Our biggest tackles are Little and Sligh[t]? ;•)

(07-28-2018, 11:26 AM)Langdude Wrote: Roster updated to reflect three early retirements.
Senior reserve wide receiver and kick returner Jay Tyler. A three-star recruit from New Orleans (he was a quarterback in high school, like his dad Herbert, who was a four-year starter for LSU), Jay played in eight games as a sophomore, and 12 last year. He never caught a pass, but did return a few punts, one kickoff, and threw a completion last year against Oregon. Not sure if this was to focus on school or a result of injury, but, as a psych major, Jay was an Honorable Mention Pac-12 All-Academic last season; certainly great things ahead for Jay.

1) Starter at LG changed from Fanaika to Hamilton. This is interesting. It is a position change for Hamilton. Not unheard of in the least, but if a tackle is better at guard than a guy (Fanaika) who started there last year, then that is saying something about how Hamilton is playing. Of course, the goal is to get the five best OL out there, which is apparently, right now, Little, Hamilton, HeBIG, Hall, and Burkett (kinda).
Quote:3) Starter at DT changed from DWP to Williams.
Quote:4) Starter at CB changed from Murphy to Adebo. I am most surprised here. Murphy (a team captain) started most of last year, and Adebo didn't play one down. So the fact that Adebo gets the start says something about his ability. Murphy, of course, will be the NB.

With the heart surgery I had wondered if he'd play again, but his recovery seems to be a remarkable story.

I meant I made the change on the depth chart listed here, where I had penciled in DWP.
