Lmao Ole Miss? He looks awful in crimson.

Pegues told Rivals today that AU still leads. He's leaning towards committing & signing on the same day in December.

Good to hear. I like him a lot. Holy poop I didn't realize how close we are to December.

Let's stay on him!

If he does sign with us, hopefully we can use him the same way Arkansas uses that big TE that they have

With Gilbert going to LSU, should we worry about Bama here?

Haven’t seen any new info since the Gilbert commit. Before he committed though it was thought Bama could be a threat but AU was still ahead comfortably.

Hope you are right. I could see a Bammer press starting though which never makes me feel good (for the last decade or so)

Well think about this. The TE and HB are considered one position now. We’ve had catches by Wilson, Shanker, & Nigh. Also there are many other teams aren’t using the position as much as people think they might be doing. UGA Is a glaring example

It still should be a lot more when it comes to 42. I think that is Wilson. That dude is talented! I enjoy watching him play! He reminds me of Gabe McKenzie. Another guy who was not used as much as his talent and athleticism dictated.

Agreed!

[ellitor 33,062]

FWIW Bama still appears to have 2 other TEs higher on the board in Darnell Washington & Theo Johnson.

I keep waiting for Wilson to have a break out game. I agree, he's that dude. And I am encouraged that we've used that group, along with Canella, a little more.

Will also be interesting to track Deal's usage.

Won't be surprised if he doesn't get any touches. AU signed him to be a blocker.

Was it Fromm who can catch the ball? Or is he a blocker, too? I can never keep them straight.

Fromm is expected to be a receiving weapon yes.

Is Pegues still projected to be a Tight End? Wasn't there some chatter during the summer of him moving to another position?

Strictly fans talk of DT. He wants to only be a TE.

I would love to hear what these AU TE recruits have to say about our recent occasional use of Sal as a TE/WR tweener.

Sal's been exclusively a WR since right after he got to AU FWIW.
