We are always young because we have to many juniors and seniors who don’t seem to work out.
there has been some pretty heavy attrition in the recruiting classes in 2015, 2016, and 2017

Quick thoughts...looks like we have four tackles that can play. Myers, TJ, Coleman and Coker. That makes me feel better.
I has hoping G Hayes would end up at tackle...and maybe the loser of the starting center battle might end up at guard. I could see White moving inside also at guard because that looks like a weak spot now.
Can't really afford any injuries at safety...only really have four that have played any although we have some younger guys that have potential.
Sure wish we could have redshirted Hunt and Stephens two years ago...both need that extra year to develop. I know I'm always trying to move people around but I wish we would RS Stephens this year, put 20 lbs on him and make him a DE. Dude is a beast but will probably be passed quickly by the freshman WRs...
Agree on Hunt and Stephens. That RS year would have been enormous. They are both way to raw.
I actually think Safety is one of the deeper groups on the team. Nook, VanZant, Vongor, Josh Foster to go with TWZ and Washington. I really think Vongor and Nook are going to be hard to keep off the field.
where does a 5* RB land on the depth chart?
I wonder if fellow Galena Park North Shore Cornerback Kee'yon Stewart had anything to do with landing his fellow North Shore teammate Zach Evans? Does Gary red shirt Zach Evans so there is a year between Barlow, and D. Foster and Zach? If they don't, are we a run first offense with Max now? Is the O Line good enough to be run first? Would Coach Meacham allow us to be a run first?

I would venture a guess that based on ability, Evans is probably #1 on the depth chart right now. It's not like there are a couple seasoned juniors or seniors ahead of him. Evans is a better runner than Barlow or Foster right now, he'll just have to prove he is reliable and that he isn't a knucklehead.
If he can do those things, day 1 starter IMO. That's what 5-star talent is, especially at a position like running back. He sure as hell isn't redshirting.
From your keyboard to God's ears...Of course in those sets its even tougher to rotate 137 WRs on and off the field but hopefully those days are gone moving forward!
I hope they find some sets to get two RBs on the field together. I would have liked to see more of Darius and Sewo on the field together. I think with Duggan at QB your 11, 20, and 21 personnel sets could suit you better than your 10 personnel. I don't think you have to be a ground and pound offense to use those sets either.

That was my 1st thought when we signed Evans is GP told Cumbie to start designing some two RB sets...because obviously Barlow and Evans will be two of our top 11 offensive players and they both need to be on the field a ton...at the same time.
QB: Max
RB: Barlow
RB: Evans
TE: Wells
WR: Taye
WR: Q Johnson
Start here and mix and match....could be scary after a few games...but I doubt we see a bunch of 4-wide sets this year. Probably more 2 TE sets with play action and run pounding.
Uhh can we have someone else work up the design on a two RB set? Guessing Cumbie's designed two RB set will include both guys standing to either side of the QB, everybody down ready to snap, wait five seconds, one of the RB's shifts to line up behind Duggan, wait five more seconds, snap the ball and hand off to the RB behind Duggan, going the direction of the side the other RB is on.
You missed the part where the RB sprints out to catch the fade...Uhh can we have someone else work up the design on a two RB set?

good call on the potential impact of stewart and i would love to see tcu sign more kids from gpns.
as far as playing right now if he is the best back on the squad the answer is play him right now. if he is the talent he appears from his high school tape he isn't staying five years.
as far as the offense if they can find any way to diminish the pressure on max do it. not knocking max, but he wasn't ready to carry the offense on his own last year (please no comments about reagor and the receivers as we all agree the receivers must get better as well) so if that can be achieved by running the ball 40+ times a game so be it.
finally, ALLOW? is this a serious question about what meacham will or won't allow offensively?
