I figured Dodge would throw everything and kitchen sink at 'em this season... several high profile signees are planned to redshirt.. a little disappointed, but I am glad Dodge feels confident enough to look to the future. These include Keenan Flax, tight end Austin Fitzpatrick, quarterback Derek Thompson, defensive lineman Kyle White and defensive ends LaChris Anyiam and Tyler Washington.

I think we have quality and depth enough at those positions, that all sounds just about right. I could see Fitzpatrick's shirt being burned if Seidle gets injured and Rucker doesn't pan out at the TE spot. Thompson could use a year of learning the system--hopefully injury doesn't force Coach Dodge to burn his redshirt.

Wow, I am a bit surprised. On a team that's only won 3 games in two years, I expected a few of those top recruits to contribute immediately - namely (Flax, White and Noble). On the other hand, if we can get through this season with marked improvement, it will be nice to have those guys with 4 years of eligibility remaining.
