I see that we have nine Tight Ends on the squad. Seven of which are freshmen.
:wtf:
Meh. Really not a big deal. Two of the freshman are redshirt freshman. The others are true freshman, two of them being walk-ons. At least one of the scholarship true freshmen will change positions. Sounds worse than it really it is.
I figured that a couple would be walk-ons, but still, seven scholarships devoted to tight ends? Does this offense even know that the tight end is an eligible receiver?
You would hope this is a sign that the TE will be used more in the offense. If they let athletes like Thornton, Evans, and Deehan go to waste, that's a shame.
Sorry but bottomless tight end depth just sounds wrong to me.
Solder was a TE.
Pericek was a TE.
I asked our DB coach about this at the recruiting luncheon and he said we took the best athletes available. The strength of the class was guys that are 6'3"-6'5", 225-240 pounds who can ran, jump, catch and hit you. He said you can't have too many of those guys. This bunch included the TE's, but also 2 RB's and a DE.
They are TE's today, but maybe Fullbacks, LB's, DE's and even DT's or Centers/OG's of the future. He also mentioned that two of them might end up as big WR's.
Sorry but bottomless tight end depth just sounds wrong to me.
Point of clarification - Pericek was NOT a TE. He was a LB that they briefly moved to TE, and then quickly to DT. He was an entirely average TE in high school, and his talents were always on the defensive side of the ball. Solder, at that size, should have never been a TE in high school.
are you connected with BHS?
It is a sign of a tough recruiting year where they took the best athletes we could. You do know this is DH's most athletic recruiting class?
If they truly are athletic this is a good strategy considering recruiting was so difficult.
I am completely missing your point. Did BCS steal your password?
