Looks like it's going to happen soon out of USC and Florida.

Damn

No surprise there. My money is on Florida.

This guy has bee pointing OOS for awhile.

my money also Law.

Hey Law, is it true Carpenter is out?

Not law, but hes fine.

will he play this year? start?

Michigan State? Geez.

I think he'll be fine.

An Ag friend told me it's still up in the air...he didn't sound too positive about it.

Did that Kerry JUCO make it?

We'll see. He has 3 to play 2, so he could RS if he's not healthy.

Carpenter has 3 to play 3 and coach Fran mentioned him Monday night in Dallas when talking about the secondary so I would expect he is going to play.

Kerry?

I thought Carpenter played 2 years in Juco?

I have not seen anything on Kerry Reed. That is a good question lj?

No just played one. Has 3 years to play 3.

oh, so he RS at JUCO and then played a year there.

Losing him would hurt the depth pretty bad....that TT game is one scary game for the Ags.

Carpenter is fine, this crap about him still being hurt is a bs rumor.

By the time we play tt at the end of the season, we will have 2-3 stud freshmen that will be perfectly ready to cover and knock the crap out of the tt receivers. These guys are bigger, stronger, faster, and more talented than the guys we lost. Several games of experience will be all they need.

A couple or so fish to go along with the other guys we have will be just fine.

Gig'em<BR>Outrigger<BR>

expecting any True Fr stud CB to contribute and play well is asking for disappointment.


Which kids would be ready for this outrigger?

I'd love to see Outrigger give an objective critical assessment of any part of the Aggie football team.

He's discounted concerns for the OL, DB, LB, etc...are you a perfect team outrigger?

Kerry Reed isn't listed on AggieAthletics as being part of the incoming class. I guess that means he didn't make it?

Wait until the end of summer session 2.

I don't expect any of the fish dbs to play this year. I would be very surprised if we had 2-3 of them play.

I am hoping for very good things from our RS-fish Gorrer.

Well then why did Fran say at the media conference that one or more of the freshmen DBs will not be shirted? Explain that to me please

I am really starting to ****ing hate the Gaytors.

Fran may be talikg about Coffman at Safety. He may be physically too impressive to not put him on the field (situational and special teams).

A couple incoming DBs will not redshirt...

I would agree with that statement if we were expecting the true fish CBs to come in and start, but we aren't.

The 1-2 true fish CBs that play will have four older corners ahead of them on the depth chart. Additionally, there are two veteran backup safeties who are former corners who can play corner in a pinch and WILL rotate at slot corner in nickel and dime sets. (Fran has used backup safeties as nickel and dime corners in the past.)

That's six guys ahead of the true fish CBs that play. We are hardly depending on the true fish.

We will be playing the true fish for depth sake. We will be rotating them in as nickel and dime corners against spread offenses so that none of our DBs get tired.

So, starting out, the true fish will be 7th and 8th in rotation. If they impress and work their way up, great. But it's hardly a life or death situation.


BTW, Fran mentioned Jordan Peterson as possibly being one of the true fish to play.

Like Machew said, I agree with that but to think they'll make a considerable impact is not likely.

Kerry is, and always was, joining the team in August.

ronald jones and singleton are bad DBs. we will need at least 1 freshman, maybe more, to step up and play.

Who's saying it has to be a "considerable impact?" I say that the true fish only have to fill a role. It's possible that they make a bigger impact, but not necessary.

You are the one who said that the Tech game will be scary for A&M. Outrigger then made the point that the true fish will be able to fill the role that I described against Tech. You tried to call him on it, but it made no sense.

When is the last time that A&M could go eight deep at CB against Tech? How will this year against Tech be any scarier than previous years, years in which we had LESS depth?

Do you think that true fish CBs will not be capable of filling the role of rotation nickel and dime corners against Tech?

Luckily though, they are not static. They WERE bad in some games in the past.

Is Reggie McNeal a bad QB because of his 2003 season? Is it possible that players improve?

If you are going to bash our players like that, I would hope you at least know what you are talking about. How much spring practice did you watch?

Fran labeled three players the three biggest surprises of the spring. Can you name them?

Nope...who are they?
