Rodney Scott.

He is gonna be a great one.

Agreed. He's like Bolden and McCluster rolled into one package.

He certainly has talent and a lot of want-to. A lot of potential there. I also think that Grandy just might work out ok on kick-off returns.

Buford Mcgee (and a couple of others) taught me to be more reserved with my predictions... But I will never forget the fist time he touched the football!!!

Yep. He took it to the house.

I like Scott more and more every time he gets in. That kid is going to be great.

Well, we've seen what Grandy can do. And with the explosive speed of Rodney Scott, I say we put Grandy and Scott returning kick-offs together. Unless I've missed something, I have not been super impressed with Bolden on kick-offs. And, Yes, I know that they are both true freshmen, but at this point, who cares as long as we can get some better starting field position.

Grandy obviously looked good against UAB, but against Bama I think he was suspect on kickoffs. I think before we proclaim Grandy or Scott as great we need to see how they play against a real SEC defense...so I guess we will have to withhold judgment until we play Auburn

Grandy looked good overall on kickoffs against Alabama. He made the wrong decision a time or two and didn't down the ball when he should have, but it was his first game doing it. I think that he has learned from that film and I think that him back on kickoffs is a great asset and rests Brandon. Scott is a good running back and is going to get some good runs against anyone. Of course, he is going to run better against UAB than against an SEC defense, but he can help us out. If we use him too much, however, he is going to fumble. That is especially a concern against a team like Arkansas that has a good turnover ratio. He should get some touches but we need to be cautious that he doesn't turn the ball over.
