BILBO MAKES THE TRANSITION
RamblinWreck.com
Coach Gailey has already proven his ability to recognize talent and put it in the best position to succeed. This transition could end up being a crowing acheivement for Bilbo and Gailey if it works. Of course, the mental side seemed like the biggest hurdle. Man if he can become a solid playmaker, that could surpass Daniels as a "feel good" story.

ANOAI ADDS QUICKNESS
Rana Cash - AJC
Another guy who could have a breakout season on the d-line..... Also note that PJ Daniels is practicing again. As excited as I am about the WR core, glad to see that our talented DB's seemed to have the upper hand on Wednesday.

OFFENSIVE LINE COMING TOGETHER
Adam Van Brimmer - Morris News Service
Well, you lose guys like Nat Dorsey and Hugh O'Reilly and there are holes to fill. There are still many questions to be answered, but at this point answers will only come after kick-off.

RECRUITING TRAIL
Michael Carvell - AJC
Mention of Tavares Kearney, a TE prospect.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW - BOBBY ROSS
Tom Pedulla - USAToday
My buddy "T" sent me this link. Nice article on Ross taking up the Army challenge. I for one hope that he is successfull. Of course it cannot get any worse than winless.

CAUTION TO ALL RECRUITS - BEWARE CLEMSON
Jon Solomon - the State
Ok the article is actually titled "Hamilton cites lack of support", but it does appear to be a cautionary tale. On the surface it looks like once Derrick Hamilton decided to go pro, T.Bowden was hands off. Who really knows the truth, but sure looks like Coach washed his hands of the guy. I sure hope this isn't something we would see from Coach Gailey. I was getting the feeling that there was some bad blood with Nat Dorsey, but that seems to have been worry about nothing. We know coach has been using his extensive contacts to help guys out - for example really promoting Tony Hollings. For Bowden, this is not the kind of rep that you want in order to attract talented recruits.
