Any thoughts or observations on our freshman receivers from folks that may have seen practice or scrimmages. Just wondering how Cameron Sims and Derek Kief are doing. Will they redshirt or will one or both of them get some playing time?
I would doubt any of them would receive significant playing time barring a slew of injuries. I mean Chris Black hasn't even really seen the field in a couple years and he was a highly regarded incoming freshman.

We have more quality wide receiver depth now than we ever have. When Julio and Amari came here we really had no #1 receiver. We have several this year not including any of the freshman.The reason I ask is that it seems we always seem to bring a freshman into the rotation every year. Julio, Amari, etc..
Don't forget about Falkins.Seems like next year we will see a big turnover in the wide receiver position. I assume that Cooper will be leaving and we will also lose Christian Jones and DeAndrew White. Foster, Black, Stewart, Sims, Kief and others will be back...Wow!
Plus those are a) just two examples in the past 7 years and b) they're 1st round NFL talent.We have more quality wide receiver depth now than we ever have. When Julio and Amari came here we really had no #1 receiver. We have several this year not including any of the freshman.
Black was in line for playing time his true freshman year until he got hurt, causing him to miss the season. Rumors were he was ahead of Coop, but who knows if that's really the case or not...I would doubt any of them would receive significant playing time barring a slew of injuries.

Yea but he hasn't played at all since then and has been healthy. I'm just saying we are loaded at WR, especially our top 4 or 5. Jones and White are seniors and Amare is a 3 and done player.Black was in line for playing time his true freshman year until he got hurt, causing him to miss the season. Rumors were he was ahead of Coop, but who knows if that's really the case or not...
I think he'll be a major contributor. He was indeed a higher rated prospect than Amari coming out of high school but I think they were ranked like two and three, or three and four. It was close.Black was in line for playing time his true freshman year until he got hurt, causing him to miss the season.
