He would have been 3rd string at worst and he didn't come bc Manny doesn't think he will get his waiver.
This is everything right here. He wasn’t getting a waiver so it wasn't a good fit for us or him.
 
Ain’t going to never be any depth if you don’t give your players the opportunity to develop🤷🏾‍♂️ and keep taking grad transfers/jucos at the position, got to be a fine line and balance with the transfers imo. It’s not needed but he can be serviceable i guess. Either way we are going to be good at the position imo with or without sails. This cb group has a lot of potential

Without sails we have 6 corners, 5 of them were 4 star caliber recruits.

In 2016 we went a whole season with 5 corners -redwine, Young, elder, Colbert mainly with mike jack getting in during the bowl game. Colbert missed a good portion of the season so operating with 4 corners.

In 2017 we went a whole season with 5 corners - jackson, bandy, Young, Delaney, Dean. Dean didn’t that play much and Delaney missed a good portion of the season so again operating with 4 corners.

In 2018 we went a whole season playing 5 corners pretty much. The 4th corner(blades played some but not a lot)
Jackson, bandy, dean received most of the reps. Ivey and blades got some after that

So what my point is we have had LOWER numbers at cornerback for the last 3 years with injuries occurring and were just fine... Is it the need everybody says it is? Absolutely not. I’m confident in rumph developing the corners he has which include bandy who is a study and 3 6’1 plus corners with size,bethel who seems to be progressing and couch who will be ready to play imo as a 5th or 6th corner especially behind our pass rush. It’s not like we are asking the freshman to come in to start. Just to play a role within the 4th 5th or 6th corner. If they play beyond that then that’s great but that’s not asking the freshman to do too much either.

Can’t bank again on hoping our DBs don’t get hurt, and how is taking a guy who would help with depth kill another’s development?

Y’all keep saying we needed him for depth?? Why would he come here for limited reps a game as a 4th or 5th dB?? Those reps mean more to Williams and Couch than for a transfer dB that’s looking to start. We are good at cb for the season. If we need another body to fill in that far down the depth chart then Frierson could play some cb in a pinch for a couple reps if necessary.

Frierson has played CB.
D. Smith has played nickel.
Hall can cover.

We're fine.
