luke sanders started on the outside. Granted he sucked, but still started. Not at MLB tho, you are right

You do realize that Muncie had some kind of illness and he kept losing weight. I don't know if he was 200 pounds by season end.

It wasn't like he was sucking so bad they couldn't wait to get him out of there.

And as far as the race stuff, Jacob Cutrera says hello from Tampa.

I'd be surprised if Welter ends up starting. Having said that, I think it says something that he backed up Minter in Atlanta, and not one of the freshmen.

Maybe they wanted to get him game reps to evaluate him vs. the freshmen going forward.

looks like welter will get his shot at starting ,but chavis will move a couple guys to middle,whoever starts i trust the man getting paid to make those decisions...there is too much talent at lb we will be ok...as for welter he may be ready to step up.

Just like T Jones getting the start in the bowl game. Was it to reward him for the time he put in with the scout team while he was suspended?

Good question. I don't know the answer to that to be honest. What's interesting is, for much of the season, there was a reluctance to spell Minter with a backup -- remember how many snaps he played against Florida before he started cramping? -- but Welter played normal backup snaps in the bowl game.

They have a ton of LB talent, but Alexander, Louis and Jones all seem more like OLBs than MLBs to me. Maybe that won't be the case any more this year.

The last really good white SEC LB I can remember was Hunter Hillenmeyer at Vandy a decade ago. Maybe I'm missing somebody.

Jarrett Johnson was good, but he may have played DE.

From what I've seen of Welter is he lacks closing speed I would be shocked if he started
My guess will be
Alexander
Barrow
Jones
