That school sure has been good to UAB! You are probably right about the redshirts..........McCollum could possibly sneak in some playing time, as he had some pretty good offers, we'll see. I love seeing how the different new players fit in!

It's a very good program that is well-coached and always has crazy speed.

Do you expect the younger Reaves get any playing time this year? I noticed he had good size, and being Darrin's brother, you would think he'd be pretty athletic too.

I thought Andra Smith was a DL?

This, I think DT is the weakest spot on the defense. Andra is a DT as he is wearing a green jersey in photos. Tevin Crews and Brandon Fuller both number 31 can't be on the field at the same time so Crews is number 23 in some photos.

JJ Green added to roster

That's good to hear........pretty slim though, and a couple of those are Srs. Maybe we'll see a lot of 3 man fronts, as there are a bunch of DE's to work with.

Yes, because of his own talent, not just because of his brother.

That's good to hear, we should be able to rotate serveral WR's, when needed.

With so many receivers in the mix, I honestly don't know.

With so many WR's already there, it's funny that they already have 3 more WR commitments to date-lol.

Who is going to long snap?

when I read chronic ailment my first thought was you were not talking about an injury
