The Next Big Things of the SEC…
One of the themes of the SEC this year, especially after the graduation of an all-time great collegian like Tim Tebow, is transition. New players will step in and make their mark in the SEC. Some picks will be obvious. (SPOILER ALERT: The thumbnail picture is a hint. Or if you’re not one of the people who are actually looking here for what the search list is. Freaks are coming here.)
As such, your humble host here will attempt to deign who will and who will not rock the party that rocks the body in 2010.
Alabama: Now, for the next big thing, you’ll find that a lot of these will be players of a skill position phylum. Not for the Crimson Tide. D.J. Fluker’s physical gifts at tackle were good enough that there was something to the rumors of him starting right away as a true freshman. Cooler heads prevailed, but he will be rolling some sucker D-linemen soon enough.
Arkansas: As much as I want to believe that Jatashun Beacham will grow up to be the next Jared Lorenzen, the Razorbacks NBT looks as if it will be a wide receiver. We all know about Greg Childs and his awesome and Joe Adams and his toughness. But Cobi Hamilton? He looks like he has a chance to force the issue.
Auburn: If I actually put up a post about why I want Cameron Newton to succeed and actually put up a picture of him on this post? I’m not gonna switch it up to Michael Dyer out of nowhere.
Florida: They got to the SEC Championship with a passing game that made Addazio a word of curse for those in the Gator Chomp nation. But if an electrifying athlete like Andre Debose was healthy? History might have changed.
Georgia: Becoming a 3-4 OLB from a 4-3 defensive end is a dangerous proposition. You have a chance to unleash hell, and you have a chance to bastardize a talented defensive end. Justin Houston has a chance to be very good or very disappointing. I’m hedging my bet, but I’m leaning toward the latter.
Kentucky: There are openings on the defensive line. Veterans with four years of experience have now gone to Sundays. A true freshman will make his presence felt. His name is Mister Cobble. His name is Mister Cobble.
LSU: The Tigers have had a tendency to find success in turning over the reins at running back to a true freshman. This year may be no exception. Spencer Ware is a potential electrifier at the tailback spot. And there’s an opening.
Mississippi State: Not since the days of A Christmas Story has there been a Bumphis with an opportunity to make an impact. Considering that the Bulldogs have lost their mighty runner in Anthony Dixon? Chad Bumphis and his pass catching will be a key to success for this season.
Ole Miss: With all the graduation that kid giggidy has felt over the past two seasons? A more conservative tack will be a good fit for the Rebels. That being said? Brandon Bolden has that certain BenJarvus Green-Ellis about him perfect for the role.
Tennessee: In recent years, Tennessee has had a bevy of talented, but problematic running backs. With Bryce Brown’s transfer and Montario Hardesty’s graduation, the next man to step in the hole? Tauren Poole. He could get 30o touches this year.
South Carolina: You want to know where the next Dexter McCluster may reside? It may be in Gamecock Country. The Name? Ace Sanders. His game? Electricity in space. Among the tall trees in the passing game? He may have a big year one.
Vanderbilt: I’m a believer that bloodlines can be a harbinger for success, especially at a position like quarterback. I am also a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers. Thus, if I were to choose anyone else besides Jordan Rodgers for the Commodores? I would be fooling myself, and you as well.
