Unconquered

No he isn't. He lacks the size needed to play the position and DE is a much weaker position than DT.

You're wrong. Not much else to say. Oh and 20% of 260 is 42 pounds. I said 30 which is 11%. UNFATHOMABLE.

"Mitchell to the OL. Josh, Corey, everyone knows it."

And Josh replied with "Nothing has been confirmed yet."

Which, you'd have to be numb to not know what that means.

Musi, I thought it was funny you were declaring we made something up and then I told you it wasnt and you mocked than and then you ask me for info. We're cool.

To couple with that Trickett always says he'd rather sign DL sometimes because he doesn't want them to have any habits. He loves blank slates and Derrick would be one.

Unfortunately out of all the OL we landed last year only one seems to be an OT, Hart. Matias was slotted as the LT but is obviously playing G now. Pettis, Jackson, Barron, Carter (maybe but he ended up being a RS along with Pettis), Lovelady are all G or C. Imo we have 4 OTs on the team in Hart, Faircloth, Glauser, and Watson. That is 3 JRs and 1 So, it probably would help depth if we could add a RS Fr.
Props to fsufsu for finding the exact quotes. All that being said it is not definite, our coaches do not force position moves and obviously coming out of HS Mitchell preferred DL.

Newberry day one at FSU was 268 .... Newberry and Mitchell will get a look at OT this Spring .... I see one of them making the move full time. Stample may get a look at OG but his got great upside at NT ( more so then Mitchell at DT and Newberry at DE ) . I think both Newberry and Mitchell have more upside at OT than they do at DE/DT. Yes , I have seen all three practice at FSU.

I highly doubt a kid would be open to making a position switch in his junior year unless he's open to a redshirt to learn the position. Hicks looked good as a DE in his limited snaps at that position, Dent looked good with even less attempts at him. For Mitchell or Newberry to switch now would mean that last year was a completely wasted year for both of them.
LOS to RB/WR? That makes 100% NO SENSE at all!! Two positions we're NOT hurting at all are RB and WR where as safety we're paper thin.

I can't say one way or another whether these position switches are in the cards but I agree totally with the statement above... People seem to get bogged down in the numbers.. Size isnt everything, people seem to forget that around here. Newberry can play OT.. He proved that against the South Carolina freakmonster at the UA game.. If the coaches think its the best move I'll defer to them.

Hicks played tight end in high school and got switched to DE once he got here. It's not that huge of a deal for him.
