No. I figure the coaches know what they're doing, and trusting them. Yes, because like any of you, I'n starved for Vol-ball, so anything remotely related to it is desirable. That said, my guess is the depth chart will reflect whoever earns their position battles.Do we have any question marks and position battles going into fall camp?

That’s really unfortunate about Seldon. Sampson must stay healthy.Seldon won’t be back until October maybe.
Bru and Thorntonstill needs time as well to get up to playing shape after healing.

Fulmer would have had this figured out by now. He just needed a sabbatical! No sabbatical no secondary!Since the secondary was of such a concern and we had a mass exodus, for those of you who pay more attention and follow more closely, how are we looking in the secondary compared to last season. I understand that, at one time, we had schollys left to hand out?
Yeah I hate it for him, but sometimes the body just doesn’t act right. Jabari Small dealt with a similar issue as did Darrin Kirkland Jr.That’s really unfortunate about Seldon. Sampson must stay healthy.

Webb has already proven he belongs. He (and Nimrod) has gotten better over time. That’s why I put him in the starting rotation. It wouldn’t surprise me if Thornton and Brazzell end up starting but are unproven atp.I like it...only thing I disagree on is WR. I do not see Webb starting ahead of Thornton and Brazzell.

I sincerely hope they take over and ball out. Nico will be in hog heaven with those two big bodies in the SEC. Thornton definitely looked like he was about to turn a corner against Misery before the injury. How has he recovered? Early reports have been high on him.Agree he's a solid option but neither he nor Nimrod have proven to be much more than that. Brazzell at Tulane and in Spring game showed really good downfield speed and playmaking ability. Thornton was coming into his own at the end of the season before his injury and with him being exclusively on the outside now I think he picks back up where he left off.
I think Thornton may be getting squeezed out. Yes, he did improve until the injury. But I think he was brought here based on potential, and based on who has since been recruited and transfers coming in, better production and equal young talent will potentially limit his playing time.Agree he's a solid option but neither he nor Nimrod have proven to be much more than that.

Once we got him outside, he looked a little bit more natural,” wide receivers coach Kelsey Pope said, “and it was unfortunate that he dealt with that injury right after that transition, but he’s picked up right where he left off. He’s been consistent this spring. He’s been playing fast. We’re trying to make sure we’re watching his player load and his volume to make sure we keep him healthy, but he’s competed at a high level.
“He’s had really good energy this spring. He’s done a great job of leading us as well. He’s vocal in that room. A lot of guys look to him for answers and advice. He’s done an awesome job of being able to be that leader for us – one of those leaders for us – so far.”
