I am not the expert here but I thought it was a cool throwback photo.

Yessir. He used to be a good bit heavier in the 1970s. That's Mark Brueggemann that Coach Hobbs was "tuning up" in the picture.

Is Harney eligible?

Great question.  I have heard zero on this.

I was told, as of last week, no, with no expectation of a ruling from the judge anytime soon. 

If Harney has shown enough to be starting at Safety in the summer, my guess is Noah Johnson is playing the nickel role that Oliver Bent played last year. With that, I feel really good about 9 of the starters on defense. The 8 guys that don’t have their hand down plus Ben Reeves at interior DL. 

The other comment I had on defense is outside of Zion Mason, I think Braylon Miller is the best player we’ve had at corner in a decade plus. Loose, athletic and real good ball skills.
