Kalis seems like a good bet. AJ Williams or Devin Funchess could get some serious play time. Pipkins is probably going to see the field based on what we've seen from our DT's this year and with Martin leaving. I'd like to see a defensive back get on the field but I'm not sure who it would be.

Pipkins will start i think. Wormley will compete for playing time. Kalis has a good chance of getting PT.

I think Ross is going to push the middle linebackers for playing time if not to start. Whichever WR's we sign will have a good chance of getting PT. Dunn if we land him will play. Funchess could see the field. And God please oh please let Yuri Wright sign and start the very first game next year.

I think actually if Houma can block and hold on to the ball better than Hopkins he might pass him for the FB spot. Either that or he redshirts since we don't use a FB much in Denard's last year.

As for who I think can make it, I see the following definitely getting PT:
Pipkins
Kalis
Wormley

Recruits we could possibly land that I see getting PT:
Wright
Diggs
Garnett
Banner

Erik Magnuson
Ben Braden
Kaleb Ringer
Royce Jenkins-Stone
Terry Richardson
Anthony Standifer
Mario Ojemudia
Pharaoh Brown
AJ Williams

Those guys are almost guaranteed redshirts, and I would say that Wilson, Godin, and Strobel are most likely going to RS.

I wouldn't be so sure with the amount of freshman Hoke is playing this year he probably wants to get more of his guys on the field.

Sometimes it's both. Erik Magnuson, for example, wants to redshirt.

As for Maize&Blue's question, it's not out of the ordinary. Gregg Brown was on pace to redshirt this year if he stayed, but he transferred. Someone as talented as Wilson could easily see the field, but I was projecting a RS because of our safety depth. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays next year.

These Freshman will see a good amount of playing time (including Targets):
1) Pipkins
2) Wright
3) Kalis
4) Bars
5) Braden
6) Godin
7) Strobel
8) Diggs
9) Houme (sp?)
10) Ross
11) Dunn
12) Wilson

Will Redshirt:
1) Magnuson
2) Gant
3) Stacey
4) Richardson
5) Standifer
6) Ojemudia

Me too

He's like 160 pounds...

I'd say of all of our Oline commits Braden and Kalis are the 2 that are college ready right now. Bars may redshirt but he is technically solid and is at a good weight for depth concerns.

I'm a bit of a homer because I see these kids play almost every week, but I think Terry Richardson and Royce Jenkins-Stone have gret potential. RJS will start off the bat IMO and TRich will probably be in a nickel package. They got to sign their LOIs and make the team first.

I really wouldn't sell RJS short. It might take him a few games to crack the lineup, but I think he will see signifcant playing time next season. But that's just me.
