I'm sort of being snarky. I agree that WR is probably the deepest position on the roster.
Man, I hate to pile on, but KD was eventually starting two true freshman wide receiver last year in Penry and Robinson, right?
But who was Carpenter behind last year? Stanley? Chase Penry and Ty Robinson both saw a decent amount of snaps last year as true freshman. I actually think KD is the first CU HC in a while who has actually shown the willingness to play younger players, including true freshman. Reed, Moore, Woods, Tyrin Taylor, Penry, and Robinson are a few from last season, and it sounds like Tyson, Wiggins, Oliver, Kerry, Offerdahl (walk on), Hestera (walk on), and Dixson all could see time this year (acknowledging that some could be out of necessity due to lack of depth).
I don't think Robinson ever started a game, but he saw significant time. instead of spotty, I should say "hit or miss."
The things I've heard on Tyson are that he's smooth and has fantastic hands, but that he needs to physically mature. He's probably a year away and the upside is super high.
Jack Hestera’s (walk on) name also seems to be coming up a lot from players and coaches when talking about who is making plays.
I think we've got an average P5 WR room with upside.
Dude was a baller here in HS. Dipped to Texas to keep playing during Covid. He knew he was better than the offers he was getting. We're lucky we landed him. He's better than Penry and Robinson TBH.
Whoa, just watched some tape, he's got some hands on him. Looks a bit like Spruce.
Looking up his stats from his one TX HS season and he balled out there, too. Seemingly one of the top players on the 5A state championship runner up. Both his dad and uncle were CU players back in the glory days, his uncle seemingly pretty good. I'm wondering if they'll have to put him on scholarship sooner rather than later.
I'm more talking about the coaches willingness to put young guys in the position to make plays, not necessarily whether the plays they made were against middling competition. If you're making plays in college as a true freshman, you can play, I don't really care who they are going up against on the other side (assuming it's still a D1 player)
Both Brian and Adam have mentioned that Tyson is extremely skilled but still very slight and will need a year for growth. I don't remember anyone saying he was going to start right away.
Agreed, but if they actually prove to be solid players, they'll need to be given scholarships, otherwise, it's not going to take mid 5 figure NIL money for other P5 programs to grab them.
Actually gone or still dealing with the issue with the campus?
No longer listed as a player on cubuffs.com
Plus he kind of looked like ****.
From the video, it sounds like KD was actually the one that dismissed him as it was last week. Just in case you were thinking that Sanford is being ruthless when he didn't dismiss Logan.
I did see that they said "last week" in the article after the OP. That does make the think more that he actually ****ed up if Dorrell let him go. I'd be shocked if Dorrell actually came to Jesus in the days before he was fired and learned legit roster management.
Assuming it’s going to take another year for transfer issues to clear up, taking around 6-8 grad transfers, or even more is a necessity.
There are probably 15-20 guys on the roster I would consider bad attrition. The rest is good or indifferent, IMO
Also, Amaya is an example of why recruiting outside the footprint is probably not a great idea for CU - particularly in these new transfer portal realities. A player from Alabama is more likely to get homesick and frustrated, especially if he's not seeing the field as an underclassman.
