Catching ability was already posted in here, he can for sure catch. Now it never said anything about blocking though. So who knows.

For proof....
2. J. Finley has made some spectacular plays so far in practices. Coaches like his ability to spread the field, particularly downfield. He's put on some muscle but still has tons of athletic ability and good hands. Looks like it will be him and Tweedie getting alot of PT at the TE spot.
^ don't know how good of a run blocker J. Finley is, that might limit his playing time somewhat, but he definitely appears to have good hands and more speed than D. Thomas. Tweedie is mainly going to be in there for blocking purposes, and you'll probably see some of P. Ulman if they run any two TE sets. Also, remember we've already got one new TE recruit on campus for the spring, Greg Smith. He'll be joined by Britt Mitc for 2-a days in the fall.
I also saw some comments on Melton, my only take is that the kid just needs to learn how to run with a low pad level. Yeah, he looked great in the 1st game of the season last year against Louisana Lafeyete, but you can't run with a high pad level against teams like Ohio State, oklahoma, etc. I've read some reports from Spring practices that he's doing a better job of running with a low pad level, but I'll believe it when I see it in a game. Melton will have a tough time breaking through into the DE rotation if they play him there. You've got Crowder, Robison, Orakpo, C. Brown, B. Ellis, L. Houston and then the 5 star kid we have coming in, Eddie Jones.
That is what I posted earlier in this thread. He is good but needs to run lower to the ground than straight up.
^ Sorry Horry, didn't mean to repeat. I just have visions in my head of Melton keeping that low pad level and just STEAMROLLING some guys, he could really be effective running the ball that way.
he does need to get lower
but this is more of something that sportscasters like to say over and over again and thus it becomes true
like ginobili used to be the xfactor
adrian peterson runs like eric erson
reggie bush is like gale sayers
VY has jackhammer feet
mike williams is raw
hes 6-2 and a shortyardage-goaline back
Well it all depends on your opionion really. But yes, Melton would do better running lower to the ground and utlizing his power.
I was at the first game of the season against LA-LA first time seeing Melton. I was like holy tttt, that guy is huge. Then when I saw Charles, I was hooked. He was my favorite player of last year other than Vince Young.
^ Agree with ya on Charles, that kid has big time play making ability. What really impresses me about his running is his vision for finding holes. You remember that run against oklahoma where it looked he was stuffed at the line of scrimmage? He then pulls some spin move out of his ass, splits two defenders and he is GONE, 80yds. and a cloud of ing dust! I really think (if he stays healthy) Charles could be a special back at UT, he just knows how to run. I also like the returning group of WR's we have for this season, going into last season the WR spot was a real question mark, and then guys like L. Sweed, B. Pittman, Q. Cosby, B. Carter all stepped up and made big plays throughout the season. With the addition of Shipley this year (hope to God he's finally healthy) the WR's could be a special group. We're definitely going to rely on them with the youth we have at QB.
the WR core is superb, great and young. The only thing is we probably won't be able to fully utilize them until the last 2 or 3 games of next season.
Jamaal has the best moves of any rb we have. Ramonce is sheer speed. Selvin has the brains. And Melton has the muthle.
We better run some wishbone offense hahaha
Melton is a stud. He was only a true freshman, and with his freak-like abilities and size, he could be tough in the coming years. He can also break tackles on the goal line. Most goal line back fall in, and it may not be wise, but he's upright breaking tackles on the goal line.
Any concerns over the placeholder?
theres solid internets confirmations courtneys in the same boat

Just a reminder that the Spring Orange/White game is coming up on April 1st, week from next Saturday. Should be interesting to see the two new QB's go at it, also a number of other players trying to make impressions for playing time.
