YES, YES, YES 10000X over. Huge, huge get.
If this helps land his brother, i mean, wow. Huge get.

It's only one year. But he's for sure eligible. It's a fantastic get, shoring up an area where depth is badly needed.

Yeah he is. A three-man guard rotation of a RS-So Kendrick Green, a RS-So Larry Boyd and a RS-Sr Petitbon is a nice position to be in.
If a third tackle can step up and give us similar depth we'll be cooking with gas. Kievan Myers?
EDIT: Or was he playing tackle at Bama? Maybe reverse those two. You figure he'll stay playing where he has been if this is his last year.

It's only one year for Richie but it's an obvious lead in to our attempts to potentially recruit his younger brother.

Adds a senior too for class balance purposes. A+

Myers looks like an interior lineman to me but I've heard he's really gotten into shape.
I would think Slaughter would be more likely to end up as an OT but I don't really know.
Cerny was in there at times to replace Lowe. I don't think the staff trusts Trainer.
This Spring is going to be really interesting.

I wouldn't rule out Boyd beating out Green. Yes Green is very athletic, but if anyone watched the offensive breakdowns of last years games, he has a long way to go.

It looks like it although I guess Myers could battle for that spot as well.

The PFF ratings I found had Green as the third best OL behind NA and Palcho. Green did fine for a RS Freshman and will only get better.

So assume Thomas is in Champaign, and now Petitbon. One more spot left? Is my math right?
Joel Goodson

Right, he was third out of five...
I am not saying he will not develop into a really good OL. I am saying Larry Boyd is a great talent. If we just got a grad transfer guard from Alabama, then that spot is locked down. Would anyone be shocked if I said Boyd was better than Green? Not really
That's my understanding as well. The table is set about as nicely as anyone could ask for KT.
That should be correct.
man watching his high school highlight man this dude goes crazy running back was the GOAT reggie corbin so let see if he and corbin can make that magic work at #littyville it lit
For a RS freshman, I thought he had a pretty good year too. Has some speed and can move laterally.
This is really big news for that reason.
I had mentioned this a week or two ago, I had heard that he was planning to come, but no one had any other info.
