props to AA for quelling my fears and building my excitement for the offensive skilled positions last week. I asked him then, is he the one that they were most worried about? How many if any recruits might/won't make it? When he first popped on the radar I was pretty existed about him - him and Muema seem like they can make an impact as trues - hopefully both are ready to run down some kicks/punts as well I've heard that Muema had surgery on his knee so I'm hoping he can be healthy by camp. I dont know the extent of the injury or his surgery but I have heard from people close to Adam that it wasn't good. |

I say let the best players play, no matter what year they are. Marshall played as a True Frosh. You can't keep good talent off the field, especially when you need to win NOW. Oldie Out For sure. |

I don't know why but memories of Chuck Muncie come to mind when I watched the video. |

I would not be surprised to see him as a returner on ST. He could do PR and/or KR, which are in need of upgrades.
This team has to win. I don't think we have the luxury of RS players at this point who can help us do that.

This guys is seriously fast, deceptive speed is so tricky. I love how he just played stop, freeze the defender, then blaze past him. I hope he gets a shot at Punt Returner as that position will play to his strengths. I see this guy coming on strong in the future. DBs are going to struggle covering him. I love our depth at WR this year.

dude doesn't have to return kicks/punts to be effective and make an impact, if he's willing and able to be a gunner/chase down punts and kicks he could be helpful.
Our special teams have been abysmal for the last decade mostly because we lack depth and talent to throw out there. Hopefully we'll see a bunch of RS, sophs and true frosh making an impact paired with the big legs of our kicker and punter

I think he said or someone said it was an eye issue. At any rate Muema says he will be on campus on August 5th. |

I don't get the remarks about the guy's size. He is listed at 6-1. That's not big for a receiver, is it? My other comment is about redshirts. Coach Hoke is not real big on redshirting guys. Seems that his philosophy is, if you can contribute, you will play.

He looks like a stud and with his size I think he could come in and compete for a role in the offense. |

I met Ezell's father at the MGM sportsbook at last years conference tourney, he said Nebraska had no chance since they came in so late and really liked Hoke and the fact that SDSU was recruiting him from the beginning.
He added that Al Borges said he will get a opportunity to play right away, including some time in the wildcat.

He was great his first year. I hope Mr Ruffin here can duplicate it on the football field. |

Yes. Either he is bigger than 6'1" or others are much smaller players. |
