The safety position after spring

[DMoney]

Looking good. Bolden and Hall are locked in and experienced. Avantae and Kinchens made some rookie mistakes but flashed their talent and competitiveness. And we moved Amari to striker to open a spot for James Williams.

Salute to Banda. We've got a 5* and four 4* in our rotation.

 

[Go Canes!!]

15 gonna be 0 so good.

That should be a strong duo (Bubba/Gurvan) but I can't help to look forward to the Williams and Williams tandem if they can play to their rankings.

We can't forget Keshawn Washington. Had a forced fumble on Rooster in the red zone during the 2nd scrimmage and had some big hits on Redding and Worsham in the spring game.

That group has the potential to be elite. Moving Amari to Striker and McCloud to DE were two very underrated offseason moves.

Excited about what TRob can do with this unit.

Any idea what measurables James Williams is coming at? Last I saw he was holding around 218, kid is going to be a problem when he gets into the S&C program here.

Hopefully he does not outgrow safety and become the "tweener". He is a freak specimen though.

Big skeptic of Hall. He's been pretty bad.

Would love to see Avantae and James snatch his chain.

Sure you didn't mean "cheers" to Banda?

Hopefully T Rob can get Gurvan to play to his talent level and get Bolden to play all year to the level he did the first 4 games last year

If he can, then we have two All ACC or even AA safeties roaming the defense again

While developing and sprinkling in JW, Kitchens, and Avantae

I was so high on Hall, knowing we actually took a player Saban wanted badly. He has all the physical tools, like you said maybe the coaching flips the switch. The real question is if it doesn't will we leave him in or replace him with a better player, we know how that sometimes goes here.....

Doesn't mean he can play

Just like basketball, football seems to be heading into a more “positionless” type game. If Manny can get a DE to keep the 8+ sack streak alive this could be the second best defense he’s had during his tenure at The U.

Reminds me of the good ol NCAA days when I’d recruit a bunch of 5 star ATH and plug them in.

Linebackers and DE turnover scare the **** out of me, hope you are right

 

[Empirical Cane]

We need D'No to weigh in on this thread.

 

[Geddy Lee]

I'd rather see the young dudes instead of Hall tbh. But that's just me. My opinion is worth about 6 cents.

 

[CaneGng13]

Doesn't mean he can play

But the other guys can... based off their stars?

 

[CFLCane]

We forgetting Balom? I know he got injured but wasnt he playing well prior.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Just cause u have two big hits and a cause a fumble from a guy who rumbles doesn't mean u a baller. U have to see the closing speed the footwork the hips. He could of hit dude after a 35 yard gain that doesn't mean anything. That's like saying I'm a great db cause Pope dropped 4 balls on me and had two catches.....but I have the best pass rush in the country. Alot of context missing so we don't know anything......I mean I'm sure on film the dude doesn't look like a UM caliber player. I haven't watched it but I'm assuming the young guys are better because they were recruited like it. Is there a chance that star **** is wrong? Yea but it's unlikely in this situation.....again in my opinion

I’m more concerned with Flagg at M than I am Smith at W. Flagg has the instincts but idk if he has the athleticism to get in position to make the play.
