*** Friday morning at Butts-Mehre

  • Grantham on Turene ...

    "Yes, he’s on track (to be here), but to me it’s just a matter of until they’re here and you have them, you never know. But I feel comfortable."

  • Grantham says if Jarvis Jones is not available against Boise State, he would consider moving a freshman into that Sam role.

  • Grantham says Sanders Commings will get a look at safety this preseason ...

    "He's a cornerback who can play safety, and he has done some safety stuff over the summer. ...

    "More of a cross-training. It’s a long season and if you go into it and say he’s only this, it never gives you options. By c-t him, we always have the flexibility and option to put the guys that can give us the best chance to win on the field."

  • Grantham says Geathers will get some work DE but not Jenkins ...

    "He’s (Kwame) done the nose stuff. There’s actually carry-over. In other words, the end is going to know what the nose is doing … To learn how to play another one would not as difficult as learning how to play two positions."

  • Per Grantham, Jenkins is about 345-350 pounds

    "He can run, now."

    On Ray Drew ...

    "We’re going to throw him into the fire a little bit and see how he can help us."

  • On T.J. Stripling and Morant ...

    Says T.J. will be out there first

    “Stripling is a guy that’s working out with the team. He’s probably farther along. I expect him to be able to come in and start working right off the bat. With Richard going to offense, it will give him an opportunity to get some reps to see what he can do at a couple of positions. … What I’m saying is Richard could have been an outside for us.”

  • Grantham on having no defensive guys voted first-team All-SEC by league coaches ...

    "That’s their opinion. There’s good coaches, and they know what they’re looking for. … Hopefully, that would be something for our players to be hungry to go out and produce."

    Marshall -- corner
    Swann -- corner
    Moore -- safety
    Sanders -- safety

    He also did say that Devin Bowman will start out on defense

    Thanks CTK!

    Welcome aboard. Glad the choice was obvious for you. That's our goal.

  • Our first two games are too critical and dramatic to rely on 2 freshman (and Carlton Thomas) with limited to no gametime experience.

    I am optimistic that Richard Samuel is going to look at this opportunity as his "rebirth" at running back and prove the naysayers wrong regarding his abilities at running back. Taking a "now or never" attitude could take this gifted athlete very far. A lot of folks don't realize how young he was coming to UGA (barely 17), and that could explain some of the lack of development/progress in early years.

    I've heard that even at his current heavier weight, he hasn't lost much speed which could make him a really tough guy to bring down and one that has that breakaway speed (remember the 80 yard Arkansas run years back?).

    Kudos again to DGD Samuel, what a great high character example for the rest of the team!

  • I hope Samuel keeps the weight on, he's probably never going to be very elusive. He can even keep that LB mentality, just hit the hole and look for somebody to punish.

    I agree. He never had a lot of lateral movement. Straight. North/South.

    He didn't do a great job shaking that first defender when he was a starter at RB.
    I think the extra weight might help there.

    McClendon... get him behind his pads! He can be a hoss!
