re: SI SEC Preview Magazine re: Ware

Blue has the greatest potential amongst any of our backs in the pros.

Ford will be productive there.

Ware's punishing style will have him fading in terms of a professional career long before the others. Just puts his body under too much duress.

Hilliard has the ability to be a feature back in the NFL in time. As does Hill. But that's way down the road (at least three years obviously).

Some folks may sleep on him but I think if Terrance Magee could redshirt this year, he'd be unbelievable as a RS Sophomore next year. He seems to be really caught in a logjam behind our trio of Juniors & Hilliard. Putting a year between he & Kenny would really set things up nicely going forward with him & Jeremy Hill being in the same class.

I think Magee could start at tailback for many SEC programs and to not utilize him properly would show not only the embarrassment of riches this program has at that spot but also a bit of an oversight on the part of the staff. It was not wise-at all-to not redshirt him last year.

Then again, knowing we were taking Hill & redshirting Magee could've been a bit of a negative recruiting angle for others in terms of going after guys like Fournette in '14.

Anyway re: Ware, don't be surprised if he's a tad further down the pecking order than some of you think. This year's running game will be a tad different. The passing game will open the run-lanes up some more & we'll need kids to hit the crease at top speed & Blue & Ford both have top-end speed superior to Spencer.

On top of that, Ware was hobbled in the offseason program by a leg injury that really kept him from keeping up from a conditioning standpoint. He's better now but he's actually practicing himself into shape. Its retarded his development and that could translate into reps on the field. Again just my opinion so take that FWIW.
