Re: Julio Jones

Man it feels good to start discussing Julio being on our team. No more "...if he signs with Bama." RS or play him right away? Great problem to have! :)

Re: Julio Jones

i doubt he'll start but he'll get alot of playing time
In my opinion, Julio is better than any receiver we have on campus right now - including DJ Hall. Given our graduation hit in the receiving corp, I don't think whether or not he starts is even in question. Learning routes is not that difficult. Receiver is a position that a person can play right away. If you look around D1, you see very good frosh receivers every year, and they were not the caliber of Julio coming out of HS.

I am not putting too high of expectations on him...I know he will make frosh mistakes, but I say he gets his first start against Clemson. He is that good.

Re: Julio Jones

i would have thought that would have been an important part of discussions with his possible teams prior to committment. he is the nations number one receiver prospect and i therefore find it very hard to imagine him not getting significant playing time in his freshman year. i just hope he is good enough for us to start worrying about whether he'll stick around for his senior year!

Isn't nice to talk about Julio and not have the posts moved to the recruiting forum? :D

Anywho, JJ is the most popular player on the team right now. He will start at some point this season. I'm not sure if he'll start all or most games, but he will start. Keep in mind though, we have a lot of talent at WR in this class and last class, but still... he'll start. ;)
