Y'all get ready the guy has done a complete 180. Major props to Turner and Collins they have that guy back on track for a big season this year. Saw him at practice yesterday and his motor was running 150% the entire time..

I took the signing of both James and Evans with a huge grain of salt from the beginning because of their history in HS. Thought both were worth taking a risk on though. Everything I've heard about James since the end of last season sounds like the risk is about to pay off.

I have some relatives that tutored Nick and tried to help he and his father get

him eligible a few years ago and honestly they had a high opinion of both Nick and his father. Anger management has always been the challenge for Nick. If he gets that channeled in the right direction look out. The guy is a mountain of a man.

How many years does he have left? Didn't he red shirt one season and stay in Mullen's dog house one season?

He has three years left. He played as a true freshman in 2012, redshirted last year, and will be a sophomore this year.

No doubt, Pat,

that they were worth the risks. I'm glad Nick was (from recent accounts) apparently able to get his life on track. Hopefully he can stay the course, and continue to develop.

It's a shame that Evans couldn't ever figure things out.

Glad to hear this. Since our other big man (Q. Evans) that I was excited about was a bust.

I wonder if he's kicking himself yet for throwing away the best opportunity he's ever had. I just shake my head thinking about what could have been this year. Oh well. Enjoy playing in front of 3,000 people on Saturday, Quay. Guess you can pretend you are just playing at ole miss in the 4th quarter.

I speculate that nick got a little jealous of chris jones success and off the field interest. And finally realized what can happens when you buy into the system
