Although it would have been nice for Monroe to maximize his reps before Fall, the silver lining is that this gives Garret Taylor, Sutherland [and maybe Wade??] a chance to get more reps at safety in Monroe's absence.
Re: his size, I haven't seen anyone credible dispute the official listing of 5'9'' 185. That's obviously not the build people think of when they think "feature back" but we need to recognize this kid's mold is more Barry Sanders/Reggie Bush than your classic between the tackles grinder. No one...
This game was no sort of gauge of Shorter's ability. QBs bad, and DBs allowed to get away with practically anything. The thing to note is how well he fought off press coverage in the drills - this guy is strong and knows how to use his hands, in addition to his speed and route running. We...
I know Cleveland is an awful dump but if they did get a decent QB (let's say Josh Allen) and Saquon, then all of a sudden you have a good OL, Josh Gordon, Allen, and Barkley..... that's a pretty good starting point for an offense.
My favorite story was probably from when he was in high school - there was this track and field meet where a girl from another school was deprived of a medal in unfortunate circumstances. Our boy Saquon just gave him one of the medals he had earned at the meet, with no agenda or expectation...
While I would love for him to be a little bigger, Hamler was a heavily recruited guy with GREAT short area quickness and burst. Sounds to me like a perfect slot candidate. To be honest I've never really been impressed by Polk - seems like he has Hamler's size [or lack thereof] but not his...
I cannot imagine there is a better prospect in this '18 class than Shorter. Don't get me wrong, I am super hyped for the other WR recruits, and think they can be all Big 10 and head to the NFL, but Shorter screams Pro Bowl, Julio/AJ Green type talent to me.
Would he be a DT as well? That would make 4 in this class. I know he is listed at DT, but has the same measurables (more or less as Tyreke), so maybe we are looking at him as a Smith replacement option at DE?
Wildcat QB?! The possibilities are endless haha...
I know Shorter mentioned wayyy back how he was super excited to play with Dotson. On top of that we add George whose film looks terrific. Looking like an unbelievable set of offensive players who complement each other super well.
Man this is a lot of garbage from O$U... really looking like a-holes right now IMO. On the other hand, am I the only one who doesn't mind if Micah has a bit of an extra grudge against them?
He is an incredible plan B - legitimate offers from all over so I definitely like the add here. I did hope we would replace Young (what a pity) with another defensive back though.
Excited about McGovern with another offseason behind him. Bates will be a great contributor anywhere on the line (I do with we could have kept him at guard though). If Fries turns out as good as advertised then look out.
Even if Bowen is suspended for the bowl game, it could be a dog house case right? Wouldn't CJF have said outright if he was dismissed from the program?
