obligatory "sup holmes"

1/23/2007 12:57:45 PM

he looks mighty pissed in that pic

1/23/2007 12:59:31 PM

oh yeah, that guy... pretty good catch for State. I know Georgia was looking at him too. His nickname is "Man Child" and I think he was a bad ass wrestler too

1/23/2007 12:59:47 PM

Can he run the point??

1/23/2007 1:10:54 PM

sounds like a beast...but everything good said about him seemed to come from his Coach, which is just a liiiiiiittle biased

but...GO PACK

"Biography: An All-Northeast Conference 1st team selection, Holmes tallied 44 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss, and 11 sacks in 10 games. He also added two fumble recoveries, one blocked kick, and a safety. For his efforts, Holmes was tabbed Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and 1st team All-American by the National Junior College Athletic Association. The defensive end was tabbed a 2nd team All-American by JC Grid-Wire. "

does juco mean he's going to have academic eligibility problems?

1/23/2007 4:20:01 PM

no ?

1/23/2007 4:21:53 PM

nah the article said he has two years of eligibility. he will enroll this summer.

I just dont get how he is only rated at one start when he is a consensus all american. o well, sounds like manny lawson.

I don't think JUCOs get a star rating.

1/23/2007 4:41:47 PM

sounds like manny lawson??

Manny- 6'5 235 4.4 40

Antoine- 6'4 270 4.7 40


quite different, but this guy is insanely jacked. His coach said he should come in and battle for a starting job from day 1

1/23/2007 4:47:57 PM

^^I was thinking that too until I clicked the link for the full list of JC players

http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=87&p=9&c=4&yr=2007


I thought that 1 star just meant that the player hadn't been evaluated. But how would a consensus all american not get evaluated?

georgia was all over this guy, supposed to get him to visit next week until now. FSU was also trying to get in on the game. Looks like thats all over now though

1/23/2007 4:55:12 PM

and Red Tom cant recruit

pshhh

1/23/2007 5:13:29 PM

1 star

meh

1/23/2007 8:31:41 PM

1/23/2007 9:17:54 PM

that helmet doesn't look like it fits him.

1/23/2007 9:21:36 PM

1st team all-america...

meh

1/23/2007 10:03:00 PM

well, JUCO all america. still though, he should be pretty decent. maybe we could get a little faith in TOB?

1/23/2007 10:14:57 PM

Sweet pick up...TOB gets an 'atta boy'

1/23/2007 10:16:41 PM

^will def. give him faith. Holmes was being looked at by Georgia and FSU

1/23/2007 10:17:18 PM

i sent an email to rivals asking what the deal is. they gave him no stars at all.

1/23/2007 11:19:28 PM

Hell yeah. Red Tom ( ) can get DEs like Amato it seems. Thats one thing about Chuck that I wouldnt mind if it rubbed off on us for awhile longer....

I'll take a 1 star activly being recruited by georgia and Florida state ... we could be in worse company

1/24/2007 1:02:57 AM

wolfpack2105 i was implying that manny lawson was not heavily recruited out of highschool. he himself only had a 2 star ranking. then he became a first round draft pick. hoping this could be a similar situation. I was not talking about physical body.

1/24/2007 10:04:52 AM

Cut his weight down and move him to linebacker. We have a good defensive line with his size and speed he could be one heck of a MLB.
