He's the #2 back on the nation's #1 offense and top5 team. He has a real shot of jumping to #1.Y’all remember when I said there’s no need to think about who is on the roster until fall camp?
I was sort of kidding. Never dreamed we would have to be wondering if a player like Wright, that was established in the #1 offense and getting plenty of playing time with more to come, would be leaving to go to NC. Was just worried about players like Walker not wanting to wait.
Gotta keep in mind he hasn’t even officially entered the portal. Remember last year when Baron entered then withdrew, or the countless players that have done the same across the country? Let’s not be too chicken little around here. It would be a bummer if he left, but let’s wait until the dust settles
Paxton was a captain. I saw him staring Clemson down at the coin toss. But no one -- even BY --gave them a harsher glare than good ole Hendo Cinco, crutches or no crutches.Word of our punter beat down must have been legend at Orange Bowl week. You know they know. Buddy entered the portal and heard Tennessee was calling and turned right the hell around.
This is one of my favorite stories that this site has producedTell me more….?
I have a source... this is what I was told:
LJD was jawing with Mack/coaches all practice. At some point, probably during a special teams period, he and Paxton Brooks got into an altercation and Brooks kicked his a$$. Then LJD got up and went after a coach and Heup stepped in and said "you're gone." Kid is a headcase. Certainly sounds like he expected to get 1st team reps on Day 1 and was getting frustrated.
Another one on signing day? Is this from your friend? Does he think we flip an unsigned back? Most of the highly rated ones are already signed, but there are a few that are not. Like Cobb.Personally, I’m not worried about RB at all. Plenty will be available in the portal, and maybe get another one on signing day…..
Seems logical to me. But we don’t know if maybe he heard what they were going to pay someone coming or, or if someone came along with a ridiculous offer to get him to come there. Who knows!He's the #2 back on the nation's #1 offense and top5 team. He has a real shot of jumping to #1.
There is no better situation for his future anywhere that is better than the position he's currently in.
Maybe he wants more money now and is willing to risk a shot at millions by downgrading, learning a new system, and competing for a roster position.
Hopefully he isn't listening to any idiots suggesting he should do this.
With Walker now entering the portal (allegedly), Thornton is damn near a must get at this point. I also see why AP mentioned potentially going after a 2nd WR (I would assume at Slot) as well. We have no one behind Squirrel at the moment and his size will always be a concern if he can make it thru a season.
I like our young WRs on the outside though, think we good there for the future.
A lineup of Bru, Keyton/Thornton, and Squirrel would be awesome. Would be great if Seldon can get up to speed enough to be that backup slot wr behind Squirrel. This spring will be huge for a lot of young guys and how we attack that 2nd portal window in May.
