Number Changers

Submitted by Kilgore Trout on

In a lighter topic from the media guide, it looks like there were several number changers. 

 

Player Old Number New Number
     
Josh Furman 6 14
Jack Kennedy 20 14
JT Floyd 12 18
Thomas Gordan 15 30
Isaiah Bell 26 34
Terrance Talbott 22 37
Marrell Evans 9 51
Terric Jones 14

no number

The interesting ones to me are Talbott and Jones.  Talbott and Jake Ryan both as 37 doesn't make any sense at all as they are both defensive / special teams players and couldn't be on the field at the same time.  Jones having no number is probably just a nothing, but it's weird.

I had heard that the odds are pretty good that Teric Jones will be a medical casualty. Terry Talbott had back surgery that may make him a medical too. Potentially adding those guys to Pace and Kellen Jones, and you can start to see how they are thinking to get to 26 scholarships if need be.

I think they are at 18 before accounting for K. Jones, Pace, T. Jones, and Talbott. I think we reached 85 on signing day, will lose 15 seniors after next season, and had Vinopal, C. Christian, and Williamson leave putting us at 18. The loss of these 4 (of which we seem more certain of the first two) would put us at 22 I think. Was there one other guy that I missed that bumps the number up to 23?

All the numbers selected seem terrible in my book.

I love 12, 20, 22, 9 etc..

14,18, 30 and 34 seem like slow numbers.

I still think they should've had the running backs be 18, 19, 15*, etc. with Rodriguez so that it would be tougher to distinguish the RB from Denard on read plays. In the middle of a play, 16 and 18 look pretty similar, especially if you're supposed to be spying the QB or something. If the LB has to think about it for just a split second, it might not be enough time to react.

Mike Cox didn't see the field as much as VSmith.

Maybe I missed something, but what happened to Kellen Jones? Also, I thought Pace was doing better...no?? Thanks for any info.

 

After looking around on the internet, I see that there may be some legal issues with K Jones. Not sure what they are, but it looks like he is off the team for now.
