    We pick up a big 4-star from John Curtis.

    Big as in 6'7 and 300lbs. Great addition!

    We sure do have a ton of really big O linemen. Great pick up.

    Could any of these enormous beasts play defense? Or is it easier for a guy to move from D to O?

    Seems like the more common move is defense to offense. I know Joe Barksdale and Carnell Stewart were recruited as DT's. I might have this backward....was Kyle Kipps recruited as a TE and moved to DT, or the other way around?

    I think we should give each of them a shot at QB before turning them over to the defense. Envisioning sort of an old school open tryout.

    The coach was still pushing and Bama still wanted...LSU knew we were behind on him since before last NSD.

    Marcus Spears was recruited as TE and switched to DE. Not sure who Kipps is. Don't remember him.

    I thought Bama had backed off?
