Missing all this time will be detrimental to Huff.
He was a late add last year, didn't get enrolled until like 2 days before the UF game, which means he missed all of Spring camp, Summer workouts & Fall camp, plus was an academic redshirt. Now coming into this season he got a week of Spring ball & we'll have to see what happens with Summer workouts & Fall camp.
Now I do believe he is very talented with high upside, but he needs those reps.
As far as McCloud, I'm not really expecting too much, maybe moving to Mike LB & being a 5th year senior the lights will come on for him, but he's been underwhelming since his Freshman season, he was essentially schemed out of the Defense with Diaz moving to the 4-2-5 & using Finley as the Striker/3rd LB. He over pursues, takes bad angles & is a lunge tackler, not trying to bash him but the reality is he hasn't been that good for the last few years.
Hopefully he can improve because he's going to be relied upon heavily, especially with how young & inexperienced we are at LB. Also need TAC to be healthy & for Joyner to step us this year, we can't keep getting by with an overly injured LB corps every year, Ragu shouldn't be taking a single snap in meaningful game this year.
This Covid-19 shutdown fúcked a lot of things up, but if I'm Diaz & Baker I'd be trying like **** to go get Jabril Cox.
