....was one of those buddy scholarships that Croom hands out like candy. He knows his daddy, so the kid got a scholarship when no one else even looked at him.

"Tuberville has had one stellar season in his career and suddenly he talks like he is Knute Rockne, Bear Bryant and Bob Neyland all wrapped into one." - Paul Finebaum, November 1, 2005 "How is our program in shambles? We had the talent to be in a bowl game, or at least compete for it this year. The reason we didn't was coaching. If we make a halfway decent hire, we should be bowling in that guy's first year." - Ole Miss Sheep Rebel Bruiser, on the day they fired O (HDN was later confirmed to be more than a halfway decent hire) |

that Croom knowing Henderson's father played a role in giving the kid a scholarship. He also knew Jonathan Lowe's daddy, but you could make the
argument that Lowe was worth it. Is there anybody else?

which may be a good thing, because Hurst's little brother is a beast of an OL, getting offers from ND and others - see article on BDJ.
Run blocking is, without a doubt, my biggest concern on this team. I think we will find some good DE's. I think our pass blocking will be sufficient. Our WR's will be no worse than last year. But, run-blocking is a concern. I hope that Brignone makes a difference here, because I think he will be more of a road-grader than Anderson was. Sherrod will be fine. Strauder is overrated (especially in the run game) and I really dont know Gates' strengths, but I sincerely doubt that it is pulling. Losing Butler and Dez. Sherrod will be hurt our blocking big time. Kind of makes me wish that we had Addison Lawrence at TE - it is not like the other teams are going to be gameplanning against the receiving threats of Henderson/Green/Hurst anyway. Might as well put a Reggie Kelly type in there and run 6 OL's.

That is exactly who I was thinking of, even as I typed Reggie Kelly. Oh well - Reggie was a hell of a blocker too - but this is what you call a
run-blocker...

Reggie was a QB in high school I think that Watkins was a guard.

is used as a tight end in two tight sets. Or at least I noticed that at the last scrimmage.

"We got Addison Lawrence playing some tackle and he is also out tight end in our short-yardage package. Then we put him in there today at guard and he is
smart enough to do that. Having a swing guy like that gives us some depth."
