If Hall is actually 6-2, 220 (as listed), that's a big ass 18 year old. Lynch was listed at 6-0, 216 as a senior.

Also to note, in the article posted on the website it refers to Smalls as a redshirt last year. Sounded like he already got a medical redshirt.

I see Maddie on the spring roster. Does that mean he has officially been granted another year?

Dang..... I liked Cheren. I wonder why he's not back.

Thought the same thing about Cheren. He was turning into a good player too. Maybe grades?

I don't know that this is the reason Cheren left but he missed some games while in the concussion protocol last year then seemed to get another concussion immediately upon entering the EMU game.

WR Jordan Robinson, the grey shirt 2016 recruit is now listed on the roster as well

Yup. At Alabama St now I believe

Crutchley listed as a coach but not JL. Also noticed a lot of last years freshmen were listed as sophomores not RS-freshman.

Reeves is huge. 6'4" 340.

Offensive Line looks thin.Like to see what Childers or Thompson have this spring. Like to find a surprise somewhere. Not sure you can compete at this level less than 290 lbs in OLine

Which is supposed to be the strength of our head coach

They haven't updated the heights and weights yet. Most of the linemen will have gained weight.

Curious to see how much PT Austin Warner will get in camp.

I think the Oline could be a strength of this team. Definitely looking forward to Warner and a couple of other redshirt frosh getting PT. I talked with a players parents last year and they said he was listed in the program at about 20lbs lighter than what he actually weighed, so take the weights with a grain of salt.

Austin Meeks ? Where gone too?

I think he might be done for good. He couldn't crack the starting lineup on a weak defensive line.

this is from a couple days ago regarding Devin Webster, but he isn't on the spring roster. wonder if that means he was cleared for summer ball. either way, glad we hung on to him

I'll take every 300# DT we can get. The middle of
Our defense is our weakest spot.

Webster is with the team.
