re: Derek Stingley tidbit

I think Jimmy got mixed up and meant 15 spring practices. He's an early enrollee and shows up on campus January 7th. I don't see how he could practice while still in High School technically

The Auburn TE who signed and tore his ACL was an EE and participating in the bowl practices so I had the same question. I guess they are technically enrolled just not in classes because it's between semesters?

Anyway, Stingley has me so amped. He seems like a great kid and is very well spoken. And that's before even getting into his football skills.

From what it sounds like he's so advanced he could probably practice 15 practices and suit up for the Fiesta Bowl I'm quite sure that's not possible but would be awesome

The kid is going to be a superstar. He is very humble, respectful, and understands that he has a responsibility to represent his family and community with the talent the Lord has blessed him with. He also is an extremely hard worker. When your best player is also your hardest worker, good things happen

Then we'd be Notre Dame. Thugs win football games. Miami showed the way long ago.
Besides, great character can be erased in an instant. Remember Jeryl Brazil? He was Mr nice guy, a great character kid, until he wasn't. Where's he now?

I knew when I saw this kids film and footwork that he would be special. I'm serious that this kid could play pro football tomorrow and be one of if not the best corner in the league.

Not only will he start next year but he'll be our best cover guy and tackler in the secondary. I hope he's the type that goes after the ball like Matheiu was and like White has done many times. I know he is while the ball is in the air but I'm talking about when he goes to tackle as well. We need more players like that on this defense.

I think this team will be very good next year. I hope we see some progression from the offense and OL/WRs specially. I want to see more jump balls when we play teams with average DBs. Steve E needs to let this offense develop and take chances. I think we'll come out on the winning side much more if we do take chances. More over the middle passes. I also believe this run game will be much better next year even the starters we had this year will be much better. Lanard Fournette will be a very good player for us. Then you add the big time freshman and this should be a good ground game. Let Burrow do his thing and not worry about injuries, just dominate man. Stop worrying about little crap and dominate.
