I think Tre Threat is probably the most under-rated player we signed yesterday. I think he comes in with a chip on his shoulder and becomes another Daren Bates, For those who fail to remember, DB was a NSD late choice for AU. A three star out of Olive Branch, MS. Started as a freshman at DB, believe he made the SEC Freshman team. Then started the next three years at LB. Has been playing in the NFL since leaving. I am not sure we ever had a guy like him. WDE

Will Herring. Came in as a 3-star Athlete (#38 ranked Athlete by Rivals). Basically, that "other guy" the staff found while recruiting 4-star TJ Jackson.

Only other school that offered him was MTSU.

Started at Safety his Freshman, Soph & Junior seasons. Moved to LB in 2006.

Only 2 games he wasn't a starter...his first two games of his Freshman season.

Played 8 seasons in the League.

Not Austin Powers?

Herring was a Bates comparison in that he started at Safety as a Freshman, moved to LB and became better.

"3 star" Malik Miller. Word is the guy has a lights out work ethic. He's tough and has some moves too. Look for him to work his way this year (absent injury or redshirt) into the rotation in a crowded backfield already full of talent.

Work ethic was what I was told by his Uncle. Said Miller plans to be in the RB (not FB) rotation this season.

After Jovon leaves, Miller has a legit chance to own the RB1 spot for 2017.

I kind of see Miller as the type of RB in the mold of Leonard Fournette. A big bruising RB that may not have super speed, but enough speed to break through the first wave of defenders and just flat run over anyone who attempts to tackle him. I would guess his speed is around 4.55-4.6 in the forty. If he can get his speed up a bit and keep his weight in the ballpark, he has a chance to be special no doubt. I see Roc having a breakout season and getting close to a 1000 yards for 2016. I would be great is Roc and Jovon can be 1000 yards or better rushers for 2016. If we get these kind of numbers for each, we will win a lot of games; A LOT OF GAMES!!!!

Fournette has plenty of speed.

I don't see Roc getting to 1000, not with Jovon. And def not with Franklin the likely starter running the zone read.

That's cool, I'm just talking about not highly regarded and the jump made....

And I'll add to your list Cole. Karlos Dansby, came in as a 2 or 3 star WR and developed into an amazing LB.

2016 recruiting just got 100% tougher now that Malzahn didn't offer Craig the OC job. Now he's gone to LSU.

Luckily, the 2016 class has been signed, so ....
