  • He doesn't want to talk about what happened with Isaiah but ...

    "We've obviously got to move on. There's an opportunity for some young backs to step up ... There's going to be a bigger opportunity to play for Marshall and Gurley."

  • Bobo: "I really like the way Quayvon Hicks looks ... He's like 270 pounds, just a solid rock."

  • Bobo on freshmen O-linemen ...

    "I think with Greg Pyke and Theus, those are bigger body type of guys who are maybe physically more mature ... Are they as strong as they need to be yet? No. But hopefully their body mass will help them get by.

    "Those guys know they need to come in and provide some depth, and one of them might be starting."

  • More Bobo on O-Line ...

    "You've got the whole world talking about them, that it's up to them. It's bonding them together.

    Where will Theus be?

    "We're playing around with it a lot right now. It's not going to be set in stone until we get out there."

  • Bobo on Harvey-Clemons maybe playing some WR ...

    "Right now he's going to start out on defense, but there will be some plan (during August) to give him a couple of opportunties over there."

  • Bobo on WRs ...

    "I think we've got some talent there. ... Tavarres has to become more consistent to be what we think he is and what he wants to be -- a top performer in this league. ... He had a great spring and is working hard."

    Says Mitchell is an "explosive-type player" ... "And I think Tavarres King is as well."

  • 4 years of a ROCK at FB! Love it!

  • Bobo on if Ken Malcome is ready to be a No. 1 back in SEC ...

    "That's still to be seen. I think Ken grew up a lot last year. ... I think he got his attitude right about what he had to do and how he approached every day. He seems confident. You've got to prove it on the field, but I'm pleased where he's at."

  • Bobo on Jay Rome ...

    "He's going to have to be a dependable player for us, one that we can count on. ... Jay has got a lot of ability. Every time we had a scrimmage in the spring, he always seemed to make catches and make plays. Is he there yet what we want him to do every single play? No. ... He's got to be a guy that can be dependable."

  • Bobo says nothing has been ruled out, but Samuel will "start camp at tailback."

    Says Samuel came to coaches after spring game and said, "Don't forget about me at tailback."

    "If he stays healthy," Bobo said, "he can be productive for us."

  • I asked Bobo about non-scholarship tight ends, and he mentioned Hugh Williams, who moved from O-Line and "did a nice job blocking. A guy like Hugh could figure in."

    As for Ty Smith?

    "We've got to get him ready to play"

  • Bobo: "Merritt Hall was the biggest surprise for me out of spring. It's says 216 here, but I saw him the other day and he's about 230 pounds."

  • Hall was a LB/FB last year who played some defense, Bobo says.

    "He was a linebacker on the scout team last year. ... We'd be doing blitz period and he would try to kill the running backs. You could tell he was physical."

    Bobo says of Hall: "He's No. 1 right now," could see it staying that way when camp starts.

    "You have the media guide right there, so they're all available."

  • Grantham on Harvey-Clemons ...

    "He's certainly a talented guy I think can help us a lot of different spots. That's the kind of guy who have to recruit ... It's really important you can move guys around and have the flexibility to play multiple things."

  • Grantham not shutting door completely on JHC in secondary but says he'll start out at OLB.

    "He continues to grow and mature. It's no different than Tree a few years ago. ... I don't think you want guys to gain weight just to gain weight. It's got to be good weight."

  • Grantham raving about Jordan Jenkins ...

    Jenkins at about 260

    "Guys that are big and fast make me a good coach."

    "He's probably got as good a first step as anybody coming into camp anywhere in the country ... Great work ethic, enjoys the game. ... He's a guy that will really help moving towards the quarterback as opposed to moving away."

  • Grantham on Missouri ...

    "They're very explosive offensively. They've got some good skill people. Their quarterback had a dynamic year last year. ... I know a little bit about their staff. They're very good coaches. ... We've got to make sure we take the necessary steps and make sure we're ready."

  • good to hear about merritt hall. i still like samuel at both positions, though with IC's departure i think we'll need an older guy in the meeting room and who knows his blitz pickups.
