Happy Monday

July 22, 2024: This is a time when you can bring to a conclusion things that have been a bother or concern. The door will be opened to deal with issues that have seemed to be insurmountable. Do not hesitate to take the next step; it will be one step at a time in putting things in order, says the Lord. Put your trust in Me. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
It has been amazing how often these line up with something I’m going though. Thank you for posting.

Do you create these on your own? Just curious.
 
There hasn't been a lot of noise about anyone. There's a possibility that Seldon will be back sooner rather than later. Desean Bishop will probably be RB #2 or 3 until Seldon returns.

One of the db's is probably gonna be a walk-on that's been playing well. People seem to think Bloop Carter will be getting a lot of PT.

There hasn't been much buzz yet. You haven't missed much. We'll start hearing more accurate stuff in a few weeks when fall practice starts.
Appreciate it.
 
Yeah my predictions as of now is that the secondary will have the most unexpected lineup.

At this point not sure who the 4 or 5 guys are even going to be...names I'd project starting somewhere as of today.

0 - William Wright, he's the former walk-on but has been here 4 years and is a RS-Sr.
2 - Andre Turrentine, entering 3rd year and has played in 23 games the last 3 last year he started as well

I think those 2 are most likely playing early and likely starting. The other guys I think will play, but not sure they'll start or not are as follows in order of likelihood they start.

4 - Jourdan Thomas, entering year 3 and likely the STAR starter
3 - Jermod McCoy, 1st year here transfer from Oregon State but seems to have the size and skillset to be playing early and often
9 - Jakobe Thomas, MTSU transfer and has really good size at 6'2" 200lbs could see him in the mix, lots of experience although at a lower level

Younger guys that were recruited here that were highly rated and could take over
1 - Rickey Gibson III
23 - Boo Carter
24 - Jordan Matthews
25 - Kaleb Beasley
 
VQ discussed DB starters during last pod. Their opinion:

Starters
CB - Gibson
CB - McCoy
S - Turrentine
S - (Will Brooks, J. Slaughter or Jak Thomas)
STAR - Jo Thomas

2nd
CB - McMurray
CB - Matthews
S - 1 from above
S - 1 from above
STAR - Boo Carter

If Boo Carter ends up beating out Jordan Thomas at STAR. Jordan Thomas would probably start at Safety.
 
Couple items

1) Bru McCoy will be a 1,000 yard receiver, book it. Boss.

2) Multi million dollar budget and we show up with a fuzzy mushroom mic, that players have to hold.

Reminds me of a low budget Triumph interview. View attachment 660916
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think Bru will have a quiet year.

He has never had much quickness, and who knows how he comes back from that nasty injury.

I think he'll get a lot of run in some early games like NC State and Oklahoma, as a guy who knows this offense as well as anyone. But I think he's the third best WR out of himself, Brazzel, and Squirrel. With WR being as deep as it is, could see him getting phased out a bit as the season goes on by Thornton, Nimrod, or even Matthews.

Doubt they paid Jakobe not to start him, unless he’s not that good.

I'm just now getting to the rating of different position groups and I gotta say all the ones I'm seeing so far are sleeping on LB'S!

I think the linebackers are going to be nasty this year!
Feels like Arion Carter has been kinda forgotten. People were really high on him last year. Maybe he makes a big jump.
