Which #'s are the newbies going to be wearing?

[Jasongivm6]

What #'s would you like to see Vinson, Jones, etc. wearing? I'm not like most people, I actually get excited when I find out what #'s the players are going to wear.

 

[ut 4 me]

i must admit, i get excited too. the number truly makes up a player

 

[Jasongivm6]

So, we have #1, #3, #9, #20, #29, and others up for grabs. Who gets to pick? Anyone know? Do the players write down 3 of their top choices and let the coaches decide?

:dunno:

kenny o'neal-#3 (maybe he'll perform like his predecessor)

 

[ut 4 me]

or even better

I wouldn't be surprised if that number goes to another Oklahoma receiver: Gerald Jones.

i think milwood said that gerald would want 7, but obviously he can't take it from jerod. i think 3 was his second option

More than one player can wear a number, as long as they aren't on the field at the same time. It might not be a problem for Gerald to be #7. Rick Clausen wore #7 after Peyton's number 16 was retired. So at that time, there were two #7's.

i guess he could, but is it jerod's decision to let him wear it or not, or is it gerald's, or even a coach's?

I have no clue. I think I remember that Cadillac Williams was really put off when UT wouldn't guarantee that he could wear #24.

am i correct in saying that some people think auburn cheated and got cadillac and ronnie brown from us?

No, Auburn cheated by letting us have Jabari Davis and Cedric Houston instead.

 

[ut 4 me]

what do you mean

 

[Jasongivm6]

what do you mean

I was just kidding. Jabari, Cedric, and Cadillac were 3 big time recruits that we wanted. One of them got away.

 

[ut 4 me]

i had always heard that people thought auburn paid some one to get him there

 

[MillwoodFootball]

i aksed gerald what number he was going to get and he told me that one of the coaches told him #4

 

[ut 4 me]

4 is a pretty sweet number. wasn't that stallworth's?

 

[k-sny-vol]

it was wade's #..

 

[k-sny-vol]

What is Eric Berry goin to wear.. he wore 10 in HS.. but he def. cant take it away from EA.. so he could wear #4, #29, #24...
Brent Vinson, G. Jones, Kenny 0-neil, will decide between #1, #3, #4, n #9..

 

[hvwarrior58]

Berry is gonna be #1 from what I've gathered. Jones is #4. I'd guess O'Neil will get #3 out of those listed and Vinson gets #9.

 

[kptvol]

4 is a pretty sweet number. wasn't that stallworth's?

it was wade's #..

They both wore #4. Stallworth left right before Wade got here.

 

[ut 4 me]

i really liked wade and stallworth. hopefully, gerald will be the best #4 we have ever had

 

[hvwarrior58]

Don't forget about Hall. He did have a few game winning FGs.
