Anyone moving this offseason? It happens every year at virtually every school -- there's nothing wrong with it. I'm just curious what people have heard. The only one I've heard -- and I have no confirmation -- is that Tony Hawkins might be moved to safety. That would fit his jersey number (38) better, anyway.

Chris Phillips .. which has been mentioned more than enough on here..

I wonder if Fred Turner is going back to CB? We've got Mapps coming up and already have Henderson, Martin, Dorsey and Fitzgerald..

Not that I have heard anything on it, but Dorsey was recruited as a Safety/RB. I have wondered for a while whether they would at least look at him there in the Spring.

Right, I meant to include Phillips, too. My mistake.

I haven't heard anything about any of the running backs moving. The RB coach at the recruiting function was happy to have all of them. He was very happy to have Fitz in his fold.

I just think we've got to come up with another cornerback from somewhere. Whether it's Makinde or Goode or Settle stepping in, or whether it's because Bryan McCann really is ready to play as a true freshman, or because we move a great athlete from another spot .... whatever the reasons, I'd like to see one more stud athlete at CB.

I heard a couple of linemen might be moving from one side to the other, but I haven't heard who. Anyone know?

I thought in another thread, Ben Poynter's father mentioned that Ben might move to the tackle spot if Holmes is really ready to play.

I can't seem to find that thread now...anyone have a little clearer memory?

You are correct!

There's talk of Chase Smith moving to offense, too, although I don't know if that's final or official.

Maybe right tackle?

by **Roach** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 12:17 pm

If his strength is as extraordinary as has been reported, that might not be a bad move (can anyone confirm?) Talk about a guy who could deliver a great initial "punch" ....

Any truth to the rumor that a WR is going to move over CB? If so, it's obviously not going to be Bobby Chase or Rey Pellerin, and I highly doubt Columbus Givens or Emmanuel Sanders will flip sides. Sledge? Warren? Lowery? Cleveland? For what it's worth, Lowery is the only non-senior in that bunch. Anyone I'm forgetting?

i think sledge is our most underrated wr, and this year he should make a big impact in his second year on the field... expecially if he gets to line up inside against linebackers, so i dont see any reason for moving him yet, he's stil young. as for the others I don't see PB moving any wr to the otherside, but he has been known to switch his RBs to the other side of the ball
