Says cornerback is important and didn't have numbers there. Says Jones is a long corner who can run. He's an athlete who has ball skills.

Fans will be glad to hear this ...
Martinez says he wants defenders who have offensive experience and can actually make plays on the ball.
They will actually turn their heads and look for the ball in the air.

Coach Thigpen and coach Jones say Corey Vereen never smiles. So they weren't sure how the visit was going. Then Vereen went to his room, for a guitar and played Rocky Top for the coaches.
