Top 5 SMU Recruits

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
This class looks so incredibly lackluster. Gotta be June's least impressive group (Except for the scramble of year 1) - right?

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
Well whAt would you do with Wimbley. You would think we could find a place to use him. He does from playing as a freshman cause he was too strong to keep off the field to riding the bench cause he got winded after a run. It's just weird.JasonB wrote:Or you could look at it and say that the coaches might feel we don't have a problem at ng

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
Minor is big enough and good enough to start at NG next year in a pinch. He's going to end up there sooner or later

June said that he moved Wimbley to RB because he was not doing well at NT and had a better chance to see the field at RB. A move back to NT might not be the best thing if he was not playing that well there.

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
good point, he might be a decent LB? -- I don't think he ever sees the field at RB. Seems like he was good size. Williams will hopefully be back and I sure hope we see more than 1 RB this year with some rotation. Seeker looked ok too.Stallion wrote:heck I'd go ahead and give Mason Niemchi since June doesn't want to use him
I really liked the balance we had with Line and Shawnbrey. Kept the defense off guard.

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
Did we use any 2-back formations or packages that year? I think GG running a zone read with Shead as a speed back and another power back like Little Line or Wimbley would be successfulGiddyUp wrote: I really liked the balance we had with Line and Shawnbrey. Kept the defense off guard.

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
Yes, June's severely lacking in judgement when it comes to running backs. Oh wait, didn't he take a lightly regarded, unrecruited white linebacker from Michigan and turn him into a multi-time all conference selection and probable NFL running back draftee?Stallion wrote:heck I'd go ahead and give Mason Niemchi since June doesn't want to use him

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
we weren't talking about as a starter Mr June Suckup-there have been other opportunities in each of last 2 years

Re: Top 5 SMU Recruits
Keep in mind also that Wimberly lost a ton of weight so he isn't exactly an ideal size to play NG right now.
I think the fact is that we are absolutely stacked at RB and LB. There isn't anywhere to move some of these guys.
