With Thompkins and other highly touted freshmen coming in do you guys think Jones and Moore will still start come next fall... I like them both but neither of them is explosive, I want a game-breaker in there.

I think they will both start. Kiffin will still use the new guys as much as he can, but Jones and Moore have both made some huge plays for us and Kiffin will be able to open the playbook a bit more with veterens of the system running the routes.

Moore.... is a straight baller.

Jones, is still a good receiver, he was hampered with injury most the year.

Both will start. Cue the old, "Bryce will start and Hardesty will move to 3rd string" comments from 6 months ago.

Kiffin plays youth, but sticks with what he believes in. He believes in Moore and Jones.

You've got to remember that WR is a very difficult position to start at as a freshman. Very few do. Julio Jones and A. J. Green were the exception to the rule (remember Marlon Brown? Nu'Keese?). I'm guessing something like this next year.

1. G. Jones (more explosive than you give him credit for, drizzle)
2. D. Moore
3. M. Teague/K. Thompkins
5. M. Ambles

yeaa we will see the one thing that is encouraging is the difference in Cromptons game when there has been the steady starting duo, Jones and Moore working as the 1's all spring and summer should help Stephens a lot the time fall comes around

All will fun to watch next year, almost like we have a full compliment of WRs in the stable.

Thompkins has the best chance to start of the newcomers. Being that he's a junior and college ready. Plus he's enrolling now so he'll be here for the spring and will be able to build a connection with the QB. Ambles will be a No.4 early on. Milton will be a matchup problem if he gets some weight on this spring and summer. It's exciting to have all these possibilities.

Tough question because Thompkins should be in that rotation but the experience Jones and Moore have in the system gives them the leg up. I think Thompkins will be better suited outside so he'll probably come in for Moore or in 4-wide situations. Then again, if you put GJ in the slot and have KT and DM on the outside, that sounds pretty solid.

I am excited about Teague being in the system for another year. He has all conference written all over him before the graduates.

Their experience will only go so far. Thompkins can learn the system this spring. He'll be great on the outside if he plays up to his potential. G.Jones may have a problem holding off Teague in the slot. I expect Teague to take a big step this upcoming year.
