Our DB’s in the past all got way better their 2nd-3rd year in the program. All of these guys should be better.
I was pretty underwhelmed with a lot of Asa's play last year...
He looked pretty soft and slow at times. I want my 6'3" safeties coming down and lighting guys up.
Yes, he was a true freshman... No Im not saying he cant get better, dont twist.
Asa and Cam both weren’t very good.
Agreed on Cam, but Asa had some flashes. But lets not forget how bad Kevin King looked his first year. The real growth in our DBs happens between years 1 & 2 on the field.

King was awful for two years.
It wasn't until Pete, Pete and Jimmy arrived that he took off.

Budda Baker had a pretty rough freshman year too. Byron Murphy had the luxury of redshirting.
McDuffie being insanely good as a true frosh is the exception, not the expectation. That expectation should only be there for Adoree Jackson level recruits at DB
They were really high on Irvin and he was ahead of Gordon in their RS seasons. I'm really excited to see how he does.
Cam Williams seems like a good reserve or package safety to me. He does have a good head on his shoulders, but he's limited athletically. Asa I just failed to notice much but did see that he looked faster and more nimble than I expected. He'll be fine.
Kevin King mainly sucked for two years because he was playing safety. They took a feather light, 6'3" dude with long arms and 4.0 shuttle quickness and hardly gave him a look at cornerback. It was Lake or Pete's staff as a group that figured it out and he was an immediate force at corner/nickel in 2015.

They arrived in his second year. Check your calendar, expert.

LOL true enough.
It wasn't until they figured out to move him to CB then.

Point was that guys like Asa and Cam, while getting great coaching from Jimmy, have those actual and invaluable D1 game experience minutes under their belt to reflect upon and know what to work on and fix for the next year. If you see any spark of potential in these types of players, there's a better than even chance Jimmy and Co will up their game and get solid performances out of them.

I am very high on Cam and (especially) Asa going forward.

Yeah, between Kyler, Asa, Cam, and McDuffie, we had 4 freshmen getting a lot of time at db positions last year. I think our db play is going to take a huge jump next year. Our defense, as a whole, could easily be one of the best in the country with who we have returning.
Mcduffie looked legit as a true freshman, the times he looked bad was when he was abused for his size. He isn’t ever going to be a hard hitter or physical CB but he looked like a future lockdown cover guy.
Molden played really well last year, hope he gets to play that extra striker/nickel role and doesn’t have to split time between helping the shitty safeties and shitty LBers like Bryant did too much last year.

I expect the others will catch up next season, whenever that is.

Reaffirms that it's gotta be one of the strangest hires of all time...

In case your Saturday isnt going horribly yet
Tryon only had it figured out for ha Mcduffie looked legit as a true freshman, the times he looked bad was when he was abused for his size. He isn’t ever going to be a hard hitter or physical CB but he looked like a future lockdown cover guy.
