Isn’t Justus listed at around 6’3 275 and Alfred at 6’5 320?

Case closed, Johnson. Don’t think we need the forensics for this one. 

 

I thought 6'5" 275lbs. Anyway, based on what we want, I think he will need to get up to around 300lbs by the end of summer.

It’s amazing and I guess a sign of the times, where early enrollees are “eligible” to participate in bowl/playoff practices once on campus. From what I’ve heard, both Justus and Michael Terry are “starting” on the scout team for bowl prep, after being on campus less than 30 days.

Hook’em!!!

That rule change seems like a good thing for player and program

ST has been a disappointment in its entirety. Bert can’t hit 40+ consistently, punting has been a complete struggle, and we haven’t really been good in the return game either. I guess coverage has been good. Have we had a blocked kick/punt all year? It’s like someone stop paying attention to ST.

Please thank me for jinxing ST. We should have had a blocked punt and now we have a punt return TD. I’m gladly eating crow.

I’m not sure why you’re touting a drive extending penalty off an inexplicable failure to block a punt as some kind of victory.

Wasn't John Burt one of the 5?

Burt was from Florida but not one of the 5. It was Cecil Cherry (transferred before his freshman season iirc), Davante Davis, Devonaire Clarington (signed but didn't get in with grades), Gilbert Johnson (same as Clarington), and Tim Irvin (flipped to Auburn 2 weeks after committing).

Cecil Cherry was the epitome of a late Mack/Charlie level football program. No balls at all and fake toughness. 

Then Herman's teams were tough as nails but dumb as a box of rocks and mostly unathletic. 

Whatever happened to Cecil Cherry?
