Can I say Patrick and Smith?

Riley Ferguson.... I think this was a really intriguing pick up in a spot that needs plenty of competition for 2013 if Bray heads out to the draft.

None atm, granted I like some of these guys especially these guys who aren't rated yet. Can't wait to see how outsiders view this class after their fall evaluations. I trust the coaches know talent when they can watch film and get them on campus. Film can fool you, but laying eyes in person will tell you the truth. I can't believe either Dooley and Sunseri can't evaluate talent, Saban had them coaching his team. Saban is no fool, great coaches have great assistants.

I'll also say Camion Patrick at WR. I realize that this position is already loaded with talent, but I really like this young man both on and off the field. Can't wait to have him take the field. Carr and Miles are also SEC caliber players.

Think I'll go with you OA.

I don't disagree with you at all - I think Smith is a nice player, based on what I've seen of him - but I wouldn't call him a possession receiver. He was timed at 4.51 in the 40, and people who have watched him run think he'd be in the 4.4s with a little training on how to run the 40. He's fast.

I cannot see that level of excitement in just one of these players, but I am excited that this is a core group of players that excites me for the near future years as a team. I sometimes forget that this is a team game, and we will see the fruits of this class as they mature. The excitement for me has been that each player adds depth at positions of needs. The excitement for this class is still ahead of us.

De'Vondre Campbell:

I think our linebackers could be something special next year. Campbell seems like a freak a leek athlete, so him and Too Legit to Quit Megit are freakazoids. I love what our defense is building and i think Campbell could be a special piece.

Z. Barnes, only played 2yr of organized football. His dad played in the NFL and I'm sure he could get him in on some great sessions with some top LB's from the league. He has good size and speed.
