One of the more interesting things I learned yesterday was totally unrelated to spring practice. Within the program, there is a feeling incoming freshman Jamel Cook can start at safety next season. This would certainly shake up the secondary and also alleviate a possible weak spot on the defense. It also shows how highly regarded Cook is, if he is viewed as a possible starter as a true freshman.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up being an All American linebacker, because at 6″4 190, he’s going to fill out in a year or two.
What’s his 40 time?

Not sure
No he’s a DB all the way. He’s athletic and agile enough to play corner at that size.
There’s been a lot of feeling going on around Spring practice lately… earlier, the blogger said “The feeling inside the program is Browne starts the Alabama game”…. and now, “there is a feeling incoming freshman Jamel Cook can start at safety next season.”… I got a feeling… that tonight’s gonna be a good night!
Do you think we’ll beat UCLA for the third time?
It won’t be easy, but it’s at a neutral site, so I like our chances
I’m not doubting the kid and I’d sure welcome his talent if he were good enough to start as a true freshman, but I just don’t see that happening…I could see him or Tell beating out Chris Hawkins. Hawkins is NOT a safety.
This is the flip from Florida State. Anyone know the story behind that?
I didn’t know we had anyone who could recruit well in Florida since Coach O left, especially well enough to get one to flip from FSU.
