Probably the biggest news is that freshman tight end Kendrick James is getting a look at DE. I wonder if his meteoric weight gain this summer is an indication that this had been a plan from the beginning.

I know that we have a great S&C program and a lot of our guys look the part, but Daniel Wright as a true Frosh is physically built like a 22 year-old Junior or Senior from the pictures that I saw.

Will be really interesting to see where Minkah ends up playing. I would still bet on Safety but it sounds like he practiced at CB too. That CB2 battle will be interesting to watch in general. No matter what happens we have 4 guys who are going to be studs back there in Minkah, Ronnie, Averett and Tony

I wish to God Tony Brown would "get it." If he played with sound technique he would be like Alabama's version of the "Iron Dome." Nothing would get past him.

I want to point out that Tony does get it. He has matured a lot since last year. I promise you he has improved a lot. It's a possibility that Tony is good at Star, It's not necessary a bad thing for him to be at where he is right now. I think they like him at Star because of his speed.

Now The way I look at it...
Plan A: Diggs/Averett at CB, Tony Brown at Star and Minkah at Safety with Harrison .
Plan B: Minkah/Averett at CB, Tony Brown at Star and Hootie Jones at Safety with Harrison.
Plan C: Brown/Averett at CB, Trevor Diggs at Star and Minkah Safety with Harrison
Plan D: Brown/Averett at CB Shyiem Carter at Star and Minkah safety with Harrison

There's lot of combination we can work with, and no matter how we ends up in the end, I think Minkah will stick at Safety and we'll see Diggs/Carter/Mayden at CB. Knott is another year away from being ready.
