    Most popular is playing time//ability.

    Dom Jones and Darius White both had their moments. Jones moreso than White.

  • A lot of those appear to be bad evals...in hindsight, I am so glad 5-7 happened. Where the hell would we be if it didn't?? I shudder to think about it...

    I thought that too. I don't remember Timmons having any off field issues.

  • Thanks for the post Bobby, it's nice to have it all in one place.

  • Thanks Bobby. It would be interesting to include an updated "watch list" of candidates before and after this coming season.

    I am told that Timmons had "other" issues.

    With Terrell, I think academics played a role in his decision.

    Could very well be a blessing in disguise. The coaching changes and the level of talent they're bringing in now could turn out to be a gigantic positive in the coming years after a very big negative in 2010.

    Thanks Bobby. It would be interesting to include a "watch list" of candidates before and after this coming season.

    QB Case McCoy
    * depends on whether or not he gets playing time this season and whether another QB gets snaps other than Ash.

    RB No one on current roster
    * the backfield is filled with quality players

    FB Chet Moss
    * already in limbo.

    WR Bryant Jackson
    WR Miles Onyegbule
    WR John Harris
    * one of the receivers will likely be bypassed by a younger player during the year and fall well out of the rotation.

    TE Trey Graham
    * still officially on the team despite long-term injury issues.

    OL Kyle Kriegel
    OL Taylor Doyle
    OL Marcus Hutchins
    OL Thomas Ashcraft
    OL Garrett Porter
    OL Paden Kelley
    * basically any player who is not a starter who is an upperclassmen and a couple of young guys who are behind several others.

    DL Brandon Moore
    * juco guy; if he has a big year, he could leave early for NFL; could say the same about Donald Hawkins

    LB - No one on current roster
    * I could see one or two of the incoming freshmen having issues

    DB - Roster looks very solid
    * I could see an academic issue or two popping up but otherwise the lower-end scholarship players have already transferred this spring

    K/P Will Russ
    * It all depends on how he kicks this year IMO

    With grades due out soon, it's a waiting period.

    I know DJ Monroe is said to be in very good standing, which is good to hear given how he started out his career.

    Hadn't thought of losing Hawkins. Hate to see another young Tackle thrown into the starting lineup before they are ready.

    Whats the latest on Greenlea?

  • Thanks Bobby. I was really thinking about Kelly, Porter and Ashcraft. Won't they all be four year guys after this season? And wow, thanks MCWhorter, hope your handicap went down that last 4-5 years.

    I thought he looked good in spots this spring. I still feel like he's more a guard than tackle, however.

    Yes, they will. But they all redshirted so they have another year left.

    This comment is strongly supported by this:

    "OL Kyle Kriegel

    Wow. Just wow.
