He went to a very expensive private school in Arkansas. Speaks for itself.

Think I've said this in the past, but I got to meet him before down at the beach in Florida a couple years back. He was really cool.

Our starting WR's are severely undersized other than Slayton. Everything else is good. Derrick Brown at 330 pounds... Jeez. Assume Stephen Roberts won't be playing this game, which sucks, but Ruffin, Tray, and Markell should be sufficient. Hoping Tray's bum shoulders don't do him in again this season.

I think we will see all of the WR's on that depth chart play significantly first game. JMO.

My thoughts when I was told as well.

Was told Marshall Taylor wasn't at Team Pics today... Anyone else confirm?

I agree

This class is shaping up like the 2015 class. I'm down.

good stuff Agreed

Special Teams University

It's funny you just said that and bumped this thread because I'm in Athens today with some friends and swear I just saw this kid.

This guy has 39 offers... Hope we can get him to commit and stay.

He is wearing FSU cleats though. Emblem and all. Saw it on a Woody Wommack tweet earlier. He's camped at FSU a ton.

Any relation to Kenny Britt?

Commit

This kid could finish top 15 in DE rankings when all is said and done. Really really lucky to get him on board as early as we did. Boykin commitment looking like a real thing here in the next couple hours.

I personally like what John Hart is doing... He's setting us up for an incredible future. We have the best farm leagues in the game. The prospects will work out and we'll be competing for a World Series in a couple of years. Braves fans are looking at the present when we need to be looking at the future.

Gotta start somewhere, pitching won us the World Series... Maybe it'll win us another one.

Good for him. Hate to see him leave like that but that's the business. Also means we feel good about our other targets. War Eagle Chris!

Baylor

From what I understand it's not size that's the problem. It's technique right?

While I know that he could very well a huge asset to the team in a couple years, is he really that good, or are we making ourselves believe he is that good?

We must not be feeling good about Slayton.

What...?

Ramiro Pena is our reasonable 3B option. Chris Johnson is a great player and he will do well. He is young just like the majority of our infield. Don't throw Chris Johnson under the bus yet.
