🏈 Markeith Ambles granted release from USC

[gary funderburk]

Bruce Feldman just tweeted "BFeldmanESPN Text from an ACC source: Markeith Ambles' release has been sent to all ACC & SEC schools... The ex-USC WR was the #4 wideout in 2010 Class."

So do we want him?

I believe we were in on him heavy last year. I believe that we have 3 wrs in this class though and may be looking to fill other needs (DL,LBs,etc).

uagrad93, I hate to disagree, but I think when you expect to lose a guy like Julio, and now there's a WR out for the taking that was the #4 WR last year, you're gonna be "in on him" now too, but then again, so far, I personally am comfortable with our WR situation-- looking at who we've recruited that hasnt played since Julio, Maize, and Hanks became the main guys, along with the WR recruits from this year

 

[UAgrad93]

Remember that White, Bell, Norwood, etc., are all young guys in the stable with Maze and Hanks returning as well. I thijnk if we can get a pass rush end or a Jack LB then we take him over another WR. If he is Julio caliber, no doubt, but didn't Ambles get into some trouble in LA for constantly being late to practice and missing meetings or was it another kid?


Now I may be wrong and I will admit it if he does come to BAMA.

I think he'd have to sit for a year anyway, unless he transferred down in class.

 

[UAgrad93]

Joe, does that apply if the school went on probation? I think that would give him a free year but that window may have already closed on him since the sanctions came out. So you may be right, that he would have to sit a year unless he went I-AA (FCS).

He'd still have to sit since he didn't try to jump ship before the season, when the sanctions first hit.

:elephant: I think julio comes back. And if we get the kid,he may not have to sit. Nobody knows yet.

sorry man, i want Julio to come back (and Mark for that matter) as bad as any one else, but I think Julio is as good as gone. I mean he's a potential top 10 pick. thats ALOT of money.

Julio will have to show out at the combine to creep back into the top ten, but I do think he is as good as gone.

Really, I think Ingram is as well. If Trent stays healthy, Mark will continue splitting carries with him which will drive his yardage down. If I were in his shoes, I'd bail. It isn't like you guys will be hurting at running back. Trent is a superstar in the making, Lacey looks really solid also.
