RG- Juan Gaston vs. Michael Uini. Calhoun may get in the mix. Gaston prolly they guy when SEC play starts
S- Jacorey Thomas has had a solid all camp. Looks like he will hold off the transfers (Branch/Maddox) although they will play.
RB2- An argument can be made this doesn’t matter and I’d understand that. At this point, all indicators are that it’s Bo Walker and then the others. Chauncey Bowens had a strong 1st scrimmage. The Big Backs (RodRo, McCray) will be used, but trew insiders have been lesser impressed by them. Looks like #24 Bo Walker will be RB2
CB- The forecast is chalk based on the experience. Everette and Harris will start, Robinson will play, with Jones getting some burn as well. What happens if Ellis has yet another scrimmage in which he turns the QB over? How does Kirby balance rewarding what’s been earned, playing the best players, vs. rewarding guys who’ve done it his way (waited their turns and grinded throughout)? I’m going to say what I’ve said about Gaston. When SEC play starts, it feels damn hard not to have Ellis Robinson IV on the field.

Sentell said Bo Walker is a "Kirby guy". McConkey was a "Kirby guy". It sounds like Kirby knows how to find those diamonds in the rough.

Someone claimed it wasn't wise to start a Freshman in the SEC but I think Gaston may be one of those rare ones who are built for this.

Bo Walker is a pretty good name for an SEC RB.
