Autry.

Nooooo :no:....... What two guys on campus are very good at the Jack? Autry would probably be a starter at Jack for us.
