- Alexis Johnson no where near ready to help.
- Sutton Kamara game-time decisions.
- (on Mosley) Trying to find big, able bodies to help d-line.
- @ 59mins: Darrin Kirkland Jr.'s hair game is getting stronger. (They must've edited the youtube video after I posted. Seems the player's session has been removed)

I've been worried about DKJ's hair game for quite some time now. Hopefully it has that of a Samson effect.

They normally shorten them down like that?

Sadly, I never attended barber school, so I can offer no expert opinion in this area.

Kirkland seemed very complimentary regarding UK. Seems like a good kid and a solid player. Good face for the UT program.

SIAP but what's up with Alexis? I know he had a hip flexor and obviously the charges put a delay on his arrival. I still expected some sort of contribution especially with our condition at DT.

It's disappointing. You bring JUCO guys in to play. If he isn't ready though, he isn't ready. We could use him pretty bad though right now.

I'm hoping that he would be eligible for a redshirt (medical redshirt maybe) since he only played in the VTech game. Have a big guy like that for 2 more years would give us some more stability at DT and give him a chance to show was he's capable of/possibly prove he can play at the next level.

The way things have gone for Kmac and Tuttle and their injuries, I would imagine both of them will stay through their senior years. Having Vickers/Kmac/Tuttle/Johnson/Picou/
Bain/Mosely (?)/Gaddy/ Crosby makes me feel "decent" about the depth there next year.

I'd have to think he might be encouraged to move on in a numbers crunch with this years class.

That's a silly statement. Telling a 4 star defensive tackle that hasn't even gotten a chance to really play to move on would be idiotic, I'm sorry. We've already lost Kmac, Tuttle and Danny O, and we can see from the past few weeks that our depth won't be changing much next year (if they sign, only adding 2 freshman that could potentially be ready to play next year). Give him a year of solid work with the team and in the weight room, this guy will be a beast.
