After Spring: Wide Receivers
Wide receiver is another position where depth was most discussed in the spring. The starting trio can be pretty good, largely because they have one guy with star quality, Donte Moncrief. Ja-Mes Logan and particularly Vince Sanders evolved into a…

After Spring: Offensive LIne
From the get-go Hugh Freeze told us the offensive line would be the last to “get it” regarding an up-tempo offense. That pace is asking a lot of the big guys. Last year’s line got better as the season progressed.…

After Spring: Defensive Ends
The buzz for the consensus top five signing class starts here with the nation’s top recruit, Robert Nkemdiche. The brother of Denzel Nkemdiche is listed at 6-5 and 270 and has been compared to South Carolina start Jadeveon Clowney, who…
After Spring: Defensive Tackles
A year ago I looked at this position and wondered what the Rebels could accomplish here. There wasn’t much production returning. Uriah Grant had played through some injuries, and conditioning had been an issue for Gilbert Pena. Now looking back…

After Spring: Cornerbacks
The most intriguing name in this group is Nick Brassell, the “NFL corner.” That’s a label Hugh Freeze applied to Brassell in the spring of 2012 before Brassell flunked out and spent his sophomore season at East Mississippi Community College.…
