Blackmon imo = this year's Huff and some.

His athleticism will put him on nearly every special team.ljginger wrote:I can only see Colt seeing the field on defense next year unless they use him in the DJ Davis or Jeff Maehl screen plays or for blocking...

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
What I mean by stacked is that we have five really good LBs, all of whom I'd feel comfortable with as starters. All five of them are very talented and have been widely lauded by coaches. I really doubt Colt would beat any of them out. And if he's sixth in the rotation he wouldn't see the field much at all.Boom wrote:??Tray Dub wrote:I can't see him playing much on D either... We're pretty stacked at LB as far as the two-deep goes. Maybe special teams, but I wouldn't mind giving him a redshirt at all.
I bet Vaughn makes the biggest impact initially.
We're only returning 5 LBs with game experience and one of them (Kiko Alonso) didn't play this season due to injury and suspension.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
^^agreed Colt for sure and Rahsaan Vaughn is my other guess. Plus I think Curtis White is going to make an impact at TE, he seems like the forgotten man when discussing our team.
This class would appear to have a lot of RSs and I can't wait to see them develop...

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
The big thing with White is going to be if he can stay healthy. When healthy, he's a monster at the TE position. But he's been injury prone throughout HS so that's a little worrisome for the position's future.briarduck wrote:^^agreed Colt for sure and Rahsaan Vaughn is my other guess.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
Vaughn is my guess. Not sure which True Freshman, I would say Kelley if he were heavier, Colt is physically ready but at what position? Would be a waste to burn his redshirt year as 3rd or 4th TE.
Wonder which Redshirt will make the biggest splash this year? That should probably be another thread in "Kelley's Heroes" forum.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
No doubt about the injuries (lets hope he's done with those) but I am just surprised about very little mention of him at TE/DE...I hope he using that as motivation to come ready to make an impact.greenyellow wrote:The big thing with White is going to be if he can stay healthy.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
Not sure I get how we are stacked at 2 deep LB's when we only have 5 returning, meaning we don't even have 2 deep (2x3=6). If Colt and Wallace both play LB, they will both see a fair amount of time.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
I tried to find our thread like this for last years class, just for fun, but finally gave up. I think Huff wins hands down, but it would be fun to see the predictions.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
Huff definitely wins, but I am very excited to see what our Redshirts do this season. We had a lot of very skilled players redshirting, I also think Heimuli will take a big jump.RanDux wrote:I tried to find our thread like this for last years class, just for fun, but finally gave up.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
Vaughn will play extensively at WR this year, as will either (or both) Blackmon and Sumler. Both have the speed required to force playing time.
On defense I think we'll see a lot of whatever DT's we have, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Wallace and Lyerla if he plays LB to get some PT as well.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
I'm having a harder and harder time seeing playing time for Lyerla at LB with the depth we have. But I could see him taking the role that Dion Jordan had last year at DE.headshottzzzz wrote:Vaughn will play extensively at WR this year, as will either (or both) Blackmon and Sumler.

Re: Recruit who makes the biggest impact?
Yeah but not guys can flip flop at outside LB and even mike to an extent, so it's not like the #6 LB plays as much as the #4, even if they are both technically second on the depth chart at an LB position. I'm not saying Colt would never play, just that he probably wouldn't play that much unless he beat someone out.UofDuck wrote:Not sure I get how we are stacked at 2 deep LB's when we only have 5 returning, meaning we don't even have 2 deep (2x3=6).
