Donta Simpson makes pre season freshman AA team

[Calinative]

If we have a FR AA it'll be Wiley JR or Toney. Outside shot at Hayden Lowe, Josh Moore, or even Bryce Fitzgerald if he's contributing as S3 and Returning Punts or something... Donta Simpson is probably option 5/6 with Fitzgerald (both honestly due to the depth at S/DT so they are likely to see PT).

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

There’s like one guy saying he could be DT4 and another calling him a potential contributor. That’s a theme?

CIS much? That’s literally all it takes.

 

[Gables Canes]

Must mean he's passed Artavious Jones on the depth chart.

 

[Hstokes1447]

If this comes true Miami is going to have a top 10 defense and be in the playoffs, and in Blount and that gives Miami a very reliable 5 DT rotation.

Now just develop Russell and Jones for the playoff run.

Honestly surprised cam McCormick didn't make the list

He is on the Senior citizen team

This is where I'm at. Cool achievement but is this kid gonna get any reps this year?

I hope only in blowouts. If he’s getting snaps in the first half to three quarters of any games outside of games 2 and 3, it’s because multiple people are injured.

I want a WR Freshman AA. The rest I hope get blowout snaps in first half of season then start being meaningfully worked into the two deep in late ACC play. Fitzgerald may have to play. Too much talent ahead of Wiley and Lowe but we know they’re the future.

Simpson is going to be a good player but Toney is the name missing from that list.

Putting a receiver on the list who will depend on Castellanos to get them the ball is a choice

Who has the 2024 list for context?

[Odysseus]

They are really high on the guy

 

[NicKane]

I mean…Is he gonna play more than 8-10 snaps a game? Seems like a reach to me but who knows.

Not important at this time and glad early reports are good on the kid regardless of this.

He’s not a reach at all, he will be defensive tackle number four for us this year.

So true

 

[NicKane]

This is where I'm at. Cool achievement but is this kid gonna get any reps this year?

Well, he’s more than likely going to be defensive tackle number four for us this year, so I would say he’s going to get some reps in games.

 

[cway313]

That is an impressive hit rate. We might be cooking with fish grease.

He did.

In 1925.

 

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

This is typical of CIS.

Hype up a recruit, who if you go by the history of highly touted freshmens DTs, have very limited playing snaps their frosh year, and then spend the rest of the season talking **** about how they didn’t perform their freshman year.

Slow your ******* roll and let him develop.

Sure, we all hope he is in the extreme minority of freshmens DT’s who have immediate significant impact, but that’s usually not the case even with the best.

Not sure how this is "typical CiS."
ON3 made the list, not CiS.

Most of the takes have actually been pretty reasonable.....especially by CiS standards.

 

[Glow]

Yea Toney seems like the most likely guy based on the chatter.

I'm hoping for Joshua Moore and/or Brock Schott to pop off at some point, legit physical freaks.

 

[EudocimusAlbus]

For context context, how many did we have during the Manny era? lol
