just curious to see which incoming freshmen you guys see as prone to making some big impacts on their teams right away. Here's some that come to my mind...



Bryce Brown, Tennessee

Plain and simple, this kid is an electric gamechanger. I think he has elite breakaway speed that he can flip on like a switch right in a hurry. He can be utilized by the Vols in space, in between the tackles, or out of the backfield.




Rueben Randle, LSU

Physically, he looks ready right now. Randle reminds me alot of Tiger receiver Brandon LaFell; he is solid after the catch, can be utilized on slip screens in the slot, or can line out wide. Great route running, hands, concentration, and body control.




Andre Debose, Florida

Just a perfect replacement for Percy Harvin. He will bring to the Gators a similar acceleration and quick cutting ability that Harvin brought to the table for them.




Trent Richardson, Alabama

He is the exact style of running back that Alabama is looking for. He runs with a good combination balance, power (evidence by him running over Jelani Jenkins in the Under Armour game), and speed. He'll be in the RB rotation for the Tide along with Mark Ingram.




Marlon Brown, Georgia

Mohamed Massaquoi is gone, so he'll be another physical wideout for the Dawgs opposite AJ Green and will make Joe Cox or Aaron Murray happy.

really impressed with Richardson

Hope the Tigers can contain him once a year for the next couple of seasons!

Isn't this why they are considered 5 star players?

Nice list. They should help bring the level of play in the SEC up a notch or two this year.

I think for Ole Miss that OL Bobbie Massie could have a big impact this season. He's 6'8 320 and we have a need for depth on the OL although I see Massie starting by game 5.

Pretty amazing that we were down to the wire with 4 out of 5 of those guys. We got 1 of course.

Miles does not get enough credit for his performance sometimes.

And all that and we still end up with the #1 class. Wow.

I'm pretty sure he's JUCO, so he'll be a JR.

I wouldnt count out Dominque Allen. With Ridley's injury and lack of depth at the FB postion, this kid could be a real darkhorse. I could see he and Scott together in the same backfield. Scary on short yardage alone.

I don't expect Brown to make a huge splash bc/ i don't think he's anything special.

Reuben has to beat out some pretty good players too, still not sure on his impact as a freshman.
