Been a very long time for sure. Someone will step up and take a job. These are good things.I'm just excited to see who shows up and takes a spot. First year in a long time that the Buffs go into a season (assuming full health) where not a single true freshman is being counted on to play major snaps in the 2-deep. We need Kinney to punt. Other than that, every frosh could redshirt. It's nice to know that if one of them wins a job it will be based on merit rather than need.
Considering next year's expected small class, I can see Balthazar playing to fill last year's RB void, and either Carr or Gordon redshirting for more class balance - a back in each class. I'd like to see Montez redshirt unless he somehow is clearly the stud in fall camp, which is unlikely.
The goal should be to redshirt guys that need redshirting. If they're better than what we have on the field, they play.Redshirting Carr or Gordon should be the goal.

Totally agree here,any doubters should watch his Hudle video again! Man that foot needs to set
with out any issues. 206 bones in the foot...
:nod:
He was definitely recruited to play right away, not as a long-term developmental upside guy.
On the surface, a starting LB corps of Watanabe, Gillam and Falo sounds pretty solid. Problem is that two of those guys have never played a down of college football, and the other one has injury issues. Not much behind those three, either.

need Laguda to stay at S so they can move Chidobe back to nickel.
I'm optimistic that Gillam can return to his old form - if:Linebacker reinforces why it's so important to recruit every position group every year to build depth. 2 starters return, but I think most fans were higher on them going into last year. Injuries to Gillam turned our best defensive player into a huge question mark.
