Taleni

I have been really impressed with his play - He and Soto move much better than most inside players we have had.

Taleni will be an important part of the team next season.

yeah taleni coming on is huge for next season. Having one experienced DT means we only need one of the young DT's to start and one to be a solid backup.

You would think going in that Taleni and Watts would be the starting DT's.

-He's a redshirt junior

Between Watts, Camp, and Taleni PITT should still create some push up the middle next year.

I have to guess he was injured before the season started or very early in the season and is finally healthy.

Thanks Gary for the Info, Coach Pat likes to keep his injury lists as quiet as possible, so other Teams are not able to use it against his Team. The Best Coaches do that! Any thought on Hendrix for next year too?

Hendrix got hurt on what his first or second play? It is hard to know what to expect from him. I hope he lives up to his high school pedigree. We need him to next season.

He wasn't hurt . Read his interviews where he states he was homesick, had problems adjusting to Pittsburgh, and didn't catch on fast so he was beat out by other players. But we shouldn't worry about why he wasn't playing just be glad he is playing (at a high speed) now.
