How will Smith change the landscape now that he will be in summer work outs? What month do summer workouts start?

He will not change anything if not given the opportunity. If he's not given the opportunity then other changes need to be in order.

He's good. He's extremely talented. Probably similar rankings to Riley coming out of high school. Could not beat out a very good QB at WKU (Doughty). Can run and throw the ball. Arm strength is there but is he accurate?

I am beyond pleased to hear he made the grade however I sort of like McNulty as an insurance policy. I do think Mini will start but Smith could place him on a short leash.

Something to remember; in 2013 Dajon Williams pushed Derek Thompson all the way through fall camp as a true freshman, and one who had just arrived rather than a spring-enrollee like Connor Means was. Thompson was not declared the starter until the week we were going to play Idaho.

I saw someone post on here before that they heard Dajon lost out once the playbook started expanding and he couldn't keep up with the playbook knowledge, which is very believable. Smith has been here for a while and will have more time to learn the playbook than Dajon did. If Smith can get it down and play within it it's not unrealistic to think he could start game 1. After the way the spring competition went I expect all the huddle 1 reps to go to Mcnulty and Smith.
