Cory Thomas 6'5" 300 lbs ... Wonder if he'll contribute this year. He's got the size. Looks like he's gonna be inside


Elijah staley 6'6" 235
Nick fitz 6'5" 223 ... These two are gonna be large after a couple of years in s&c

Does not seem to be as many guys North of 300

New Strength and Conditioning coach has them running, so I read.

It's a fast paced world.

Dak talked about us running more hurry-up as well... Seems we're jumping on that bandwagon with him at QB...

When you are stacked on defense you don't have to worry about giving them time to rest and you can run your offense quicker

Had no idea BJ Hammond weighed 240

6'4/240...any word on him? Just a RFr.

Also, any chatter about Jake Thomas?

Also didnt realize Dontavian Lee was bigger than Aeris Williams...and same size as Shump.

BJ Hammond 6-4 240 is a huge WR

Also, Bear at 6-5 225 is going to be a monster...hopefully.

I'm pretty sure Hammond was moved to TE. I haven't heard anything about him but it's hard not to be excited about a former WR that's that big and matched up against a LB

I see him listed at 210 which seems closer to where I thought he would be coming from baseball.

Yeah, they went back and changed that...

I saw Rashun out not too long ago and knew that one was a misprint. IMO, safety is in his future. Probably strong safety. But they can acclimate him wherever. He's been out of football for 4-5 years, so not expecting much from him this year, but expect him to be on the field alot beginning next year.

It's amazing the number of freaks you find on an SEC roster.

I can remember when a 6-4 WR really stood out as an anomaly. Now we have two of them on one team.

One reason SEC basketball sucks now. A lot of guys that would have been guards or small forwards in the past are now wide receivers.

It'll be interesting to see how that trend develops over the next few years. LeBron would have been the best TE ever to play the game had he chosen football. Might very well have happened had he grown up in the southeast and come up a few years later.

I feel like I read that somewhere too.

2? We have Christy too. Don't sleep on the guy... He's going to be a mainstay in the middle of the field. Pure athlete.

Tebow.

Most states have laws in place that allow home schooled kids to play athletics for schools in their district. I was unaware Mississippi had the rule in place.
