Good News Thanks Cap!

Further update...

According to the fall roster, Hanks and McCullough will be sophomores this fall, while Vlachos and Fanuzzi will be freshmen. All four played in a season-opening win against Western Carolina only.

Chapman played against Western Carolina, Vanderbilt and Arkansas as the Crimson Tide opened the 2007 season at 3-0.

I notice how all of the star players have small numbers.

A look at the jersey assignments listed for UA freshmen in the media guide: Mark Barron (4), Undra Billingsley (94), John Michael Boswell (97), Terrence Cody (62), Marcel Dareus (57), Robby Green (23), Glenn Harbin (54), Jerrell Harris (5), Don'ta Hightower (56), Mark Ingram (22), Star Jackson (2), Barrett Jones (75), Julio Jones (8), Chris Jordan (36), Alonzo Lawrence (15), Robert Lester (37), Tyler Love (72), Ivan Matchett (31), Wesley Neighbors (46), Jermaine Preyear (44), Burton Scott (1), Damion Square (65), Courtney Upshaw (41), Michael Williams (89).

I was glad to see Gentry get a medical. Dude can flat get after it when he's healthy.

yea numbers one through five could potentially be impact players.

1- BJ
2- Star
3- Kareem
4- Barron/Maze
5- Jerrell

What is a star player???

What happened to the Gentry transfer rumors? Just another wanna-be "scooper" who obviously scooped himself. I too think Gentry has a chance, but maybe at one of the LB spots.

Good news on the appeals guys. I believe Vlachos had shoulder surgery, so we know his was legit.

Does it mean Barron won't see much PT if they gave him the same number as Maze? That seems strange.

I can't see it being much of a factor if Barron plays defense (which he will).

Where did you guys see these players listed? Rolltide.com doesn't have them...)-:

Same for Upchurch and #5

numbers can be duplicates as long as they are not on the field at the same time. ala that kicker Friedman had to kick an extra point is #81. Was same as Keith Brown.

Translation: "Because these guys were 5* recruits I expect them to step right in and excel as true freshmen." You could be in for some disappointment gwgdruid.
