Chris Graves(nothing bad)

[ajone228]

Will be CB2 this year and it’s not close imo.

Competition will be for Nickle and CB4 between Couch, Clark, blades and Porter.

My ideal CB trip would be Stevenson-Graves with blades as the slot.

If Couch proves he can tackle then he will move up.

Blades will be come back player of year but as slot corner, because i feel same way Graves will take over CB2 spot but not right away but after a few games

I see him getting here in the summer and taking over.

Hope you're right. Typically takes true freshmen a few games in before they're given the keys. But if Graves beats out Porter early on, that's a helluva a sign he's going to be a great one.

I still hope Mario takes a second portal CB this cycle. Let the competition do the talking. Hope Ivey lives up to his potential, Blades comes back from long Covid, Couch bounces back to be Corn Elder-esque, Clarke has a breakthrough season, the three 2022 kids are all better than Surtain's year one at Bama. Hope it all happens. But iron sharpens iron. Go get another top performer and make them earn their snaps.

Y’all really just love shiny new things lol. No way Graves starts over Clarke lol. And I don’t know how or why you came to that conclusion. Even Khamauri Rogers, who’s currently on campus, will not start over Clarke. Believe it or not, and you’ll see it later, but Clarke may be UMs best CB. Even at 5’10 180s.

Hope you are right homie. Really like his potential

 

[SinisterCane]

What about LBs?????

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Is he in for spring? I feel just as strongly about him but will have to change my tune if he’s getting here in summer

 

[FromDeeeeep]

Graves is young. I believe he played some of his senior season at age 16.

A redshirt year would be a good idea for development.

People are always delusional about freshmen. CB especially is tough for any non-Surtain caliber player to just walk into a starting spot.

And I really like Graves, but CB2 and "not close"? come on OP

 

[Cortez55403]

I’m guessing our transfer from WVU, Porter, will be our starter at CB opposite Stevenson. Big time experience. Well known to our DB coach.

 

[Brains]

Porter will probably start opposite Rique.

Graves is the most talented CB on the roster.

Barring injury, Clarke is never going to start over Graves.

Rodgers needs significant time to rehab his injury.

Y’all put all these expectations on players and when they don’t produce right away he’s a jag smh

It's the off season, Brock, that's what we do. Go back to being positive, let everyone drink the Kool Aid for a few months.

 

[Damiencane86]

Not trying to place unfair expectations on Graves but kid has a tremendously high ceiling. Could've seen him push for early PT if he was here for spring but him being a reliable 2nd teamer I think is more realistic.

 

[dodaniels]

I hear ya, but I'm still bullish on clarke/Curtis tandem. Nonetheless, these are great conversations to have.

I'll bite. Other than not having yet had the chance to be ripped apart by our fanbase, what makes Graves "the most talented CB on the roster"?

I’d honestly feel better about Graves starting had he enrolled early. But we’ll see how he does during fall practices!!
