Players with Potential for the New Coach

Yenga, playing in the correct position.

We need to drastically upgrade the overall talent when the new coach comes in. However, there are a handful of players who I think have shown promise and can be productive for the new coach. Many of them are young and really have no business playing yet, but thrown into the fire bc of lack of overall talent on this squad. Players I see with good potential:

Zelt Minor
Mason Gentry (I think he is going to be a really really good player)
Nick Horton
Horace Richardson
Evan Brown
Courtland Sutton
Shelby Walker

Zelt seems to have found his way back to the bench courtesy of Mason Gentry. If this staff won't even play Zelt wouldn't be surprised if he transfers. Kid supposedly has the talent so what's the problem?

Is he hurt? because nevermind starting, I didn't even see him in the rotation yesterday. Mason was the one with great things to say about him and said he would be a starter when he was DC.

he was told to start using the technique he was taught because he was screwing up the defense. He mouthed off to a coach and was demoted to 3rd team

Well, that will do it.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Well, that will do it.

The exact words I was going to say.

[JasonB]

By position:
CB: Jesse Montgomery, Horace, Ajee (at nickel is better than outside), Trey Washington, JR Richardson

S: Justice, Shakiel, Darrion

DL: Wood, Hollie, Minor, Gentry, Lawler, Nabushosi, Saena. But we have to switch to a four man front because right now we are undersized at end outside of Zelt and undersized at tackle outside of Hollie. For the most part, the frames seem to be there, and part of me wonders if it is a June thing to not have the kids gain too much weight because he is afraid of their long term health.

LB: Yenga if he moves outside. Tui, Horton might be interesting inside as the season goes on. Ngalo, Longoria, Mitchell, Rhone IF they either bulk up or we move to a 5 DB scheme with a hybrid LB/Safety. They are too small for a 4-3 or a 3-4 at this stage.

OL: They are all young. Not their fault they are not able to play as a FR or So. It's easier to list the ones I am not sure about. Barns I am not sure how much weight he can put on his frame, so he is either center or bust for me. Fister I don't think is going to be big enough. I haven't seen Richards or Pursley to judge their frame. Chamagua I am just not sure if he has the athleticism to make it. But his frame is huge, so I probably keep him around and give him a chance. See my comment about the DL.

QB: Everyone knows my thoughts here. I think there is talent on campus and I also think once we play against the smaller lines in conference the team is going to play better on offense and defense.

RB: Durall, Nlemchi, Gresham, Line - nothing wrong with any of them. Not game breakers, but behind a good line they would be good backs.

WR: Lancaster, Walker, Malone, Sutton, Joseph, Halverson, Gaines, Stewart. All are young and quick (exception of Gaines, but he has size). Haven't seen Ingram, so I don't know.

[ClickClack]

Jason B, you're listing basically every young position at each position.

When are you going to wake up and realize those DITR are the reason we are where we are today. Those are all the June recruits with no other legit offers and no interest from any school worth a damn, but yet you list all of them as potential impact players.

I could have listed all the young players at each position, but I was trying to pick out the few DITR that may be impact players.

[footballdad]

Zelt will transfer Juco. Has what it takes physically but not mentally.

[Rebel10]

I hope Zelt gets whatever is wrong be it injury or whatever turned around.

The two starting OGs might be OK in a couple years. They shouldn't be playing right now. No one on the defensive line has really impressed. Wood plays hard, but is really too small. I think they'd be OK for back ups. Yenga would be OK at OLB. Sanders doesn't move well laterally. He is a straight line runner. We don't have many players that have all the qualities of a good D1 player. Some are fast, but too small, some are big enough, but aren't fast or quick. Most of the players have at least one good quality, but seem to be lacking in other areas. A team can get by with some players like this, but when the majority of the team is this way, you end up with what we have.
