I was just looking at the roster and noticed some interesting things:

Kris Weeks apparently shrunk about four or five inches and is now 6'1"

Spencer Hollie and Jerry Saena have been eating well, now weighing 348 and 335 respectively

Christian Holloway shrunk a few inches and gained about 60 pounds, at 6'3" 348

Tony Richards, listed as an OT, is down to 232 lbs., so that should work out well.

yes but Shelby Walker is all the way up to 153

Weeks is definitely taller than 6-1

some of these kids weight is going to result in position change. Holloway, Saena back to DT. Richards-can he play TE because 6-5, 232 will never see the field in OLM. I doubt the fat boys can play in a fast break offense at OLM.

Saena, Holloway and Hollie maybe proving my theory that extra food stipend/training table may have the unintended consequence of a lot of overweight players

I'm hoping it's just a glitch in the system.

I remember Hyder being listed at 330 last year- he's at 346 now. Might be a candidate for two-down DT

Kris weeks was a year or 2 behind me in h.s

If I can remember correctly he's probably about 6'3 or 6'4

Yeah, I was being facetious about him being 6'1" now. He's definitely taller than that, I think the page is messed up.

I wish Richards had his dad's size.

Is he a good athlete-if he can run why not try him at TE at least as a blocker. If he can block as an OT then he can block as a TE. At 6-5, 232 if accurate he won't play one down at OT but he is the PERFECT size for TE. Your going to see experiments like that. Going over the roster I conservatively counted at least 15-17 scholarship players whose 2014 positions don't technically exist or they are physically incompatible with the dimensions (speed, height weight) that Morris looking at for their positions in the Spread or the 4-2-5. I'm not saying several can't contribute or even start but they will have to transition. Example, Guys like Prescott Line can contribute significantly but not as an every down RB in this offense. He could be quite effective as a FB/HB especially on running plays. Great thing about this offense is that it can utilize skills in multiple ways that the Run and Shoot can't

Richards played lax in HS -> he probably can run a bit and has decent hands -> TE/DE? Daddy had a mean streak.
Prescott Line - future LB? Morris wants his offensive skill players to be game breakers.
Any WR under 6' tall might need to learn how to play DB.


Btw - I just noticed that we had a freshman DB (Reyes) who (a) didn't attend HS and (b) was assigned #61.

I've watched a bunch of Clemson highlites-there is a place for Prescott as a blocking specialist in the running game. They use a formation where they line up an HB about a yard behind the Guard/Tackle gap on short yardage. He's not ideal but he can put a hat on someone. I think he's too slow for LB and not enough time to make transition worthwhile. He definitely can contribute on special teams

I would imagine Gresham being used over Line as a FB given the extra speed
