Yeah, if Bryant takes off and Jibunor is as good as we think, I'm hoping we move Moultry back to LB. I think Davis will fill Tre's spot and I would like to keep TD on the field. I think ideally he plays DWill s spot but we need this young LBs to step in since we are losing our starting Three LBs in two years. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 He's going to be a star at Buck. TD's not changing spots. He'll just have a more flexible deployment over time. More dropping into coverage and less predictable rushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I couldn't believe how many reps TD got in the IB. Every snap he was in on meant a couple very good and more experienced guys were resting. Against the #1 team in the country and with the SEC West belt on the line. Um, yeah, I think we can have pretty high expectations for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,093 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Crisp County (Ga.) LB/ATH Quay Walker is now knocking on the #Rivals100 door. He is one of the big risers this #Rivals250 update. #Alabama commit with #Auburn and #Georgia in hot pursuit.

WFE12 9,191 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Anybody know how big of a factor Pruitt leaving Bama is for Quay? I would imagine pretty big though not as big it is for JJP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,589 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Currently, our LB recruiting in this class is at the "barely maintain" level. We need Walker or a LB of similar quality to make any progress. That's not a complaint about the two (or three, depending on where Marsh plays) that we already have signed, it's a statement about numbers. History of the LB position both at AU and other schools,is that around 50% of linebacker signees don't work out at that position. We need one more.

Except that T-Will has only lost Colbert & Threat & developed the LBs on roster well. When he takes another job at another school then we can start taking more again out of need. Take Walker cuz kid is a beast, not out of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird 60,522 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Great point, E. Our retention rate and development rate has moved, which allows us to be less desperate for warm bodies. That said, there is one position that is desperate for warm bodies. 3 in two years is not good and will be felt well before any issues at LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Bird is the Mikey of safeties. And, to be fair to both guys, safeties are the safeties of linebackers. Wait, what, can somebody please explain to me what I just said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I read that UGA is trending with Walker, just like with everyone else. Their recruiting is giving me ulcers. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,885 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Ive been a big @Mikey supporter for years when it comes to LB recruiting. However, I like where we are right now (amazing how quickly that has turned around). Our retention is much better than it was, AND we run a lot of 2LB sets, so there aren’t as many LB snaps to go around. With that said, I really hope we land QW!!! As for Safeties, we are “supermodel on weigh-in Day” thin!!! I like this class we have coming in, and we need another one like it in 2019 to be where we need to be. I agree @McLoofus, Safety is the new LB, and @bigbird is the new @Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
