Zach & Brandon definately will. If Zach hadn't torn his ACL in fall practice last year he would've gotten some serious PT. And not just clean-up duty but 2nd or 3rd rotation. Brandon was coming along at the end of last season, but didn't get enough PT to really see him in action.
And as for the X-Man. Heard he was a stud. Prince also thinks that X is the biggest sleeper in this years class. We definately need some young horses upfront.
And just think, Hogans in the same class. :eek: :love: :love:
-
Xman looks like a sleeper. He looks ready if you ask me. 'And Yes on Kendall.
-
Oh yeah, looks like he has it. I was actually talking about that I heard he's tearing it up in the weight room. We definately got lucky that he was having some qualifying issues, alot of teams backed off.
But he made it!! :love:
And couldn't of said it better op, MOTOR!! :thumbsup:
And as for Crews. I'll give him another year in D-1 football & to get into shape until he's in the DT rotation.
-
why so high on Kendall? he was pushed around like a grocery cart in the spring game, and that was against OUR ol. :crybaby:
-
I'd wait until fall practice to judge Zach. He was really giving the O-Line troubles last fall in practice until he went down with the ACL tear. And as we all know, it takes quite a while to get back from the torn ACL. Spring practice was his first action since last summer.
Yea, I'll give him until fall practice next week.... :)

your optimism is meaningless. we're doomed. :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:
-
Balcom is great in short ydg. i hope crews gets a lot of time, he's huge. I think stewart might be a little small as a true freshman to get a whole lot of PT.

It's not just optimism, but common sense.... :rolleyes:
