Hope English and staff have a good recruiting year, talent is needed

lOOKS LIKE HE RECRUITED SOME TALENT THIS YEAR AS MORE AND MORE OF THE PLAYERS HE BROUGHT IN ARE GETTING PT. I NOTICED THAT #1 (THOMAS FROM SO CAROLINA) GOT INTO A NUMBER OF PLAYS AS WR SATURDAY. BEFORE IT IS ALL SAID AND DO NE I WOULD IMAGINE THAT HE WON'T HAVE A LOT OF REDSHIRTS THIS YEAR.

NEEDS A LOT OF HELP ON DEFENSE AND SOME BURNERS AT WR.

Matt Boyd also participated against Temple and lost his redshirt eligibility.

i don't understand burning guys' redshirt years to get them in a couple of plays. Why put Thomas in if you're not even going to throw to him? he's going to end up winning the heisman in 3 years (probably), so why burn up a year needlessly?

p.s. the heisman comment was a joke. but, he is supposed to be very talented. either use him for real or redshirt him.

re burning redshirt year I don't either Aaron especially if you are playing for next year ie 2010.

boyd played in a game earlier this season, where he burned his redshirt...

Of the 25 freshmen on the team these 8 have played in at least one game this season:

Kinsman Thomas – WR
Alex Gillett – QB
Jaron Gillespe – DB
Kyle DeMaster – LB
Matt Boyd – LB
Andy Mulumba – LB
Andrew Sorgatz – OL (started all four games)
Devon Davis – DL

That leaves 17 who have yet to play this season:

Ben Axon – RB
Willie Hickman – DB
Devonte Payne – QB
Garret Gronowski – DB
Brandon Boyle – WR
Joe Fleming – RB
Sterling Vaughn – DB
Blake Browe – LB
Matt Price – DL
Khaled Mheisen – DL
Shawn Sinawe – DL
Scott MacLeod – OL
Nick Olds – WR
Terrance Gourdine – WR
Garrett Hoskins – TE
Orlando McCord – DL
Bronly Kashama – DL

Thanks TimBuck2. good info.

i don't know how some of you guys keep track of this stuff, but i'm very grateful for it.

Some of the mentioned frosh appear to be walk ons and may not be with the team next year.

Agreed. Good list. A few of the kids that have not played are walk-ons (at least for now. I'm rooting for one of them to work his way up to a scholarship)

Interesting the many of the freshmen that have played are defensive players. RE is trying to fill the depth void the JG left behind.

Of the announced recruiting class back in February there are only 7 frosh who have not played.

Correct, only 7 have not played. 3 of the 4 JUCOS recruited showed up and all have played but none have really contributed to date.
