Fall Camp
Some well known intel to kick it off. Speight will start fall camp as QB1. His spot to lose. RB order will be Evans, Higdon, Isaac. Honestly, Higdon is much closer to RB1 than expected. He may take it away altogether with a strong camp. 5 Fr. in the two deep. Two OL getting a huge opportunity and WR is pretty obvious. 4 plus WR sets are in the works.
Fully torqued
But are you full Torquemada'd? That's more painful, what with the racks and nut-stretchers and stuff...
The cb's have me a little worried going into to Florida with their WR's.
Going to have a new QB with fall camp to learn the playbook. If we are catching hem at a good time, the first game will be it. Remember how Rudock looked the first game.
I still have nightmares about that Utah game.
Who's going to throw to them though?
A lot of young but very talented players fighting over those spots. Mistakes will be made early on but so will big time plays.
Expecting Vert Hill to lock down one (from a little inside chatter).
fully expect Vert to start, Harbaugh even mentioned him in B1G media days this week.
other outside spot will be more of a competition, I'm expecting Washington/Long to lock down playing time. I think one of the freshmen will have the opportunity to play also, I'm really hoping Ambry Thomas gains some strength - he'd be a huge athletic upgrade to B. Watson from day 1.
Before he throws it everytime and you could have Brian out there playing DB.
Would pay to see. We should do something like this against Sparty, just because DISRESPEKT.
But has there been any update on the Calloway situation? I'd imagine there'd normally be a suspension if UF were playing a tomato can, at least for a half.
He is going to play all game.
confident in Hill, I think he has shown what he can do and he'll be a baller. Long worries me so much, no news on him, not on the field at all, no Italy trip.....blaaaaaaa not good
Don't worry so much about long. He's athletic, and will be playing in man to man which will help to minimize mental mistakes. If we were running a zone i would be terrified for both as it is very difficult for young guys to disguise coverages and keep track of the different zones they need to cover on different plays. Much easier for the two of them to just go out there and dual their assignments.
That number of freshmen in the current 2-deep (five) is probabluy going to at least double.
Yeah I figure at least 3 DL, 2 OL, 3 if not all 4 WRs, and 1 possibly 2 LBs
Nordin and potentially Robbins too. They'll probably have the K and P spots locked down for 4 years.
Given the earlier hype, I wonder if Mason doesn't end up beating out Poggi for the #2 FB too
I'm guessing he's referring to just the offense.
Good point. Can think of DPJ, Black, Ruiz, and maybe a tackle in the 2 deep on offense right now. Who am I missing
Probably a redshirt frosh, like McKeon at a tight end spot ? Or an interior linemen.
I think Martin could be one. May be hard to hold him off in the slot. He is also a sure handed punt return option.
There are too many good receiving options to not go 4 WR.
whole lot of potential, but not a lot of career PRs amongst the group
My own personal opinion is that that isn't going to matter. I think there will be so many receiving options between TE, WR, H-back/Fullback that one guy will not have to carry the load.
but they'll be fielding 20 punts a game so they'll get experinced FAST.
Also. MOAR PLEASE!
Who are the two Freshman OL? Ruiz and Stueber, right? Or is another name popping up?
I've always been higher on Higdon than his playing time. Is he closer to making it a thunder/lightening RB1/RB1a type deal? Or are you saying he is closer to passing Evans and getting DeVeon-Smith-type usage?
What about defense?! Aren't there going to be roughly 11 more True Freshman on the 2 deep on that side alone!?
Bringing up DeVeon Smith is a good point. Higdon is much stronger than Evans. Smith was the guy because his pass protection picked up so many deficiencies that the OLine had. If Higdon can block well on top of his athleticism watch out.
Ruiz and Filiaga from what I understand.
Then DPJ, Black and Martin.
That said, I think that number is almost doubled by the time UF rolls around. Especially if you count Nordin.
But JKP, Solomon, Vilijan, Ross or Anthony, maybe a CB...we'll have a number of guys in the mix.
Please keep the info coming, it's always exciting when I see umbig11 thread.
That's five freshmen in the offensive 2-deep, right? Something like Ruiz, Steuber, dpj, Black and Collins/Martin?
5 freshmen in the two deep doesn't sound awfully frightening to me. I'm more unnerved by the fact that most of the other guys in the two deep are sophomores.
Meh. First to second year bounce can be positive. I'M not worried about the kids until they start playing in Madison and State College.
It'd be more if including redshirt frosh as well (Vastardis/Spanellis, McKeon, Peters??)
and giving us a few tidbits. Think it will be an interesting camp with some good position battles Speight as the incumbent should be his job to lose, but would not be shocked if he is supplanted. Let's hope any Freshman in the two deep are ready to contribute.
do you mean "bye" or "buy", just asking for a friend.
"Buy", not so much.
Ahhh MORE please! Is it possible to get weekly fall camp updates UM Big 11?
Ahhh MORE please! Is it possible to get weekly daily fall camp updates UM Big 11?
I have an agreement with Rivals. So, this weekend is more than likely it until the end of the season.
Here's a question that hopefully doesn't fall under your agreement with Rivals:
Any transfers in the pipeline?
Surely it's time for an alias, like umehbigeheleveneh. I could get you an avatar with the helmet pointing the other direction. Surely you could still contribute and nobody at Rivals would know...I wouldn't tell...our little secret.
Feel free to give me that weekly camp info umbig 11 and ill post it on the board, win win!
Stop bye all the time with info, we won't tell anyone......
I went from happy to sad reaaaal quick
The only thing I don't like about football season is umbig11 going into submarine mode.
Don't worry, Yost will take over for him.
copy & paste everything from Rivals ...
umbig11, why do you post af rivals ? I understood you to be a wealthy person, so the little bit of money rivals pays can't be worth it. Can it ? I'm just confused why. If this is too personal just ignore, obviously !
