re: Zalance Heard sets commitment date

is Emery Jones a guard or tackle? If tackle, you believe Heard beats out Jones?

Future C me thinks.

Heard is a little rough around the edges technical wise having not played the OT position that long. As it stands today, I wouldn't expect him to beating anyone out his freshman year.

Having said that...
A) There's plenty of time to change that
B) Neville is a school/staff that does an especially good job of preparing both OL & DL for Div I.
C) The reason us (and everyone else) is so high on Heard is he seems built for the OT position. Glad he made that move But he's got the tools to make use of all the coaching/drilling he will receive from his coaches and via Davis through his coaches.

I fully expect the "rough around the edges" to be gone by the time his Sr. season is over.

Jones is the best Guard prospect they pulled since Ed Ingram.
