Sam Craft,

Starting Running back...That is an interesting development.

Yeah, that is "very interesting" as they used to say on Laugh-In.

As I recall Fuente has said that we'll probably see a lot of guys at the RB position. Fresh and less prone to injury.

Either some folks had really good camps and leapfrogged a few incumbents, or Fuente is trying to send a bit of a message to some folks, or both

Thanks for sharing

Wow. Interesting. What's with Avery at linebacker. I don't see his name.

I agree - a bit of a surprise. I DO trust this staff though.

No Dorceus?

Wow--the O line starters average 308 and the reserves go in at 298.

I've learned that coach fuente's public depth chart give you no clue on who'll play

At FanFest I noticed he was hanging away from the rest of the team. He was over by the cars in the parking lot whereas the other players were in the grass of Tiger Lane. Coach, LB Wynn and Paxton were in RV with line of people eager to meet them. When I sought out Dorceus he had a bit of an attitude, he had just argued with someone. Had a pretty good convo with him and he lightened up with a big ole smile (not DeAngelo big but ya know). Said his legs felt good "I'm 100%. Both knees feel great. I'm ready to play every down." I had the same thought....No Dorceus? But I love Sam Craft too!

BTW: I asked Sam about basketball. He said "I want to play both SO bad." He's a great athlete. Was great at both in HS. Just like Shaq Goodwin.

And not necessarily a good one for our chances this year. It should be Dorceus/Cooper all day with the fresh meat filling in. Craft was not impressive at RB besides gashing a terrible Cindy defense that Stammers could have done same to.

Jared Gentry will have a monster career if he stays healthy. I am not surprised to see him crack the 2 deep as a true freshman.

Maybe it has something to do with suspensions from the brawl. I could be wrong

Yes, yes, I spoke to Gentry at Fanfest and has a massive body for a freshman. Give him one year of weight training and the right diet and the sky's the limit for him.

He was a steal out of AL and AL and Auburn will be sorry they did not recruit him!

So are we beginning to approach the $EC average OL weight? Believe we're headed in the right direction...

Within in 5 lbs of Alabama's projected starting line but have a ways to go to catch LSU's but what an amazing improvement in such a short time

With the pace we play our OLine may never be huge with Fuente. Those guys have to be in good shape.

Plenty of guys in the 2 deep will see the field this year. We may not have a bunch of seniors next year but we will have guys with experience. And, the guys coming up are as good, if not better than the guys starting this year. We have recruited well on the OL.
