McKee and zeise are complete unknowns to us fans and idowu is or should be a respectable backup, absolutely not a starting OLB on a P5 team, no if's ands or buts. Brightwell showed some promise in a game or two late last year so there is something there. So in short, yes your point is valid. Not much standing in the way for a talented incoming freshman to get an opportunity to play from day 1. starting is a bit much but if the kid is 1/2 as good as the reports say, he should be in two deep his first year here.
