2013 Offensive Starters Predictions

**MaccloNe** · 01-04-2013, 11:53 AM

IIRCC, Bo Williams got the same level of hype as AW.

QB: Sam Richardson definitely in the leader's seat. Will be pushed by Barnett & Rohach in that order.

I agree with another poster on the OL:
C= Farniok, G= Tuftee, G= D Williams, T= Lichtenberg, T= Gannon
Wildcards on the OL: @ G= Omoile, maybe Burton? Think Dagel & Lalk are 1 year away so depth @ T is big ?

RBs: White, S Johnson, Woody, Nealy & Standard
Wildcard: Wimberly. Does he come in for immediate impact? Do we redshirt? I think we need better OL play, better designed & executed runs, & more commitment to the run.

WR: Gary, J West, Bundrage, then ?
Wildcards: Ecby, Daley, Harris, Q West. Regardless, need to produce better (catching damn ball, blocking damn defenders, just better play overall)

TE: Brun, Richardson, & Bibbs. Seeings as we have 2 returning 1 was productive as a pass-catcher (but lacked in blocking - Brun), I see no reason why Bibbs will not have a shot to play right away in some capacity. 2 TEs out there would be great, IMO (whether lined up as true TE, out-wise, or in backfield as FB).

Here is what I want from all WRs: fight for position and the ball. We have too many guys who are immediately looking for the interference call every time they get touched. They are making the flag-throwing motion before the plays are even over, but aren't making enough hard efforts to get into position and make the catch.

Other guys just let the ball go past them and go back to the huddle like it is practice where they can line up and get another one thrown to them. I would like to see more guys going for the ball like it is the last one that will ever be thrown to them.

For those of you picking Rohach as the starter, what is that based on?

**onenation** · 01-04-2013, 02:07 PM

Do you think jake campos will redshirt or is PR going to redshirt this entire class too

Contrary to popular belief on this board, you do not recruit a JUCO to sit the bench. You recruit them to immediately impact the team. Tyler Brown will RS next year. Based on what I saw this year from our RBs, if Wimberly is not 1 or 2 at the beginning of the season and starting by mid way through, we will have another pedestrian running game on our hands.

I am not saying he is better, but his film is good, and if he isn't, that is not a sign of impending success for our running game.

Him being the best Qb on the roster. Even a lot of the players parents believe he will be the starter, and I would assume they get that info from their children that are on the team. Granted, that was before Sam Richardson started playing...

Bottom line is James White is the top RB. Woodie is the GL back. First and foremost we need to find a way to get White more carries and to move the sticks more. The other RB's will get carries too, but we need to figure out how to get our best RB more carries first before we worry about his backups.

Wimberly redshirting will depend on SJ's health, and Nealys development.

I may be wrong but I thought Rhoads said Wimberly would contribute immediately. This would imply that he will not redshirt.

I think he RS. An extra year of weights and development will work wonders for him.

He did. Rhoads recruited Wimberly to compete immediately. That should tell most on here what he think of the ceiling of the current RB stable. Like I said, I think we need Wimberly to start or we will be reliant on the passing game, and we all know how well that works.

Campos will Redshirt & no, the entire class will not. Bibbs & Wimberly will play, & Meeks may be able to see some PT. He enrolled for this coming semester (I believe). May follow the lines of Knott/Klein - play special teams.
Although, now that I think about Meeks, he did have a lower leg injury (broken, if I am not mistaken), so who knows if enrolling early will help him get ahead of the curve. Still confident Wimberly & Bibbs would get opportunity to play immediately.

Our running game wasn't bad, it wasn't used. We constantly went away from what was working.

I agree. I truly believe Rhoads is hoping that Wimberly can come in here next year and either start or split carries with James White.

I'm not sold at all on Shontrelle Johnson. He's had a few decent games, but James White is the better all-around back by far IMO. James White gets you everything that is available on the play for the most part. Shontrelle does not IMO.

Everyone always claims that we have this awesome stable of RBs, but I'm not so sure Rhoads agrees with that. Yes, we have some depth there, but we don't have a standout RB at all. In other words, I'm not sure any of our RBs would start at any other Big 12 schools?

I think they should redshirt him, then the next year, he will be the starter.

He will if he is the best we have, which is very very possible.
