Bruh shea even said he was taking first team reps today at ILB. He will most certainly start at some point this season. And might even be against wisky.


So? I'm not saying he won't see PT, I just don't think he's going to start.

Well, I think Johnson is the most talented WR on our roster. Hope he gets some targets.

WTF? What has he shown that would make you even remotely think that?

FWIW I think TJ is one of the most talented receivers we have as well. Very smooth, fast, great hands, good route running from the little I have seen him. I know high school tape isn't worth shite in college but if you watch it you can see the talent the guy has. Problem is at LSU some of the guys that rarely see the field are very good ball players but for one reason or another don't see too much action and it could be for something very minor. Lots of talent everywhere

Aranda bounced around to nearly every position group on defense, while Juluke helped the Tigers work on the running game as Craig worked the receivers through ball security drills and more.

Why? Chark is not a surprise. Hell, I'm surprised we didn't see him a lot more last year. The receiver depth on this roster is outstanding, we knew that coming in.

Makes me wonder about T.Johnson


I think he's crosswise with the coaches. He finished last year in the third spot, then was moved in spring to the bottom of the depth chart. Something's wrong.

I'm worried about our kicking game without Trent. Seems like Gamble is our #2 kicker and wasnt he primarily signed for kickoffs? That's all he's done here so our only kicker with experience is Colby, hope he gets healthy soon

Probably should have used a different term. I think TJ3 has the highest ceiling of our receiver group.

Calm down people. This isn't a jab at Dupree,Dural or Chark.

As I recall Gamble didn't attempt many FGs or XPs even in high school. He just kicked off.

I'd be really surprised if White is starting before game 5 or 6, if at all. JMO, of course.


I think White will be starting by Jacksonville St. The kid is that much of a wrecking ball.

I read it as you just described, and I can agree also. Pure, raw talent wise, I could also see TJ3 having the most (as well as the most potential) of our receiving group. I think he has everything there to be an OBJ type player/receiver (speed may not be the same).

Yeah, but that's a far cry from THE best. Malachi Dupre is severly underrated. He is probably the best WR in America. He is definitely better than A&M's guy or Bama's. Watch where he's drafted. I'll be very surprised if he's not the first wideout taken.

It's not a question of talent. I's about knowing the plays. Remember neither Beckwith nor Minter could get on the field consistently until midway through their second year. Maybe White is smarter i hope so.

We need him comfortably entrenched by the Bama game.

Well, everyone is new to this system, thus on somewhat equal footing.
