We have a Roster.
This, according to ME, is the clear comparative Edsall over the other 2. He knows how to fill 85 slots and you see potential up & down the depth charts.
When we were good ... we had 3-5 RBs that could see the field and perform; then when Donald Brown left, Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman showed up. I see 5 RBs that are far more interesting to me than most all the last 6 years (and that's not to denigrate Arkell Newsome). Dante Black and Gillespie joins Kevin Mensah who looked solid often and Hopkins and (now) raves about 4.38 Zavier Scott. WRs there is Mayala + Beals; Buss + Donaldson; Dixon + Donovan Williams; Skanes ... and we might throw to that converted TE McLean and others. Better youth and talent at OLine. Van Demark - DeGrange - Crozier - Cespedes - Peart with Hubbell - Holmes - Tunstall is what Randy said he expected in the Stamford speech.
What else did we have from Edsall in the past?
Great corps of Linebackers (usually 6 deep) (so, we need Thomas & Gardner & Terry & Hahn & Jones to play with Beavers) and then a range of DBs that often played to All Conference. While we lost our entire DLine from last year, the Thomas-Murphy-Fines NT with a host of DEs.
OK ... the "woe is me" bunch state 1 win. I think this is looking like things are coming together; in spite of a really tough schedule.
QB? I think we have 4 good choices and we played Jonny McEntee and Chandler Whitmer not long ago. We never had anyone that came near Orlovsky after he left; however, there is Pindell (and we hope he plays to a solid level ... but Washington & Krajewski are our Paper potentials.
There ... my Hope for 2018 UConn Football: They ranked us 100+ in FBS and we get above 60 in Final ranking. In College Football, you need bodies and depth of talent sometimes more than a few four stars.
