Title: WR Darius Hanks Absence Opens Door for Young Receivers-SIAP
Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 01, 2011, 10:15:41 PM
Interesting story. I hadn't thought of this when Hanks was declared ineligible.


With an obscure NCAA rule putting University of Alabama senior Darius Hanks on the sideline for the first two games of the 2011 season, the Crimson Tide enters fall camp next week with an expanded opportunity for its unproven receivers. How might Hanks' absence impact both camp and the first two weeks of the season? Here are a few thoughts on some of the questions Hanks' sit-out raises:

Thanks for posting Marshal. No doubt Carter, Norwood, Gibson, White, or Bell will have to step up. I think all of them will contribute in some ways, but I expect Gibson to have a great year this year. I will bet he will go all out, seeing how this is his Senior year and all. Can't wait! 32 days can not get here fast enough. Roll Tide!

I hope Gibson breaks out this year, but I just don't know. There has been a lot of hype on him in the past about him having a great year, but then he disappears. I would really like to see this senior make a difference. Also, can Carter learn our offense that fast, it leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
