Stallion Question

[SoCal_Pony]

Since you seem to be following our commits much closer than others, who / how many of our incoming freshmen do you see making significant contributions to our much maligned defense next year?

How about Offense?

Thanks in advance

[Stallion]

probably about 12-13 true or real freshman could contribute on defense alone. Best quesses-these are about 24-25 true or real freshmen I feel sure have a chance to contribute early-still have 2-3 more scholarships and many of those would step on the field early too

D. Scott
M. Scott
Jordon Williams
Clemons (medical redshirt)
Ken McLaurin (added)
Noah Spears (added)
Jordan Ward
Bandejo
Michael Clark
Eric Sutton
Mikial Onu
Demerick Gary
(Blake Carlisle I think is still growing and is a rail-he may need to redshirt)
Myles Duke has the physical ability and athleticism but I'm not sure if he would play WR, Star or SS-may redshirt to learn new position

On Offense
Alex Honey
Proche
Bryce Wilds
Keaton Bates
Brandon Benson
Corey Rau (going to be a stud)
Jacob Todora (ready to play if necessary)
Kadarius Smith (added after watching more video)
Josh Shelmire
Harrison Barton (surprise pick and making a big jump but he dominates at his level-reportedly will play Center)
David Moore (with returning Senior QB-coaches decision-probably redshirt)


I'm not discounting others have a shot either but there is less video on them like Christian Davis, Ryan Beckner, and Braxton Webb to evaluate. Oh and never discount a kid like Collin Rock playing somewhere-just watch his highlite thread which tell you all you need to know about what a winner that kid is. I want him on my team

Help is definitely on its way

[SoCal_Pony]

Pretty remarkable when you think about it, if that many freshmen contribute.

I'm hoping they do, what do we gain by not letting them play?

Of the above listed - Are any of them bigs? Like 300 pound DT bigs.

Our D-line is small and the two big guys we have do not have the attitude to fight. Really need help in the middle.

I think Chris Biggurs will help next year at DE or DT.

[BUS]

One is good but we need 3 or 4 to have a rotation.

[ojaipony]

I've seen no "tape" on him but Patrick Jones is a big ole boy.

[Pony147]

I have heard that Proche "defies gravity" in practice. Source tells me he might be the most athletic WR on the roster

I would imagine D. Moore redshirts A) b/c of Davis being a senior & B) to get some distance b/w him and Hicks eligibility wise

Unless Moore is clearly the best of the bunch, I would agree it would be nice to RS him and use Colbert and Hicks as backups next year. We just need to start winning and putting more butts in seats to help future recruiting

Butts in the seat, fan support, stadium atmosphere has zero effect on impressionable kids trying to make their college football commitment decision.

[footballdad]

Haha, life is good monkey seagull......don't hate.

Now I know you're not a players parent

[footballdad]

Right, crazy isn't it? These kids don't care about the atmosphere of big time football, or loud and packed stadiums, or cool uniforms. They just care about the letters on the jersey, and the history of the program, particularly the 80's, and the size of the school endowment.
