Chauncey Washington, or the General, as some are calling him — as in the successor to the President (I guess there was a military coup). Whatever, C Dub is not taking anything for granted after sitting out the past two seasons, and is raring to go:

A member of the recruiting class of 2003, Washington said that although that group may have lost Bush and White, “The rest of us are ready to go out this year and show people they’re wrong about us — again.”

Michael Coleman is at 85%, but already impressing.

Desmond Reed pronounced himself 90% of the way back and almost ready to go.

And then the incoming stable of freshman that is Stafon Johnson, Emmanuel Moody and C.J. Gable all getting early reps and looking awesome.
