No Christian Wilkins? That's hard to believe. Breckner came in with a lot of hype during last year's NSD...and that's the last time I've even heard/seen his name until this. Sheesh!

His stats were better than Wilkins

he probably played a lot more snaps though. Remember, Wilkins didn't start for us.

I get the stats piece...but it's hard to overlook the impact he made. His tackles/play is up there for a DT...and as often as not, he was in at 'crunch time' in the big stage games. Oh, well...

He's been awesome no question

The fact that we have such a talented DL sort of overshadows that though. Some of the other guys have no supporting cast so it makes them look a lot better.

you are correct about getting on him late and then not taking him... i know we thought more of Mark Fields but can't remember if that is why we slow played Orr... but i understand recruiting the in-state talent, but i would have taken Orr over another DB we did take last year but he was already a long-time commitment by the time we got to Orr...

Not really
Dec 10, 2015, 4:36 PM
|
|
James had 1220 yards and 6 TD Ridley had 893 yards and 5 TD Sutton had 862 yards and 9 TD
Cain had 582 yards and 5 TD
Cain is awesome but with the amount of talent on our roster and the fact that he didn't really hit his stride until mid season he didn't really have a chance at one of the 3 rookie receiver spots. The 3 guys who got it were all the top receiver on their respective teams where Cain isn't even a starter most weeks.
Cain is probably a better player than all 3 of the winners, but you're not going to see many freshman All-Americans who aren't starters.
