The House of Blue

If they are looking for a physical and thick corner to replace Caffey in the freshman class, Reed and Tiller are probably the best bets. Nothing at all against Quinn, but he doesn't (or didn't) have the size of Reed or Tiller.

I spoke with Reed, Tiller, Quinn and Mike Cassity today and am working on a full story on the defensive backs (particularly corners) situation.

In short: They're all going to get a look. Whether that means they all play or not, that's to be determined by the camp ahead.

Based on the way each talked and the way Cassity spoke, my money would be on Reed to play. Obviously any bets at this point would be foolish since they've all practiced exactly zero times.

The fact that Caffey won't be playing shouldn't affect the gameday participation any particular Freshman receives as Neloms will now get the minutes Caffey would have gotten.
