Title: WR White emerging as Tide favorite Post by: pmull on August 13, 2011, 07:29:47 AM Hanks and Maze. Maze and Hanks.
The names of the top two returning receivers at Alabama have almost molded into one when the discussing the future of the position. That outlook includes more than just Darius Hanks and Marquis Maze. First heard in low whispers, the name DeAndrew White is now emerging as the young gun in the group. Coach Nick Saban said that’s no coincidence. “It’s a real good indicator when his name keeps coming up that he’s progressing good, very well,” Saban said. “He’s done a good job out there, he’s working hard. He’s got really good speed and he’s explosive.” http://www.annistonstar.com/view/full_story_alabama/15074839/article-WR-White-emerging-as-Tide-favorite?instance=lead_story_left_column Title: Re: WR White emerging as Tide favorite Post by: 2Stater on August 13, 2011, 07:35:47 AM Quote “He’s one of the most difficult guys that we have to cover,” Saban said. “He’s done a pretty good job of being consistent catching the football. It’ll be interesting to see how he responds in the scrimmage on Saturday.” Has anyone noticed how CNS is singing more praise about players this year than last year? I take that as a good sign. :dance: Title: Re: WR White emerging as Tide favorite Post by: Chechem on August 13, 2011, 07:49:03 AM Quote “He’s one of the most difficult guys that we have to cover,” Saban said. “He’s done a pretty good job of being consistent catching the football.

I take that as a good sign. :dance: I think much of that is simply that last year the D weaknesses, and DBs in particular, were his primary concern. This year he has much to keep him busy, but not so much of a worry.

He's not talking so much about areas that need improvement this year as he is complimenting the players for their talent and efforts.

I wonder if White will start in the place of Hanks? What I mean is in the openers where Hanks can't play, if he does that would bold well for him. RTR!
