These observations from a former spuat DB (posted on 7/16/2008 on another forum)...* Julio Jones probably will be starting opposite McCoy during the Clemson game. Julio is a physical freak of nature, and is actually bigger than Jack linebacker, Alex Watkins. Julio had only one weakness coming into the summer. That was getting off the press. Now he has that down packed, his only weakness is..........well, actually nothing....* B.J. Scott is the real deal in the slot. He caught a pass in 7 on 7 the other week and split the defense and left everyone in the dust. He has been compared to a mixture of David Palmer and Freddie Milons, but explosive like Prothro. He should end up being the best out of that bunch, and that's saying a lot.* Mark Barron is quiet. He's like Silent Bob. lol. He's said to be walking around the complex with an angry look on his face, because he can't hit anybody yet. He's said to have reported in around 220,and they wanted him to lose weight, and he's reported to be at around 205.* Alonzo Lawrence is awesome. A freakish athlete. He can cover anybody out there, and that's without technique. Once Saban gets a hold of him and work with him.....watch out. Expected to be a starter by mid-season.* Robbie Green is small. Maybe around 5'9. Probably will need a redshirt year to bulk up.* Dontae Hightower is huge, and the thought of two 260 pound linebackers in the middle of that defense is scary.* Marcel Dareus is absolutely a monster. Saw him yesterday, and he is all solid. Nothing fat about him. He was weighing in at 301. He's standing at around 6'3, no taller than 6'4. He should be playing early and often, and is a very personable individual with a hell of a work ethic.* Courtney Upshaw is impressive. Expected to play as a freshman.* Damien Square's arms are HUGE and ripped up!! Getting stronger in the weightroom and is Dareus's workout partner. Everyone calls him Square.* Jerrell has is every bit of 6'3, and he looks intimidating. He should nail down the SAM position by the end of camp. He looks like an upper classmen.* Matchett has nice size on him and is every bit over 200 pounds andis solid standing at around 5'10.* Mark Ingram is built like a race horse. He will be a 20+ carry a game back.* Star Jackson is expected to be the #2 quarterback by the end of camp. He is said to be smooth in the pocket and has lots of confidence. Only time will tell.* Wesley Neighbors is built like a rock, and is expected to be force at least on special teams.* Tyler Love is expected to compete for the right tackle spot in camp. Drew Davis has added good weight and improved over the spring. But it's unsure if he'll be able to hold down the fort at RT.* Barrett Jones needs to add weight. Athletic, but small for an OL.* Terrance Cody has a very impressive work ethic. He's doing well.* Chris Jordan is a physical specimen. He's working out at RB, and that's where he wants to be, but it's just a matter of time, before he's on the other side of the ball.* Michael Williams will be a beast. Very raw talent. Something special to watch in the future. Said to look like Juwan Simpson in the face. lol.Now for updates on current players* Mike McCoy is a first class individual and Saban absolutely loves him* No signs of Johnathon Lowe* Nick Walker is taking a very serious approach to his last year and is said to have matured a lot.* Expect big things from Justin Woodall. All of the "negative influence" that he was hanging around has graduated, and he's on a mission to prove himself.* Marquise Maze is not only quick, but is said to be the 3rd fastest player on the team behind Terry Grant and Rashard Johnson.* Glenn Coffee is 100%, and is weighing in at 203. He wants to play at 215. Shoulder is fine.* John Parker-Wilson should have a much better season this year. It was said that Applewhite screwed him up last year, and all of the kinks are being worked out. So expect a better season from him this year.* Andre will be a top 5 pick next April. Caldwell a late 1st rounder.* Darius Hanks catches everything thrown his way. No questions asked.* Colin Peek will be something special to watch next year. Like Hanks, he doesn't drop anything.* Prince Hall's issue is just simply "trust". Has a lot of proving to do.* Josh Chapman will be a monster this year.* Greenwood has added major weight.* Talks of Zo moving from the nose to the end, cause Chapman and Cody will probably hold down the middle.* Don't count out McCollough.* Don't count out Ali Sharief. Can flat out fly and won't be denied.* McElroy seems very excited to be at Bama and is a great guy. Talks of a transfer should be silenced.* Cory Reamer is coming along. Don't count him out just yet.
Well, I guess there's no reason that Bama shouldn't go undefeated this season...right?
Except that they are still reelin' from probation. You know that it destroys your team for at least 10 years before it happens and 15 years afterward.
Wesley Neighbors is built like a rock, and is expected to be force at least on special teams
Laughable, complete propaganda for the SPUATERS.......unless Neighbors has been popping Andro, he is still the skinny white boy that was like the third best football player on Huntsville Highs 2007's defense.
