Unconquered

Cam always plays with attitude.

Well, one of the DT was likely to move...we thought it was Mitchell, but if it's Cam, you've got to trust the staff on this one. They know what these kids can do after all these practices, and if they'd rather have Cam on the OL than Mitchell, I'd like to see how it plays out before making any judgments.

I think he played DE in high school. One of those massive 3-4 ends I think.

Patiently waiting on the resident insiders to confirm

We may be seeing Jimbo going all in on 2012 trying to maximize a shot at a natty with a senior QB, if true.

atgreek already confirmed on the first page

Cam has first round talent at DT. This is definitely interesting.

And if he does move over, hopefully he starts at LT and it must mean that Mitchell and Goldman are outrageous, because Cam is legit.

I love this move.

First off, look at the DT depth.

Experienced returners: Tim Jernigan, Demonte McAllister, Darius Cummings, Jaccobi McDaniel, Everett Dawkins

New guys: Derrick Mitchell, Eddie Goldman, Justin Shanks, NLS

Then you see Sneat and Bain (who's commitment may be solidified by this move)

Also...look at Cam Erving's game. He plays nasty. He is getting PF calls at DT all the time. He has LONG arms...the guy has OL written all over him.

he played both in HS, and was an all state on both sides of the ball

literally nothing like Erving at all

See how he adapts to the change during spring drills and practice...he may get destroyed or he may pancake everyone in his path. If they put him at guard his advantage is that he knows how interior linemen operate. Don't see any reason why this would really hurt.

If it's evident offensive line ins't his calling the coaches simply say you're a hell of a defensive tackle, you now have a better grasp of the other side of the ball. Hope you learned a thing or two.

What's the weakest spot on the team? What is the strongest/second strongest unit on the team? There lies your answer to the move.

Nobody knows how good Mitchell and NLS have looked at DT. If the coaches are good with the move, it must mean they are very comfortable with what they have at DT or are worried about OL. Plus it is quite possible and IMO a good idea for Jacobbi to redshirt this year, get his knee better and come back strong in 2013. Then there is always the possibility of Terry Bell coming back for 2013 as well.

So in 2013 you could have at DT:

Sr. Demonte McCalister, Jacobbi McDaniel
Jr. Tim Jernigan
So. Eddie Goldman, NLS, Mitchell
Fr. Shanks (if he shirts) Bain, Senat

Potentially: Terry Bell or another 2013 recruit

I know he is 6'5, but I think Cam would make a monster Guard. Especially if he puts on another 10 or 15 pounds like everyone expects him to. I love Cam as a DT, but think he could be a much bigger factor for our team if he can be a monster OL.

Maybe he saw the movie "Blindside" and all that talk about how LTs make so much money, combined with the fact that we have no idea who is going to be our LT next year, had him in Jimbo's office the next day.

tits was all state his senior year.............. defensively
