WAR-MATT 2 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 I must have missed that one. What is the story with Gentry? Also on the injury front, it was revealed that freshman Nick Gentry, a 6-1, 263-pound defensive lineman from Prattville, will not work with the team in fall camp because he is rehabilitating from shoulder surgery. Saban said it was a high school injury that Alabama’s medical staff recommended be repaired. Gentry has been in Tuscaloosa this summer and will be in school, but will not be part of the 105 participating in early fall camp. He will continue in rehabilitation and Saban said it is not a season-ending injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Not having seen him play, it's hard to say. But judging from what the "prognosticators" were saying, he wasn't expected to project ahead of Alfred McCullough and Chapman at DT. And if he slid over to DE, he was sure to be behind Alex Watkins. But losing bodies never helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBandDad 0 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Speaking of UAT losing defensive lineman, I must confess that I was disappointed to read that Byron Walton's career is evidently over. He went to high school where both my daughters graduated. Hate it for him. Of course, I can still keep up with CB Eric Gray. Hope he has a good year, except against AU.

Or wait, maybe he can serve one of those suspensions where he stands on the sidelines in uniform in case he is needed. Seriously, I hate to hear that any of these guys have to go under the knife. Once those shoulders get operated on, they never seem to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinCrimson 61 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I had never heard anything about Gentry stepping into a starting role. Yet, our front seven is about as strong as wet toilet paper, meaning we need every body we can get. I'm excited about Alex Watkins and Luther Davis, though. The rest of the bunch looks like they'll fit in perfectly with what we already have. That's unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was his layover from his last game to college. He showed up out of shape, and didn't have to go through the spring workouts that all the current (read non freshmen) players did. Honestly, he looks quite out of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,499 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 What was that argument last recruiting season...something like Saban got AU to waste a scholly on some lineman by showing interest in him when he never really wanted him. You know, I can't tell what the bammiemag crowd is talking about half the time but I managed to cobble it together somewhat after consulting a White Trash to English dictionary. So I wonder if they think it works in reverse...that we lured Saban into going after Josh Chapman when we knew he was lazy and was gonna show up fat and out of shape?

If you didn't try to make that point, no need to don the asbestos long johns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
