Our coaches need to learn this won't get good players in key positions to come play for you. "You have to earn it" strategy isn't the best for guys like Cam.
The sad thing is Newton really wouldn't have to earn it at KSU and would have to at OU, UNC, and Auburn, but those programs are going to be telling him he'll walk right in and start from day one.
If I were our coaches, I would be pumping up Bishop as much as possible and mentioning Freeman as much as one can to let him know that, yes, he can succeed here and be a first round draft pick, which playing in the NFL is big goal of his.
