    I'd say that you are spot on....except for maybe I'd give Barksdale higher than a B. I'd give him a B+ or an A-

    Nice list.

    Oh, and you're on the money with Nevis, too.:thumb:

    Nevis is giving us Chad Lavalais, Kyle Williams-type effort these two games. Well-deserved "A+", IMO

    I think he'll improve, but he did get beat on the outside a few times at UNC.

    I think Ridley played better than a B. I would give him a A-.

    If he hangs onto the football, he'll improve, too. Got to hold him responsible for those key fumbles at this point, though.

    Not if you factor in the severity of his fumble against UNC.

    If you would average his grades from UNC and Vandy, yeah, I can see him with a "B".

    If UNC were a written test, Ridley answered all the questions correctly until he got to the 20-point essay at the end of the exam and decided to skip it.

    Claiborn at a C+ is ok. But the Manthieu kid has to be around a B+or A-. For a kid just out of high school, he has a chance to be one of the better CB at LSU. The Taylor kid for being a JR. is still missing some of his reads. Reid just needs the playing time under his belt.

    You may be right. Last week was a disaster.
