ellitor 33,114 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 What a great way to kick off the weekend! I expect 2 to 3 more by Sunday. While it could happen. I don't I think it will. Ford will go home before he decides anything. It's not a given Clark gets an offer. Griffin has grade concerns and may just be looking for a school that will let him in, Walton plans on waiting til midweek next week to commit, and the coaches may ask Bell to hold off on flipping cuz they are still working on Golson.

ShugMan55 0 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Looks like he can block, too. That was so key in 2010. Welcome! Yes. Edge blocking was probably the most important, least talked about aspect of 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcollum243 0 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Are we going to play him in a different position, if we recieve another WR commit? I just watched a video of him playing nickel back and lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched a video of him playing nickel back and lb. From my observation Gus wants depth out the yingyang at WR. He loves physical, blocking WRs. Walker fits that pretty well. I'd be surprised to see him anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus wants him as a big physical receiver and to block on plays like thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=nCXR5cUDmrU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCBAuburnaFan 1 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Question, this is my first year actually following recruiting but it seems to me that we are picking up a lot of players this year that could use 20-30 lbs. of bulk i understand this is the case for a lot of freshman players but it oddly seems like we are doing it more than usual. So i guess to circle back to the question is it normal or is it an odd year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also goes back to the point I made in the JUCO thread. We have to get to the point where we are depending on the upperclassmen for most of the starting positions while we are giving the underclassmen a chance to develop. These JUCOs give Gus more depth in the upperclass to be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, another factor that isn't being mentioned much although it isn't a secret is that these kids will likely play with a chip on their shoulder coming from JUCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need help in some area and Gus is getting us resources the fastest way possible. Sound reasoning in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These JUCOs have something to prove and only have 2 years to do it. Because of that they usually have good attitudes and are serious about doing their job. I have always liked select JUCOs to plug needs in the upperclass created by the attrition or under-performance in previous classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfrank55 0 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Now this is funny.... "They were very mad," Walker told The Orlando Sentinel. "But I thought I had to call them like a real man should. "Yeah, they were mad. Coach Pelini said 'Best of luck. You're going to need it.' Coach Fisher said, 'I can’t believe you.' It was really awkward." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleReedle 14 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 War Eagle. I know we didn't have qb to get our receivers the ball last year but we were still desperately in need of some quality guys who could lay some blocks, this is a step in that direction.
