Dale Carter or Charlie Garner Has to be a toss up

Carter had an instant impact I thought for his return abilities. Forgot that Gibril was even a transfer. Where did he come from NE OK?

Good picks. Garner came to mind immediately.

How about Chuck Smith and Chris(?) Mims? If I remember correctly, both came the same year and both were pivotal for our D-line (if not in their junior year at least in their senior year)

Some trivia: Who was the Juco choice that didn't make the team (academics I think) and as a result, Garner got the nod? In other words, this RB was the first choice ahead of Garner?

I know he got arrested before he played his first game, but who remembers Trvais Cozart?

I do, I played b-ball against him in HS. I don't think he ever passed the SAT though.

You beat me to it on Chuck Smith, he was a pretty good DE on the pass rush. Chris Mimms was good too, both had a career in theh NFL.

But Dale Carter may have been the best, he was a stud.

No takers on the trivia question about Charlie Garner?

Originally, the Vols went after LeShon Johnson - he insteaded ended up at NIU when I was there. He came up about 50 yards short of 2000 rushing yards in his senior season!

The first game I went to at NIU, he took a pitch from their own 8 yard line and went 92 for a TD!

He had 5 TD's and over 300 yards in that game and he left the game after 3 quarters!

Played for NY Giants and Ariz Cards for a while.

Whenever Dale Carter was back to receive a punt, you knew something was going to happen. Something really good or really bad :p

All good choices.

Dale was awesome.

I do believe Jesse has the opportunity, the skills, and the hunger to be the best juco we've ever had.

Heck, Jesse could have a break out year and be the best at his position we've EVER had period.

That may be overstepping it a little. I just need the season to start I guess. :p
