He can be a great future NFL corner and still not be be one of the two best in the SEC. It’s a tough comparison.

Is Hardy even expected to play this year? Or am I misjudging the time needed to recover from being shot?

And I predict he will be 1st team again in December. SEC reporters are like most reporters. Lazy.

They are, but the two guys they picked are rated a little ahead of Jones in a draft analysis I looked up. Who knows.

Brice Pollock was also high on that list. We coulda had a real pair of killers at CB.

I probably would have had Kam Franklin on that list instead of Echols. Regardless. the Rebs are loaded everywhere.

While they have some talent they are not loaded. First they dont have Lane and Weiss. Not sure why that’s not being mentioned JDB isn’t the play caller that Lane and Weiss were. Lane has a way of disguising weaknesses on offense with play calling. They lost their best WR and TE, replacing both tackles on offense. Where is the pass rush coming from. Lost their best DE and LB to LSU. While the defense will be solid I don’t think it will be as good as it was in 25.

Have to agree with the shepherd on this one. First of all, their OC and DC aren't really matched well. Plus it's just natural to take a step back. Unless they really have just taken another step as a program in this NIL era, this will happen. They'll also put too much on the shoulders of Chambliss - tends to happen when a star QB comes back after the true coming out season. Not that that is bad - folks just become too dependent on a QB in those years.

Looks like the reason behind that “snub” is because he’s not considered to be one of the top 2 CB‘s in the SEC. Odd that the 2 schools in the SEC with the most NC’s over the last decade have what’s considered the best secondary. Puzzling, to say the least!
