Golloday has to sit out a year. No disrespect to Glasper, but if he was going to stand out, he has definitely had the opportunity considering Brown and Sebastiano missed quite a few games and they only played Brescacin on the outside during those scenarios.
That's why I lean towards Mitchell and Blake getting quite a few reps as they are outside players and seem to have been highly touted.

RE: Which True Freshman Will Play?
They were high on Mitchell last spring and has good size. I think he is going to see the field a lot. I think senior over Blake will play this year. my guess is they are going to give hallmon every shot to start. Have the coaches talked a lot about brooks playing a lot or is that just from the depth chart?

Depth chart and age more than anything.
At 5-11, 150...I think Senior is gonna need a year in the weight room.

I believe a freshman safety or two will play some this fall. We are thin there and Brandon Mayes may have to play corner.

Re: Logan. Agree with the general consensus that he was bad last year, but Carey called him the best player in spring ball, so it's pretty much a lock he'll be starting at CB. With Moore moving to S though, there's literally no expierence behind him.
Here are your other CBs on the roster:
25 Emmett Lynch CB 6-0 157 FR Chicago, IL/Rich Central
31 Anthony Brooks CB 5-11 189 RS SO Detroit, MI/Warren Mott
30 Tifonte Hunt CB 5-9 164 FR Harvey, IL/Thornton Township
39 Zeb McLaurin CB 5-11 179 RS FR Chicago, IL/St. Ignatius Prep
32 Jimmy Russell CB 5-10 194 RS FR DeKalb, IL/DeKalb
43 Albert Smalls CB 6-1 206 FR Miramar, FL/Monsignor Pace
28 Will Daniels DB 5-11 207 FR Green Bay, WI/Preble
5 Mayomi Olootu DB 6-2 173 FR Allen, Texas/Allen
21 Deion Hallmon DB 5-10 162 FR Weston, FL/Cypress Bay
It wouldn't be a surprise at all to have a couple true freshmen seeing huge playing time there this year. I think that's how they got some of the talent to come here that they did. I would be pretty damn shocked if Hallmon redshirts, and I think there's a fairly decent shot he's starting opposite Logan against the Hoes.
Logan
Hallmon
Brooks
Olootu
That position is really scary, especially if somebody gets hurt. I would imagine Moore will be playing that Demetrius Stone S/CB position and flipping between the two, though. It looks like they have Mayes working at both spots as well, which will help too. I would guess those are the 5-6 guys who see time there.
