It's about a month to go, but there is time to figure it out after camp. If they continue the tradition, I'd assume it'll be announced after camp.

It will be decided during camp, but I believe that’s up to BK to decide on a timeline.
Maybe he wants to see how a couple guys perform the first couple days of practice before he makes a decision. Players used to vote on 18, but not sure how BK does it.

I think 18 will be Josh Williams or Maason smith. I’d like to see a defensive guy get #7 (note that BK says it goes to a player from LA).

18 will probably be Josh Williams , 7 I’d guess would be Nabers or Maason

Off topic but looks like it’s a given that no one can wear 9.

Hasn’t been touched since tGoat left

Let it die on the vine. Kayshon wearing 7 and acting like a bitch soured it.

If the OP knows, as he should, that this place DESPISES the tradition of the numbers 7 and 18..... then you wouldn't ask.

Give John emery jr number 7!!!

I don’t give a shite about the numbers. But I’d get a chuckle out of that.

If I had a vote I would pick 18 for Josh Williams and 7 for Jayden Daniels.

Also going forward I would be highly selective in handing these numbers out. There could be a year where no one gets 7 before the season but could earn it during the season, especially 7. I don’t think it should automatically go to the best DB or Skill player. 18 is sort of easier to define. No matter the year team leaders always step up and separate themselves from
The pack and I think Williams applies here just as past 18’s have done in the past

Don't give a shite... See how that crap has backfired on every guy who wore 7 since the transfer from Texas Tech did not come close to holding down the tradition. Even Boutte pouted and played like shite with that number last year.

I heard it’s going to be Jonathan Giles. Kid was legit at Texas Tech last year.

That crap started with Miles and kept going with Orgeron. It needs to go away, just like those two knucklehead coaches

Would be nice to see a QB wearing 18 again. That’s where it started and it’s always nice when the true team leader is playing the most important position. Daniels seems to have the aptitude for it.

It’s time for 7 to stop.

As a long time fan it’s not a big deal.

But I’m not on the team. If it’s a big deal for the coaches and more important the players then I’m all for it. Let them do what they need to do to build up morale and to reinforce leadership.
