Bro..this is legitimately the new staffs first recruiting class..your position is from the standpoint they’ve been here 3 years already..I know it’s been a long season and that makes it feel like they have been but they haven’t.
as far as Redding and Richards..dont misconstrued what I said. Idk if he will be as productive as 82 was as a freshman. Never did I say he will break 82s records. BUT the measurables are the same if not better. Your premise was recruiting “Miami speed” on offense. my point is we have that in Pope and wiggins. Then you add a specimen like Redding. That fills that void. His production was down in HS because of the offense he played in. On the camp circuit the raw ability from all accounts shined..he is nothing like evidence Njoku bro.. HR hitters: you add Knighton and Don to go with Lingard...every player we landed at offensive skill spots look like Miami players should look coming in..there were no reaches or head scratchers
I never said they werent Miami caliber, maybe you should go back and read what i was responding, however, point is, the receivers brought in were not blazers in highschool the way coach richt recruited them. And since we got an OC that hasnt put a premium on speed receivers much, cause he runs a methodical, time consuming offense and defenses as of now do not have to fear the consistent big play threats. But do i like the receivers we brought in, redding looks legit, restrepo is a hardworker and good athlete and daz needs to get 100% healthy. As for dee wiggins and pope, if pope was smart he would've redshirted, but he let his selfishness get in the way, while he does have speed, his work ethic is not what it needs to be or should be in order to maximize his talent and at his size, he really needs to be putting in the work, these guys think working hard just means during practice, which means the real missing link to the program is clear, swasey is no longer in the fold so you dont hear about guys coming back to workout, when we had guys consistently coming back to work out, the young players could see 1st hand what it took, plus the players got motivated when they would see whst the guys were pulling up in the parking lot with as well, just another disconnect this program has.
While i do think coach feely is a good S&C coach, him alone cant create the hardworking culture we once had. On to dee wiggins, he's a game ready player, but enos already does not use him to his strengths, for some odd reason they keep trying to go to dee on 3rd downs to run slant routes, and he's about 1 for 7 on those, about the lone one being where he caught that one his freshman year and got kind of blasted by Nasirildeen. We got an oc that's taking to long to figure out how to use the guys to their strengths, but we'll see what happens!
