First two-deep roster for the 2019 season

[Saint3333]

Drink has never been a coach on a team that didn’t go to a bowl or in fact win it.

He picks winners!

[asu66]

Any chance of seeing a change in this come week 2? Some names absent I expected to see (obviously Sutton will be in)

Unless I missed something (and that's possible) Sutton's court case will have to have some resolution before he's back in good grace with the university and with the team. His district court appearance isn't until 9/19/19. If all goes well for him, he might make the trip to Chapel Hell. Playing there might be a s-t-r-e-t-c-h. It's there and then that we learn how firm a grip Drink will maintain on his players and their off-field ethos, pathos and logos.

Drink announced it was a 1 game suspension. Sutton should be good to go for all the other games.

How the hell did Noah Hannon lose weight this offseason? He’s only 265 now, that can’t be right.

I read or heard a while back that they bulked him up (I think to around 280) in the spring, but Clark felt like he didn't move as well at that size. So I'd guess that weight actually is pretty accurate.

Noah held his own as a true freshman at Georgia and more than held his on at Penn State. I’m not at all worried about how he will perform. Impressive young man!!!!

Thanx, dunno how I missed it! '9ers won't be likin' this news! ✔

1) Ericsaid is in hiding now. DBG isn’t taking ZT’s job, or even QB 2-3.
But i do expect big things from DBG in the near future
2) Raykwon Anderson cracking the depth chart at WR Isn’t shocking, but surprised not as KR/PR too. His recruiting film seemed to show him as a great returner as well, but we all know Evans is extremely solid.
3) Lyle Heirs is in the mix at OL which isn’t surprising, but I also expected to see Dowdy and McFarland on there too.
4) having 2 true freshmen OLBs behind Davis-Gaither is both encouraging and a little worrisome. Expect a big season from ADG and hope he stays healthy.

I still win...you admitted to it.

Haven't been hiding. Just busy building my probability sheets for NFL and CFB.

Nice try... I don't think anyone here ever said DBG wasn't going to be a great player, but everyone except you knew he wasn't taking ZT's job away this year.

I wouldn't be too worried about the Freshmen at OLB. Both have earned that spot at backup. Also, Ryan Huff can come down from his Safety position to help fill the void if need be.
Raykwon might get some run at KR/PR but only if he is seeing action at WR. You wouldn't want him back there for maybe four or five plays a game as you don't want to burn a shirt.

Oh, and FYI for those of you that will be at the game Saturday. Keep an eye on #31 Nick Hampton. Dude looks like to he is going to be a special player for us.

I too am on the Nick Hampton hype train! He has great get off and prototypical size/speed. Is it Saturday yet?

Absolutely. And now I'm going to go bankrupt because his forecasts for wins work out so well.

If Raykwon is number 2 at receiver, isn't burning his redshirt already an option being considered? Or is it likely this is one of the 4 games he would be projected to play?

Presumably they're considering it, but the current 2-deep also doesn't include Corey Sutton (and lists Keishawn Watson as #2 at both outside spots). Once Sutton returns, I expect Watson will be a factor in the slot as well.

Drink talked about redshirts, pretty much said they would use 2 games and then get cautious. Said we would see true freshman on the field.

How the hell did Noah Hannon lose weight this offseason? He’s only 265 now, that can’t be right.

I read or heard a while back that they bulked him up (I think to around 280) in the spring, but Clark felt like he didn't move as well at that size. So I'd guess that weight actually is pretty accurate.

Noah held his own as a true freshman at Georgia and more than held his on at Penn State. I’m not at all worried about how he will perform. Impressive young man!!!!

I can't say enough good things about Noah. He's been coming by our tailgate these past couple of years - likes to get up and see the campus wake up before heading in to the team meeting and breakfast. Has said several times that he likes the reminder of what the fans bring to their game and the effort we all put in. Good solid (mentally and physically) guy that deserves all good things coming to him. If you get a chance, ask him about his Dad playing at East Carolina, and how glad he is to wear his number at App.

On the weight: Apparently he'd been working out so hard (back from the time with Sirignano) that keeping weight was a struggle. Glad Clark and he have figured out a less bulky spot that seems to work. Apparently when you're in the shape our guys are in, eating becomes a chore that they get tired of. Nice problem to have

Go back and listen to Drink’s press conference from Monday. They will evaluate guys as the season goes and see if they will see enough snaps to be used as a Freshmen or save them. I would suspect that it will be harder to keep Deshaun Davis off the field this year than Anderson.
