Watch out for Malik Willis. This kid is going to be a stud if Lindsey is the QB developer that everyone says he is. Malik's upside is out of this world. 

THIS with willis!

also, Gatewood practices at QB, but plays wherever he is needed. He HAD a D1 kid ahead of him. He will be THE QB this year at Bartram trail, and we will see what he has. I think he has the ability to be as good as he wants. CAM size, arm strength, leadership ability...

If he doesn't make QB, he will be the best TE AU has signed in 20 years.

Solomon is not coming to AU.

Johnson, Taylor, Lasater, and hopefully Parks are all takes. Parks is sorta just out there, I don't know his story.

The first three are all players IMO.

Prediction: Malik becomes a serious factor at QB once stidham moves on.

The fact he was not heavily recruited doesn't bother me. 

Changing schools/positions can cause someone to slip through the cracks.

He won the State Title in the highest division in GA, running an offense similar to ours.

WDE!

He (Gatewood) could be a heckuva TE. He is just an incredible ATH.

I just like the kid. Be interesting to see what he does this year.

Not assigning nor projecting. Just being real about what he hopes to do if things go well.

I understand. I have just become a tad superstitious in this regard. Nothing personal. I hope he kills it!

Had no idea we had Malik already project for a draft spot..........sorry couldn't resist

You know what I mean. That was a reference to JJ somewhat. I just don't want to jinx Stidham. 

He was very good in the playoffs this year. 

Led a 00:58 70 yard TD drive to send the final against Grayson into OT.

Roswell has a big OT we are close to offering perhaps. Big kid.

I hate when we project a kid to leave early, before he ever starts a game. Our prognostication has been skewed on those kids lately. 

I just want to see Stidham throw a TD pass first, before we assign him a draft spot. 

The injuries are a concern with LN.

Gatewood is a year behind obviously. He is a bit taller IIRC.

Both are very raw. Hopefully JG gets all the snaps this next year.

Trying to decide if it's good or bad that none of our WRs from possibly the best WR recruiting class ever really don't seem to be challenging for starting positions.

 

Obviously that could change as the year goes on, but I thought at least one of them would be pushing for some serious playing time from the beginning.

STAHP. You are overthinking it. It will all work out.

God I hope he doesn't but stranger things have happen. Right now I would not be shocked if Woody plays by years end.

Maybe, but I hope it is because he is just killing it, and not because we have nothing else.  

Herb Hand has already earned his salary IMO. Now, just lock down Brahm's!

It doesn't hurt that we have Kerryon & Malik of course, either.

Have to give credit where credit is due here Dix...... Horton.

I agree, just saying that having a guy more known for development as OL Coach seems to have maybe pushed a few to make the call.

Horton is the man. You won' ever hear me say otherwise!

Glad to see you around Dix. How's life treating you on the AUC boards?

I don't spend my life on any board, but, my life in and of itself is great. Heading down to FL on Friday. Golf...Fambly...Seafood. Prosper.

Apparently, AT decided after BCW, said he knew after that.

yep, mine too

Or, just your fave?

Really impressed at camp apparently. He has almost 2 yrs to grow before he arrives. (Unless he is an EE)

What's with these homies dissin' my girl?

I had never seen the ASYLUM before, but am sure I belong.

The way some of these threads get derailed so quickly, I think a medicine sales rep could make a killing saling ADHD meds to some of us. :big:/>

Don't you mean medical/pharmaceutical sorry couldn't resist

Golf, I left you a message. Check when you get a chance. Thanks

Well??? What did it say?

He won't have to play next year barring a catastrophe. I would imagine a RS as he learns the position. What he has is athletic ability through the roof and is a nice specimen for Coach Smith to mold.

There will be many offers. Until we get to where we can pick and choose.

The thing about Ace Atkins was that game with those two big hits were the highlight of his career. He was a backup player that saw very little action. I want to say one of the DEs was hurt for that game, and that would be why he saw action. It was either Willie Whitehead or Alonzo Etheridge's. I want to say that Ace Atkins is an author now. He was profiled in the Sports Illustrated that commemorated the 2010 season.

Thanks for sharing this WE1982. That is where I believe we will be returning very soon as well. Guys were ready to play! Those are some of my favorite players.
