If he is that torn i would guess he will be a gator, the kid seems to like the attention and spotlight. Lets face it, he'll get much more of that as a gator.if that is the case, bring on curry! Actually i hope we take them both, dt seems a bit weak at the moment.

I'm much more concerned about CB and DE than I am DT.

DT's were pretty banged up this year but we return;

Seniors-Steinkuhler and J.Jackson, Junior-Randle, Sophomores- Rome and Guy, Redshirt Freshman- Peat and K.Williams

DE we will be deep for 2012 but that list includes 4 Seniors. That only leaves Junior Ankrah, Sophomores Okuyemi, Vestal and Ashburn (None of them have seen a down of significant action). Add incoming Freshman McMullen and Moss. That's a pretty inexperienced group for 2013.

CB depth is fairly similiar with 5 Juniors in 2012 (Green, Evans, D.Washingtion, Seisay and Jean-Baptiste). Sophomore Josh Mitchell and thin pickings after that.

Arguement can be made for safety too but point being that DT I am not too concerned about, doesn't mean I wouldn't take VV and Curry if we can get them. Would be great additions.

I'm very concerned about CB and thedefensive backfield as a whole. Its not a suprise they've tried to pick up a few guys late in that area. Mitchell is back but it wouldn't shock me to see him bolt as he's a risk. I know Cooper has kind of bounced around but I think he'll end up a LB if spring works out. We're going to be thin there if CJ doesn't make it by fall. They thought he would be here for spring ball and the score didn't happen. He'll have this spring to get it and if he doesn't get it I'm not sure the poor guy will ever get here.

 
CB is definitely our weakest position depth wise. Mo will be a stud, but anyone after that I don't trust yet.

Folks said the same about Braylon Heard and look what happened with that

Didn't Braylon do a year in JUCO? I think Jackson opted to try and retake his ACT so he could get here this January but couldn't raise his score. As I understand it, if Jackson had done the one non-football playing year in JUCO, we'd have had him this coming fall with four years to play. Sometimes kids just hit a brick wall with tests like the ACT and can't do any better.

What sucks is that I remember an episode of Big Red Wrap Up this last fall where they checked in with Jackson and he was dying to get up here.

Heard did the same thing CJ is trying to do now. No juco.

The St Louis Dispatch has VV the #2 senior in the St Louis metro area only behind Durron Neal, a wide receiver headed to OU. We have a lot of decent talent in this area, and I hope VV makes the right choice and chooses N.
