Some good info from CPJ.

- Says Morgan Bailey may not return

- Devine has lost 35 pounds

- Akins around 290-300

- Roberts and Bailey likely out for bowl

- likely taking two-three more recruits

I think all these notes must have come after the audio you linked quits

Maybe so...I watched the press conference live today.

Can redshirts play in the bowl game and have it not count against them.

no

This week is finals so im guessing there are no practices. Would practices start next week?

Guessing when he says "We're going to start on Thursday" that means this Thursday this week?

 

[GTrob21]

This is going to be a tough game. I have watched a couple of Ole Miss games and their QB can be either a life saver or the cause of a Loss.

I really think we are going to move the ball on their D, I was not impressed when i watched them

However, if their QB is on and our CB's are playing their standard 10 yard cushion, it could be a long game for us.

Yeah, I read in the AJC that practice starts Thursday this week.

Eric, how much weight has Chris Griffin put on since arriving on campus? From what's been said he came real close to making the 2 deep out of fall camp.

This is a rule that I would like to see changed

Good news on Devine losing some weight. Someone (I believe Errin Joe) tweeted about him looking like the girl from the movie Precious:Based on the novel PUSH by Sapphire.

As others have said it will be Thursday.

I dont know the exact number but I seen him a few weeks ago and he is a good sized kid. Really excited about him...I think he will be a starter next year.

Sorry about Bailey. But he gets his degree this spring and leaves a big winner with that degree.

Great news on Devine. That would put him in the 320 range weight wise. Close to an ideal playing weight.

And the weight gain by Akins gives us another large DT/NT to add to that list of players coming in next season and reduces the need to recruit at those two positions.

Do I detect the "wheel of fortune" turning in the right direction?

 

[OldJacketFan]

I just noted Akins has put on 25-30 lbs since he hit campus? Damn! He found what Shamire lost Any update on Kevin Robbins?

 

[thocut]

Good to hear that about Shamire. With his frame he should be able to pack on some serious muscle. We may be able to run 1 less guy on the line once he's in good enough shape he's so big.

and he has gained about 50-60 pounds from the start of his Senior year to know...CPJ did not update Robbins.

With Akins adding the weight he has as well as some of the other young O and D linemen it looks as if the S&C program it starting to pays the kind of dividends we'd hoped for bringing in Coach Sisk!

I feel like Sisk has been a huge upgrade.
