These guys are much more likely to make a contribution than any true frosh. I can see Campenni getting into the rotation at DT. McQillen is a very talented and versatile player and TE is a position that could use some depth.

Vann and Ashiru have already been talked about by DC Brown, so they will see the field, if not as part of the two deep, then definitely on special teams.

I agree Pal, also Staff really likes Wilbert Lee, it just all depends on what position (tb/S) he ends up at….

I am really excited to see Vann. I loved his high school film, his play can best be described as violent. The fact he was mentioned by coaches, makes me think he has a bright future as a MLB.

We are in desperate need of a blocking TE/H Back, so I am hoping McQuillan can contribute.

Wilbert Lee's high school coach raved about him, a tremendous athlete. At the very least I think he will be a demon on special teams next year, while getting time in the secondary.

Julian Campenni also has an opportunity now that the two top D Tackles are gone. He has a very compact, stout frame, looking to see if he added more weight. Can fit in well as a NT in 3-4 looks.

Seems to be last years version of Mikal Myers. Similar in build just a little lighter. I like him to contribute along with LB's Vann and Ashiru. Hoping to see what Lee can do as well.

I believe these are their HS measurables. Curious to see who spent time in the weight room. I'd like to see one of the CB's break the two-deep, so we have a little expereince in 2013.

McQuillan @ H-Back will use his size speed in the passing game.

Vann on specials/LB

That list seems nice.something tells me that 7,8, or more are going to be good players with a couple being studs. Something tells me McQuillan is going to be good seems to be very versatile and athletic also been hearing good things about vann, hemingway, lee among others. Got to be excited about 3 big OL in their as well thats pretty awesome. getting hemingway and ashiru late was huge. (UConn the best 3 star and under recruiters.)

IIRC, Adams looked really good in the film they showed during last year's signing day. Look forward to see if he can step in.

It will depend, largely, on injuries. I don't think any of the RS frosh are being pencilled in to start at the moment.

Most likely to have an impact on specials or a chance if injuries occur: Lee, Ashiru, Vann and possibly McQuillan.

To be clear, in my opinion.

If Shoemate gets injured again or isnt as successful at the power-running spot as Coach P would like, its a possibility we see Delorenzo. P raved about the kid last spring.

Are you yanking the guy's chain Palantine? If those are these kids measurables then we're doing a not so good job with our current staff over a year's time with strength and conditioning...
