I saw him on South Campus a few weeks ago. Limping, but no crutches. I hope he plays again he's been through so much in life.

wayne williams needs to make immediate impact. Right now there's a rotation of crume, w. williams, sloan, coleman and possibly josh manley moved inside? Ive always thought manley was more of a DT then a DE. Im not expecting raymon to be ready. Does Zeke Johnson stay outside or moved in?

i also think ZJones may be a bigger loss than anticipated. He wreaks a lot of havoc inside with his size.
We'll have Crume (305), Sloan (325) and Marcus Coleman (270) on deck. Wayne Williams (330) is going to have to work hard in the off season to get in shape and up to speed. With Raymon who knows.
Would could be in a little trouble here. Thompson, Johnson and Robinson all go 270 plus but they're just not inside players in my opinion and it's a little disconcerting that IJohnson suffered a concussion.
Manley is also a redshirt freshman right now and is also listed at 270. Maybe he moves inside.
We may need to go the JUCO route here but no prospects have popped up that I know of.
Shame that Holley isn't considering us at this point. Kid would probably play as a true frosh.

?!?!? Really? Then, thank God I am wrong. I was under the impression it was a total ACL, MCL, PCL tear/knee dislocation with nerve damage, like Cody Catalina's horrific injury.
Happy to admit fault on that one, but I still think it would be a minor miracle if he is ready for the opener.

He might not have had the surgery yet as they waited for swelling to go down.

Zeke seems to be far too disruptive on the outside to move him in but we'll see how he progresses. Could see Ron Thompson adding more mass and moving inside.

he didn't
No way Zeke gets moved inside. He has the most potential on the team to be a game changer. IMO if anyone it will be Thompson. He could easily put on the size

well said
Great young man, needs all our prayers for a complete recovery, would love to see a defensive line of Raymon, Williams, inside, Thompson, Johnson outside, speed and power. You can't teach size, and they all are in the 6-4 to 6-6 range, Thompson, Johnson probably can carry 285, and Raymon, Williams, 325+.
