Major props to Samson Okunlola! Most in his place would have tucked tail and ran to the portal to chase the easy way to guaranteed playing time. Samson didn't do that. He knew that it didn't matter where he went. He knew that the real battle was with himself and if he could work hard enough to reach his potential that the rewards would come. I'm rooting so hard for this kid.

Also, more money helps.

Is it he’s progressed? Or is it he’s finally healthy and they are pushing him to start cause of his status and/or because the LGs aren’t that good and it’s a wash with all three so might as well start the 5 star and push the “development” narrative while they can?

Well he absolutely had an adjustment period when he first got here due to the talent increase in competition compared to what he was used to and him getting hurt certainly didn’t help him. Now he appears to be putting it all together

I don’t think that’s true.

The freshmen you heard about this time last year were Frederique, Lyle, Lofton and, to a lesser extent, Pruitt and McConathy. They all played. Bain and Mauigoa got the hype the year before.

OJ played due to Brown’s injury
Lyle was 3rd string until injuries
Lofton played some but didn’t have a big impact compared to “he is potentially our best RB and athlete”
Pruitt didn’t sniff the field likely due to tweener…I think he should have played more.
McConathy didn’t produce in the few games he played.

We need Toney like we needed X.
We need a big 50/50 WR like AR. (Moore)
We need a speed rusher. Pickett, Lowe, Lightfoot … don’t want to see Bryant or McConathy.
We need nickel to be a solid backup.

We need the coaches to hit on more kids than miss.

“To a lesser extent” McConathy? Are you kidding me? He was getting a **** ton of hype, more hype than OJ. McConathy was probably the most hyped recruit of last year. You forgot about ZP?
