It looks like being a EE really helped Cody Blanc. Croom passes the eye test, McCullers is huge, and Q still has dreads so he will be good.

Yeah. Phillips could lose a few lbs.
Blanc looks pretty solid. Hopefully WR was the right position call.

Thanks for the photos. Blanc definitely looks the part. Can't wait to see how some of the newcomers fit in with the vets over the next month.

Blanc is all of 200 lbs and can move..........I heard Croom was 230 and McCullers is in great shape for 370....the staff has Hood at DE bc they are so pleased with him (granted its early).
This team is so so so so much larger than 2 years ago. I really dont think size is a problem this season nor speed (except maybe at DB....esp for our experienced DBs)........this year will come down to doing the little things and competing.

They need to find Phillips a bigger uniform his looks a little tight. I wonder if the extra weight on Blanc will hurt his speed?

These players are definitely bigger (and look stronger) than the last few freshman classes. If that translates into on-field performance, the rest of the SEC might need to adjust their game plans...

The official roster lists him as Omari Phillips. It's been mentioned a couple of times on the boards, although nobody has offered an explanation for the change...
