Completely impossible to do now.

I think in 2017 you will see alot more from this class starting. I like Avonte Maddox, but I cant see him starting over these other guys in 2017. I can see him as a dime guy? I think Campbell could be nickel guy the way he hits.

Where do Hargrove, Weaver and George Hill, Patrick Jones, Garner and Wheeler fit in?

 

[Pitt1992]

Hendrix won't be here after this season if he blows up he will declare

 

[9nationalchampionships]

I have a feeling that Camp will start….just a hunch

 

[PittPharm98]

Quentin Wirginis... Don't forget about him. Makes plays.

 

[Cap pitt]

Pine would also make a pretty good duel threat QB at this level, strong and accurate arm and can run, check out his film on the lair home page, tap his photo and scroll

Wow. Maybe Biz could be our starting WR, what do you think? Pine will not be playing QB at this level.

You tell me - that's what the thread is for.

I strongly believe that Hill starts off on offense and stays there. He is an ESPN 300 player as a RB. He has blazing speed. We need players especially now that Boyd is gone...

Narduzzi has already put that out there. If his hands are solid, he could end up at WR.

I know he won't, but he can, he is that good

LOL, you have him going pro already?? Love it..

I agree, we dont' have much going as far as returning talent on the interior line. Very capable of starting..

 

[Pitt1992]

He has the ideal size for an NFL DE and was highly recruited,I'm not the only one predicting he will leave if he blows it up

well I mean, I hope it happens but come on now, he has 3 more years to play..

Yeah... I keep thinking the same thing. Especially now that it looks like so much talent is coming in on defense.

Think about it... Hamlin, Henry, Coleman even Garner – all talented DBs who could all potentially get playing time in their first year.

Also, I think Pugh and Pine both have a good chance to get a lot of playing time (possibly one could even start) this coming season.

As for Georg Hill – he has way too much to offer to allow him to redshirt... and he will surely be a big plus on whichever side of the ball he lands.

The potential for the D-line has me salivating already.

Read Chris' article from the Conklin break down of these incoming recruits. Garner is a likely redshirt candidate.

Most will redshirt. Of the ones you name I'd say Hill has the best chance to play. Duzz wants more speed and playmakers on the field. Hard to say, guys that you may not expect will emerge in the fall, while guys we all think will see immediate time will redshirt.
