Day 1 Practice Notes (GRAY HAS ARRIVED)

Trayone Gray is here.

ITS HAPPENED

If Wyche is really 350 or whatever, he carries it exceptionally well.

 

[Tad Footeball]

That's not even a cutoff jersey. He's just that big.

It's little in here!

Naw, you big in here.

That man's play is the difference between 7 and 10+ wins, and a top 20 class or a top 10 class. He ends up being the real deal, our defense holds, and we win, and we are ready to take the next step. I know it sounds like hyperbole but it really isn't.

If this is "fat" give me a whole D-line of hogs. We can change it to "Hawgs" if that's more appealing to the kids.

Looks like Walter Tucker is wearing No. 4 and working with the LBs. Was a FB last year. Came in as a LB.

much needed depth here. good move by staff but eventhough he was solid at FB

Ran pretty well in the spring. I'd assume they moved him with the need for depth at the LB position.

I wasn't aware that he came in as a LB. I thought he was always a FB/RB.

I'm guessing Gray starts at RB with this change.

until Gray is uniform, it is not certain he has cleared, correct?

****. I was excited about him at RB after the Spring Game

I'm actually much more excited about him at linebacker.
Get your best athletes on the field.

Al Golden, you slick summamabitch you! Move Tucker and his speed to LB and have a two back set of Gray and Duke on the field at all times. *slow claps*

Hhhhmmm. He put in work during the spring toting the rock. I was rather impressed. Will be interesting to monitor this situation. I think this kid can be a player here, just a matter of what position suits him best

Me too I thought him and figs were going to wreck shoppe last year looked like a straight killer out there with bad intentions

has to go through NCAA clearinghouse...same thing that held Gus out a lot of fall camp last year

His speed would definitely be nice at lb..

It's finally go time.

I will not fall for the hype this year. I won't do it.

You're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe?

Not sure how many carries he'd actually see at RB behind Duke, Yearby, Gus and possibly Gray.

Heaps gets first-team reps in 11-on-11 drills. Kaaya running second team. No one's thrown a pass yet.

4th string running back behind Duke, Gus and Yearby, with Scarlett, Cronkite, Williams and Walton on the way, or he becomes a 230lb+ linebacker with sprinter speed.

Sounds like a great move.

Why can't he do both?

Didn't UCLA have a LB who played RB/FB as well last year?

Just put him out there to block.

sorry but this is Al Golden dealing with the clearinghouse, not clappy or onion. They consistently had players pulled off the field to never see greentree again. I like our chances even more now.
