That team breakdown link is very useful. Wow, we REALLY need some ILBs and I can’t understand how you end up with no senior OL except a former walk-on.

This was my initial reaction also – There looks to be a great big hole in @ ILB after this year

Franklin’s the first SEC coach to do something since Lane Kiffin? I never would have guessed.

Michael Carvell just writes posts angled to anger the loons that follow the aj-c (albeit a small number). He fits right in with that rag.

The Tide fans on there are the (exact) same people as the Florida fans from the previous 20 years. Tech fans who have given up.

How can Carvell talk with a mouth full of James Franklin?

“you just don’t see many recruits whose GPA is similar to their 40 time”
Amen, but I also wish he had some blockers we knew were going to get the job done. We attract ‘skill’ players as well as anyone and the style of the offense is surely part of that attraction, but I wonder if the style of the offense holds some of the better big uglies off.

That makes very little sense to me. Don’t lineman want to work in pro-style offenses as well. I am just afraid our recruiters have not been consistently attracting those guys.

Is Calipari the first big name to declare the NCAA walking dead?
Don’t you think he’s had some conversations with big names with authority before he said something so revolutionary?

As much as people like to give Calipari hell and think he’s dirty, a reputation that he definitely earned given his track record, I find him refreshing and engaging whenever I hear him call into radio stations and whatnot. He’s certainly a lot more progressive than the suits in Indianapolis and sees the situation for what it is. Most of us can see that the NCAA is so outdated that it’s not keeping pace with the institutions it claims to represent and would have gone out of business a long time ago if it weren’t artificially propped up by the institutions.

+1. The NCAA is on its last legs and college athletics–particularly football–will be better for its demise.

Calipari certainly has been pushing the no-NCAA stuff recently.

I’m surprised that Carvell hasn’t given UGA hell for not giving LSU’s female soccer goalkeeper Mo Isom — who’s trying to kick for the Tigers as a walk-on — a change to do that at UGA. After all, she is from Lassiter High School.

Mo is the most admirable college athlete I have seen in a long time. Soccer goalie, homecoming queen, now placekicker? I am in love with her.

Hope people remember it’s a gal when you say you are in love with a goalie/men’s football placekicker. When we hear of the next LSU drunk going face down and having the placekicker’s shorts rubbed in his face after the game while at Krystal Burger, we will try to remember

The scholarship chart says J. Theus has already redshirted, but I’m assuming they just mixed him up with his brother, and also messed up his brother’s first inital. Can somebody confirm this? Who is G. Theus? I thought the Theus brother already on campus is Nathan Theus.

Pinkel talked more about the M logo loss than the SEC teams to be played.Hope the tiger has one eye closed in a big wink because that would be one logo no one could miss.
Looks like room for 6 early enrollees even with renewal of Frix, Faloughi, Sailors and Harton schollies. I thought Frix was the long snapper, not an O lineman. Probably didn’t separate STs from the every down lineup. The three additional walkons would be on the bubble to EEs would they not?
