Titus Ryan and Kerry Murphys kids have got married and indications are that their grandson will not qualify.

At least KM is trying which is more than can said for a lot of athletes who do not get in the first go around on the academic side. He's no quitter.

[Capstone46]

His persistence and sustained efforts have gotten him admitted. He will start classes in January.

Let's hope he comes to campus ready to contribute. I saw him play enough in high school to know that he can be extremely mobile and agile for a man his size. And as Coach Gaither used to say that makes 2 out of 3 of the characteristics he always looked for in his players.

Great to hear this. I hope Mr. Murphy is ready to roll up his sleeves and be a part of something that is going to be very special. Great work Kerry.

My concern about Murphy is that the guys coming out of prep school haven't always been in the best of shape, but according to rto he has his full 5 to play 4 so I guess he will have plenty of time to get into shape. Having Mt Cody back next year sure provides alot of wiggle room luxury in that area.

If he enrolls in January he will have spring practice, summer workouts and fall practice to get in shape. If he is interested in playing and gets with the Saban program he will be in shape by the start of the season.

With him enrolling in January, he's still a back counter--right?

[rtr1973]

Two of the January enrollees will be backcounted toward the 2008 class and the rest will count toward the 2009 class. Which two doesn't really matter.

here is my question..with cody coming back as a SR, Chapman coming back as a soph, as well as Marcel Dareus..where does Square fit in? Some buddies of mine rave about his mobility at his size. Talk about some ammunition on the Dline...

The best players will play. Its a great problem to have. Thats a big thing that separates good teams from great ones...depth. Something we haven't had in a while. There's plenty of playing time to go around on the D-Line.

Square will work his tail off trying to move up the depth chart. This in turn will require that Cody, Chapman and Dareus work that much harder to keep their spots. Competition breeds success!

Its possible for Square and certainly for Dareus to play some DE/DT instead of just NG in this system.
