Linemen

[I. Melvin]

How does it look for us re: O-Line and D-Lines prospects?

Really think it's key to never miss a year without signing quality linemen.

Thanks in advance!

You're certainly correct in noting that we need some big bodies added to this recruiting class before it's filled up. I believe we signed 10 linemen last year, so that was a relatively large class---both in numbers and in size. So maybe we don't need many, but rather a few of good quality.

As of now, it looks as though we'll have Miller back next year---and that's as good as landing a prized recruit, or better since he has a year under his belt.

Our several good frosh will be better just from the year of experience.

While we don't have much in the way of big men lined up yet for this class, all we need to have a really good year is to sign the 4 Ky boys who are still uncommitted: Jeff Adams, Corey Peterson, Josh Minton and Micah Johnson. If we could land all or most of these, we'll be OK for big men next year The UK staff is working these guys hot and heavy right now---even if they did start late on Minton.

OL Justin Jeffries 6-5 290 Louisville

DL Jo'Dane Craigman 6-4 255 Juco CA

Signed last year and expected to be in the upcoming class:

OL/DL Mike Cross 6-4 300

Other likely signees:

OL Jeff Adams 6-6 320 Trigg Co. KY
OL Russell Nenon 6-4 300 Memphis, TN
ATH Micah Johnson 6-2 260 Ft. Campbell
DL Jordan Stephens 6-3 230 Monroeville PA
DL Corey Peters 6-3 295 Louisville
DL Josh Minton 6-2 240 Pulaski SW KY
DL Trevis Hodges 6-0 270 Sanford FL

Isn't Aaron Miller expected to return to the team next year. He started at OT as a freshman last year. That will be a major boost to the OL.

RV, I surely hope your predictions come true. FWIW, I heard a fan at the Cat Walk say that defensive linemen Corey Peters will end up at Auburn. I surely hope you're right and he's wrong. :)

What is Aaron Miller doing this year? Is he in school somewhere?

I believe he took the year off to take care of some "personal/family" issues.

Just posted some update on several linemen from South Carolina were looking at. A couple of new names to put on the "watch list."
