The Blue Board

Wow, what a small secondary

I had that too then I went back and changed it due to Saban's comments about Tomlinson. He said if he had not gotten hurt this year he would have played a ton. That's interesting about Anderson, I had not heard that. If he ever wants to start it might have to be at RE. I never liked him as a 5 star. Good stuff

I'm worried about Anderson's ability to cover much more than anything else. Nico struggled covering and that led to him only playing around half the snaps. Anderson can give us a run stuffer but if he wants to be elite he will have to play in space and cover.

He might play WR. He tried it this Summer and had too many drops so he played DB. But maybe he wants another shot, not sure. And as for Mosley, yeah, he's probably going to stay another year and work on getting a little bigger.

0%- he gone

DL will finally have the talent, size AND depth that has eluded USC for the last 2-4 years.

Where's Nova been? He would tear this post to shreds.

Sylve got a chance at WR but was quickly moved to CB where he has seen mop-up duties. Given time he could be able to get on the field as a 3rd corner. His speed is tremendous, but he needs more size and strength for him to contribute. I dont think Stinson was ever a FB/RB. IMO Stinson is the most underrated player on this defense.

Absolutely not. Jernigan has had back to back very good years and will now be a jr. He has made more plays than Easlry the last two years.

Joyner was defensive POY in HS and is an intermittently dominant player. He's never going to be a first round pick but he could finish top3 for the Lott

Stinson was an edge DE coming out of HS and grew into his current 34 DE role.

both Brad Sylve and Jabriel Washington made the move early on to CB and are merely redshirt freshman at this juncture. how much PT either eventually gets will depend on their individual developement and the readiness of new additions each year.

Eddie Williams back to WR makes since w/ Sunseri,C-Dix,& Collins all being underclassmen, vet Nick Perry, & the expected return of Jarrick Williams for 2013.

food for thought leading into to spring...
w/ the departure of Mike Williams & the rumored move of Ryan Anderson to MIKE, could we see Reggie Ragland get a look at TE ? ya never know.

Assuming OLB Jarvis Jones, ILB Ogletree, NT Geathers leave early:

DE- Garrison Smith sr, (Toby Johnson jr), Mike Thornton sr
NT- Jonathan Taylor r fr, Chris Mayes jr
DE- Ray Drew jr, John Atkins fr, (Montravious Adams fr), Sterling Bailey r so
OLB(Jack in bama terms)- Jordan Jenkins so, Leonard Floyd fr
Mike- Amarlo Herrera jr, Reggie Carter fr, Johnny O'Neal fr, Tim Kimbrough fr
Moe- Ramik Wilson jr, (Reuben Foster fr), Ryne Rankin fr
WLB- Josh Dawson so, Chase Vasser r sr, James DeLoach so
CB- Damian Swann jr, Devin Bowman jr, Reggie Wilkerson fr, Shaq Wiggins fr
CB- Sheldon Dawson so, Malcolm Mitchell jr, Brendan Langley fr
FS- Corey Moore jr, Shaquille Fluker jr, Kennar Johnson jr
SS- Harvey-Clemons so may be a LB, Tray Matthews fr, Connor Norman sr

Lot of talent, but very young. Foster would start I just didn't want to pencil in a starter who's not committed yet. The safety position is the most concerning. We don't really know what we have there. Harvey-Clemons could grow into the linebacker position, similar to what Ogletree did.
