I'd say it's a given. Rhoads was talking about newcomers this Fall that would contribute when he mentioned these guys.
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.Is it a given that Jevohn Miller will play or will he possibly redshirt?
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.
