Really shocked that Jacob and Jerod Smith….
- Thread starter HYTCHYE ISLAND
- Start date
They are just freshmen.
I would stop going into the season expecting big contributions from incoming freshmen, especially on defense. This is a good problem.
I think they are everything they were cracked up to be, but our roster is much different than it was in the days when a Dennis Johnson could come in as a Frosh and play big minutes.
On defense, we now have more
Former 4 Star players than we can play at once, and the brothers are two of them. I thought Brian Robinson would play a lot this year, but Walker seldom leaves the field.
Terhyon Nichols, Cam Dooley, and Jason Patterson are really the only freshman who are getting run
Steven Soles Jr, Antwan Smith, Willie Rodriquez.
Great points! Appreciate everyone’s feedback and admittedly I expected too much from these young men. Here’s to hoping they continue to train and become the beasts we know they can be!!!
The Ole Miss kick returner met Rodriquez.
At the level we are playing (and being competitive) you aren't going to see a lot of kids physically developed enough to help much at the line of scrimmage... linemen, running backs, linebackers, tight ends, let's say. All born to redshirt.
… and at positions we expected. DL was our most talented and deepest position coming into the year. There will be positions and snaps up for grab next year on the DL.
There very few teenagers that are mature enough in their freshmen year to compete with grown men that's been lifting in a strength and conditioning program fot multi years.
