Most likely to not RS

GOAT

Not sure which board to put this on, but I'm going with the recruiting board bc they haven't played a down. I'm curious to see who everyone thinks are the most likely to not RS this year. I'd go with-

1. Latu
2. Cam Williams
3. Calvert
4. Heimuli
5. Puka
6. Asa Turner

I put Calvert over Heimuli because he was enrolled for Spring and I love McDuffie but I don't think you burn his redshirt just to have him return kicks. Looking back over the last three years we've only had three true freshmen be impact players, Rapp, Black Beast, and Salvon. Other true freshmen played but were in back up roles or played out of necessity.

Baker was good.

He said last three years. Go past that you get Gaskin and Adams too among others.

Aside from kicker I would go

Cam Will
Calvert
Asa
Heimuli
Puka
Cam Davis
Bandes

Mostly just positional need at Safety and LB

Tuitele obviously could but I give Bandes the edge because he early enrolled. I think Latu redshirts.

Wildcard IMO is Fautanu, I forget his injury status but if he's healthy and over 300 lbs by summer I think he could push for a guard spot.

But knowing us we will redshirt literally everyone except Cam Will and Tim Horn.

FireCohen

Latu most likely going to RS, he has the physical tools but none of the skills

Tequilla

Cam Williams and Puka for sure play

Turner will be interesting to see where he fits in

At least 1 of Calvert and Heimuli play ... both are going to be crazy special

GOAT

I’ve seen Fautanu on campus and he’s still using one of those scooter things I doubt he’ll be healthy by Fall. I’ve also seen Wattenberg and he looks like that one chubby friend everyone has. I want Bainivalu or Ale to beat him out badly.

Good point on Fautanu, Neighbor. I really think he might be the best player in this class when it's all said and done.

But I'd love it if we could keep it to just Calvert and AlopeciaDawg. Heimuli will be really hard to keep off the field though.

I think Fautanu and Nacua are the two best offensive recruits. Defense is hard, but Cam Williams is going to play and it won’t be surprising if he starts. The two ILB’s will play. Latu maybe.

A DT will probably play, but they might use the 4 game rule and use a couple to fill in gaps when needed. That is probably the best move because none of them will be actually good right away.

How many in here are that chubby friend that everyone has?

If we play any of the freshman OL I am killing something.

I didn't give you permission to use that video of me. Shit's embarrassing.

Should have made it a poll. @Gladstone weeps.

Calvert because he has a spring behind him and thinness at ILB.

Heimuli because he's probably a 3 and done, 4 years max.

McDuffie is a 4 and done so no sense redshirting him even if all he does is return kicks.

Bandes because a a fresh nose is going to play, and he's more likely than 17 year old Paama.

Cam William's obviously.

That's it. Nacau and Turner are possibles, but I see them getting their 4 games and redshirts. Tuitele as well.
