Hunt-Days and Whitehead

[takethepoints]

So, how much does Whitehead weigh these days? If he wants to play next year ahead of Antonio Simmons, he'd best be wolfing down those peanut butter sandwiches every hour or so.*

* That's how Paul Anderson used to keep his weight up while he was training heavily: eat half a peanut butter sandwich every hour. Along with "regular" meals, of course.

So CPJ says they "could" play in the bowl game. How likely is it that they will?

Just depends...I think its likely.

Dumb question probably but have both been practicing regularly such that they would be ready to step in and help out? I haven't followed closely enough to know if they have been essentially been preparing just like the active roster in terms of practice/team meetings/workouts etc.

This would be fantastic news if they are both ready to play in our bowl game.

@00Burdell

Both have been playing on the Scout team.

@00Burdell

Both have been playing on the Scout team.

I expect that to change on December 13. Dec. 12 will be the last Scout practice for either of them.

Just curious, could the the freshmen that are red shirting play?

 

[Eric]

@Yoda

They would lose a year of eligibility.

Thought Philip rivers did something crazy back in the day and won like 5 bowl games.

 

[Techster]

No...just after December 12th.

Awesome...they'll be available for the playoffs!!!

Is Whitehead using his second or third year of eligibility this season?

 

[MGTfan]

I believe Whitehead has two more years after this one.

Edit: He does have two more years. He is currently a RS Sophomore.

Great news! I can''t wait to see JHD destroy someone in front of him! Whitehead will keep getting his reps and seeing game time is just sweeter for him!

 

[Northeast Stinger]

This is great news!

 

[thwgjacket]

Any chance we move Whitehead to LB after losing Nealy?

 

[Eric]

Don't see Whitehead as a OLB unless in a 3-4...would be too hard pressed in coverage.

 

[33jacket]

I see days at sde next year. With gamble gotsis in the middle most likely.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Thanks for the great news Eric. Next year is going to be fun. Would love to get ND in the Orange Bowl and give them a taste to think about in the off season!!!

 

[awbuzz]

Makes sense. Assume that both will be academically eligible based off of CPJ comment. That is good to see.

Per Ken Sugiura, "Defensive end Kenderius Whitehead cannot become eligible for the bowl game. Whitehead is sitting out the entire year as a transfer, as he did not complete degree requirements at Georgia Military College."
