Congrats, Mr. Cody. Welcome to the family.
Does this mean that he will be reporting in June? That would be a huge help to the young man in terms of getting 400lbs up to SABAN-speed.
Terry, what doe this mean for Motley?

I can't answer the question on Motley. My gut says he comes back on the defensive line but I weigh that against thoughts of how much of this depends on Murphy. Dareus making the grades throws another wrench in the mix. (Heck, I'm enjoying the hell out of this...whens the last time we've talked about a number of prospects on the lines that we wondered where they would end up knowing they can contribute no matter where?)
In this case, qualify means cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse (according to Cody) which means he'll report in June.
Odds and Ends on the recruiting forum discusses a little on both guys.

runswithscissors said:it amused me reading some AU folks' responses after Cody committed. some said that because he was so big that there was no way to be effective, and that theres no way his footwork can be that great, etc. but you can't just footwork away 6'5" and 400 lbs on the D-line. you have to account for that somewhere, double teaming or chipping with a TE, something. he may not get a sack every down, but i think he will be consistant at if nothing else disrupting the play, especially on running plays.

That goes to show they know nothing about the NG's responsibility in a 3-4 defense.
...not that I'm surprised.
