OLDIUFAN Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 18 hours ago, BobSaccamanno said: We have a chance to be a lot better…. QB. Some good young prospects headlined by TJ. Hopefully we add a vet. Receiver. This group has improved drastically compared to where it was the last year or two. Deep and talented with a ton of promise. Good position coach with NFL background can hopefully really develop these guys. Carter from Fordham is highly productive. Cam Camper was a revelation until he got hurt. McCulley has great potential with his size and he’s a beast with the ball in his hands. Cooper is coming along. I don’t know if they will run Lucas in the slot but you have got to get the ball into his hands. Running back. I always liked Josh Henderson. Good size and agility. The Wake transfer should be solid. Lucas is a weapon. I will be curious to see how they use him. Hopefully we get a big recruit at this spot in 2024. Trent Howland brings power and David Holloman can fly but those two haven’t produced yet. O line. Playing as a unit is huge. That’s where the new coach will really help (along with player development). The UMass transfer has a good reputation and a lot of experience plus Bell vouches for him as his former coach. Sales and Bedford can be solid tackles if healthy. Benson is an emerging talent at guard. Young guys like Carter Smith, Bray Lynch and DJ Moore are up and coming. I will be shocked if this group doesn’t improve drastically. TE. Bomba can block. We have a couple of well regarded Freshmen but I wonder if they are ready. Maybe we add a transfer here to balance the classes? I don’t know how much this position will be emphasized in the pass game at this point. D line. Wow, we made some great additions. Burris from ATM and Blidi from Texas Tech at defensive tackle give us two talented additions. I’ve always been intrigued by Cooper Jones who is getting bigger and is a good athlete. Our ends and bulls look a lot better with the talent we’ve added. Carter at end from Western Michigan was a coup to get. LB. I believe Aaron Casey comes back. Farrar from Stanford was productive. The LB from Austin Peay looks interesting, small but active. Kaiden Turner is well regarded. Secondary. Lack of experience back here is scary but they have talent. We have Toomer and the kid from Texas transferring in. Dunnam, Sharpe, and baby Mullen look very promising. Bonds at safety has always been impressive to me. The transfer from Texas Tech may be decent. We have a really good freshman coming in at safety. Our coaches are solid and they’ve got their work cut out for them getting these guys sound and ready. Specials. We lost Campbell but we added a really well regarded recruit at kicker. Our punter is excellent. Lucas as a return man speaks for himself. Thanks for this post. I was just wondering how we were doing with all the added players. Hoping to pick up another QB and running back or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he was 3 star that was on scholarship at Fresno for a year and then left as DeBoer arrived. So not sure there is any connection there so he took off. Seems like a pretty good option as a walk-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason he wasn't starting until he did last year and he completed a whopping two passes vs. MSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
