How many scholarship players do we have compared to last year?

James Pearce, Bru McCoy instant impact guys…

 

[LittleVol]

Dylan Sampson and Joshua Josephs will both play a lot this year imo.

Sampson at KR and 3rd down rb
Joseph in 3rd and long.

One thing that stands out to me is the height of this class.

It seems like we've been under-sized compared to our more successful rivals. If a smaller-framed guy can't contribute at CB, for instance, he's going to be limited as to what other positions he might be able to move to. These guys look like the template for a roster that can give the coaches more flexibility. As usual, they're going to change a lot with nutrition and conditioning. But as a group they look a lot more ready to play from the start.

Time will tell, I know. The anticipation of what a new class might bring is always exciting.

There are A LOT of future stars on this class.

Can't wait for them to emerge.

Again, this class is LOADED.

We're truly building for the future.

PS. Notice I avoided that damned 'building brick by brick " phrase.

Could we now claim we’re building stud by stud? Has a better ring to it.

Rooting for Christian Harrison. Position of need. And if that guy plays ball with the passion of his dad he’ll be a fun kid to watch.
