OKCIrish99 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good thread and I like your list. I'd be surprised if Zaire doesn't play this year, honestly. I would LOVE to see him run this offense and the option some with all these playmakers. It'll be interesting to see how the qb position unfolds this season. Kelly says Hendrix is locked in as the #2. Maybe, that is the case for right now. Doubt it will be for the entire year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REMND Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I think Heuerman and Deeb are an injury away from playing. I have read very good comments on Fuller. If he had been here in the spring, I think he would be playing but 3 frosh receivers is a bit much. I think Fuller waits unless he shows good return skills. How big is he? I thought he was small but I saw a reference that he was almost the size of Daniels. If so that is exciting. He allegedly has the wiggle and quicks of a smaller receiver. Even better, he allegedly has hands like Corey Robinson has shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he plays this year. I doubt Fuller plays either at 171. He, also, needs to put weight on. These guys aren't in high school anymore and need to get bigger accordingly.

NDhoosier Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I would move Zaire down to redshirt I would move Fuller up to definitely playing I would move Deeb up to possibly, he will probably play ST. Kinlaw could be in the same boat as Deeb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinlaw could be in the same boat as Deeb.I'd love to see Zaire redshirt, but just think he's too talented to keep off the field this season. Not buying into Rees making it through the entire season (performance wise or health). Hendrix has been inconsistent during his play at ND before. Fuller is not playing this year. Way too many guys ahead of him, and he's too small. Deeb possibly, I agree. Kinlaw doubtful. B-Jax, Russell, Luke, J Atkinson, Butler, and Jalen Brown are all ahead of him. He hasn't even played cornerback that much and had a bad injury last year. Maybe an outside chance he plays special teams, but very doubtful he plays corner at all in 2013. Definitely would prefer to redshirt Kinlaw this year as his potential is very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know he was doing that well. I am really glad we got him. I know others thought we did not need him but I saw a need to reload with TEs with bulk that could block.

I, also, like Weishar coming in next season. I could almost see Heureman being more of a receiver at ND. For what it's worth, Prister was very high on Heureman coming out of hs so confident the kid will factor in down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarious Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 My predictions for the Frosh Good list. For my part, agree with the definitely list, and would put Deeb and Zaire in the playing list. Regardless of where Zaire falls in the depth chart, he is a play away from being the backup, and I am guessing that BK will want to rip that band-aid early and start getting him burn, vs. having the kid not mentally prepared to go in.

I was reading the Heuerman was more like Eifert as. Combo TE receiver type who xan spilt wide. Smythe was the more traditional TE. Nice combo basically. If we get Luatua to go with Weishar, that would be two excellent TE classes in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKellyWasNotTheMan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I think Fuller doesn't redshirt, he could add a spark even with his size. Also, Zaire can't be red shirted when we only have 2 other QB's. Unless, Rees dominates and doesn't get hurt then yes possibly red shirt him.

Unless, Rees dominates and doesn't get hurt then yes possibly red shirt him.Maybe Fuller plays but just think we're to a point, as a program, where we should redshirt him and play the guys in front of him especially since a weight gain would be beneficial in his case. Corey Robinson will be the only frosh wr to play in 2013 imo. Him and Niklas on the field should be a very nice combo, size wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaire would be excellent in a Chuck Martin coach offense which loves to run also. Redshirt Kizer next year though, as he's supposed to be uber talented but quite raw.
