***Huge Juco DT Terrence Cody commits to Bama***

[BamaMadness]

This guy must be related to Grady Jackson..

I know this is irrelevant, but does this count towards our Rivals and Scout rankings? I really want to keep that top 3 rating...

Yes, JuCo's count toward the overall rating.

Terrence Cody is a MANIMAL

Folks, I have visions of a DOMINATING defense in 2 or 3 years!!!!!!DT_ura1:

 

[Athens-LA-Tide]

This guy sounds solid. He wont be scared and he will be ready in the 4th qtr to dominate and finish off. Exciting!!!!! Nice pickup......

Good article with a lot of personal facts from his hometown. I like the fact that Cody has trimmed down to 375 with a goal of playing at 350 next season. Apparently he is in fairly decent shape with lots of running and weight lifting. The article says he plays fullback in short yardage situations.

Can you imagine him as a lead block at FB? I would hate to be the LB that has to take that block on.

I read up on him a little. He is pretty athletic for his size. If he is as strong as I think he might be, this dude is going to be a special player for us and will probably be able to write his own ticket to teams running a 3-4 in the League. I hope he gives us 2 years.

With Cody at FB the formation could truely be called Jumbo.

Cody as the tractor, Andre as the trailer. You need 1 yard? Here have 3. Try stopping 700 lbs as it rams into the line of scrimmage.

I see where Rivals now list TC as a 3*.

Must've just happened today... odd

 

[IBCandW]

Guess Rivals wasn't as impressed with Cody the 2nd time
around...I still think they believe he is a solid prospect though.

Someone must have complained about all the 4*'s Bama has gotten commitments from.

They dropped Cody's Rivals Ratings from 5.8 to 5.7 (low 4* to high 3*) and raised Damion Square's from 5.6 to 5.7 (middle 3* to high 3*).

Fair trade, IMO.

Square moves so well to be 270 lbs.

Once Cody drops a few pounds, he'll be worth his weight in gold.

That would be ALOT of money:biggrin:

 

[rtr1973]

RTO,

Speaking of Square.... did anyone ever find out the correct spelling of his first name, Damian (Scout) or Damion (Rivals)?

 

[rgw]

I figured Cody was a project anyway, so a high 3* seems right to me. He's the kind of guy who needs a S&C program that will help use his frame to the fullest. Give him a year, and he could be an asset in the middle of the defense.

"Give him a year"????????............he will start next year......and plug up our middle..........folks will throw away that part of their offensive play book when they play us.........this man is going to be huge and make a statement!!!!!!!!!

I betcha this guy core strength is not up to SEC snuff yet. He's just a big body right now who needs to be honed into big bodied beast.

Well, we don't actually know what exactly he could handle come in Fall 2008, but I seriously doubt that Coach Saban would've signed on a JUCO player and make him a "project". I just think that he's not going to be used on every play because of his size. He's obviously going to have work his butt off in the weightroom this spring to shed some weight and I'm sure that he will also.
