It seems to me we have a really solid group there.

Mike Jones looked really good towards the end of last season


"really good"? I'd say that's overstating it. He was able to get on the field (unlike earlier) and contribute.

Greg Penn has been named as a standout and looked really good in spring.


hope this is true

Micah Baskerville as a back up is a guy we were worried about losing to the NFL last year.



worried about NFL? No.

quote:

West Weeks is also a guy who played really well as a freshman last year, a lot of people are very high on him.



Hope so.

quote:

Then you have Harold Perkins.



This is the one line I probably agree with. Still, he's a freshman.

quote:

Not to mention Jared Small, who has proven he can play in the SEC


In no universe can you support this claim.

as well as big time recruit DeMario Tolan.


Doubt he's ready, but hope he is.

Your entire post is a very optimistic view to reach a predetermined conclusion.

We were?

I was. Then again, I wasn’t one of the knuckleheads criticizing Damone Clark two years ago. I was fairly certain he would be an NFL all star, just as I’m fairly sure Baskerville will be a starter in the NFL.

Perkins will emerge as a star this year ala Mathieu. Book it.

The head coach said that Perkins had “it” and moved “different” from everyone else. He implied that Perkins was by far the best in the class. So, yeah, he is going to be great.
