Spring Practice Who to watch for?

[GTech63]

The new recruits are great additions but won't be here until Summer and we won't know very much about them until Fall practice starts. Who do you see flying under the radar that we expect to come on strong for making us better next year. Or who to keep an eye on in the Spring game. How do you see the Leggets, Juenes, doing this Fall.

I hope this is not too early to start, but hearing all the accolades for those not reporting until Summer, I thought it would be good to hear similar thoughts of guys that have not yet seen the playing field or at least very little PT. Maybe review HS highlights and how we thought they would contribute and where and how do we see them contributing now. Two months to Spring practice lots of time to discuss.

Howell I hope. We need some guys that can fill some big shoes early. Gary brown/Shamire Devine will replace Shaq. With this combo we should be okay as the season goes along.

 

[DrJacket]

Gary Brown has my attention. Trey Klock will be turned loose to see what he can do, and he should be filled out a little more then. Ricky Jeune might emerge at WR. Qua Searcy should play his way into a rotation at A-back, I believe.

Over on the D, it's time to find out what Francis Kallon can do. Antonio Simmons might surprise. Kendarius Whitehead will hopefully force the issue a bit at end.

 

[Eric]

Some good ones listed above.

For me

Qua Searcy
Gary Brown
CJ Leggett
Kenderius Whitehead
Jabari
Matthew Jordan

Of course all the EE's...Quaide, Howell, Bryan and Cerge-Henderson.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

So, no matter what, Jabari can participate in the Spring practice?

 

[chrsw003]

Searcy, don't care where he plays but want him on the field.

 

[collegeballfan]

Anxious to see if Cerge-Henderson will be in playing shape by the spring game or if he is going to be another September 1st decision.

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

I would love to have at least one back with potential to take it the house at any time. Ala Allen/Smith/Dwyer.

 

[96Jacket]

For me, all the guys coming off their redshirt years: Gary Brown, CJ Leggett, Tre Jackson, Jalen Johnson, Qua Searcy, Clinton Lynch, etc.

 

[GTech63]

looks like there will have to be some freshmen A backs and B backs on the playing field this fall. Searcy practiced at A back, Lynch also??

 

[UgaBlows]

Whitehead

 

[gt365]

I agree all the redshirts guys from last year! Can't wait to see what they do in the spring game. I think jalen johnson will be anxious to see the field this year at safety! CJ got big shoes to fill. Trey klock, Gary and Qua etc.....

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

On D...Jabari, Simmons, Rod Rook, Merriweather, and how ths SS spot unfolds.
On O...CJ, Qua, Summers, Jeune, Brown.

 

[JazzyD95]

Want to see Lynn griffin break out, high hopes but not banking on it.
Gary brown, Klock, Andrew Marshall, Legget, a 260 pound KeShun, Howell, Simmons.
Hope Milton can take the next step
DJ White will be scary good this year

 

[Northeast Stinger]

Everyone has already listed everybody I can think of. If I had to just talk about a few guys it would be as follows:

Jabari because he has really gotten big and because of what Shaq said about him.
Gary Brown because he got similar comments from defensive players in practice going against him.
Leggett because he was basically ready to go this past season and CPJ seems to be really high on him.
Whitehead because he was actually my favorite defensive player in his class and if he can clear academic hurtles he will be a monster.
The Austin twins because they will be a year further in their development.

Ryan Braswell BB 5-11 211 His HS high lights show him to be a pretty good candidate for B back. Played in TO offense as B back. Have not heard his name mentioned so must not be catching the coaches eye.

Whitehead doesn't have any more academic hurdles. He's good to go.

 

[GTech63]

Justin Bryan BB Is there any possibilty he can contribute this year?
