I'd say it's a given. Rhoads was talking about newcomers this Fall that would contribute when he mentioned these guys.

That makes sense. Rhoads wouldn't view him the same way as other freshman since he was there in the spring. Even if he's stuck behind Knott and Klein a couple of years, it will be nice to have a bruiser on special teams.

This is good news for the WR group. Nice to finally have a batch of new talent ushered into the mix even if they are young.

Hopefully that's about the end of the freshman playing from this calss. CPR has done a great job saving those red-shirts and building up the foundation.

I am disappointed Lampkin was not mentioned though. Seeing him on the news in Omaha a lot got me stoked to see what he could do.

Is it a given that Jevohn Miller will play or will he possibly redshirt?
Being backup to Knott, he will play this year, especially if we have a big first half with UNI. We are short in the LB department and he will inherit the playing time. We do not want to wear Knott out before the Big 12 season starts.

My guess is that Daniels is a load and we need one. Our receivers in the past have not always been physical except for Colin or Marquis.

I really hope we actually need these guys to play and they aren't just in there for a few plays each game. I would much rather have them play much of the game as 5th year seniors.
How many true freshman have we had play in recent years?

My hope for Daniels is that he can be Marquis Hamilton. IMO, Marquis was a pretty underrated guy. He wasn't flashy but man if he had to fight for the ball, he won. If Daniels could be that, Bundrage could be Sumrall but a little better and the itty bitty guys could be playmakers, we will be dangerous in 2-3 year. Like really dangerous. I fully believe that our young guys at skill positions including QB have never approached the level we are going to get to. That's not even counting Quan West.

I hope he is much better than Hamilton. Not saying Hamilton was bad, b/c he wasn't. But Daniels appears bigger and faster.
