Very few receivers really dominate in their true Freshman season. It is not just about physical skills. It is about learning to get off the line, getting open, etc. 

He may make a contribution, but I don't expect him to be an important part of the offense until at least next season.

Not going to lie I got a little concerned when I saw his name as a thread title.

I'm not sure what you mean "top end".... Salomon right now has a tremendous about of upside ... I think he'll end up being the best WR we've ever had, he most certainly is the most heralded.  But I do

Yeah, but that was Nate Allen. Assuming that Salomon is on the same level as him is a pretty huge leap.

Nate Allen was not always "Nate Allen". He was originally just a 2 star QB/Ath out of Cape Coral. If a kid is ready to contribute a good coach will find a place for him to contribute.

MVS has a year playing at NC State, so he's certainly ahead of the true freshmen, in terms of college experience.

Yeah, but in that time he did nothing of consequence, and ended up washing out... not exactly the experience you want from the guy you are counting on as your starting wideout. I just think it remains to be seen.

You and I agree on your last point.

It's WAY too premature, but I'm saying this in general.

If you think a guy has true NFL experience, why RS him?  If he's a true stud, he likely leaves after 3 years...so why not play him 3 years?

We shall see.  If Taggart keeps bringing in stud WRs, you don't feel pressed to RS.

Sure, if Taggart thinks he's got NFL-level ability, he'll play him. But that assumes an awful lot.

I think Salomon will be one of those guys who gets momentum as the season goes.  While I in know way think he'll lead in receptions or be close to it.  I can see him as a guy who breaks open a close game with a big play.  I see him as a guy who will show flashes of what's to come.  I think Taggart is grooming him like he did the others.

If you can make the a coaching staff run off on a plug in more than one occasion.... You're a good player. 

I'd like to see Solomen play as frosh.

I think the offense will go as far as the Oline.  I think the starting Oline will likely be better than nit was last season.  Kofi, Hall, Ruff, Threatt, Atterbury will be a formidable line.  It will certainly be the biggest we've had in school history averaging 316 pounds.  That tells you Taggart is going to still run a lot.  I look at Mack, Flowers, Johnson, Tice, and Sands as the most complete backfield we've had.  I look for the rushing numbers to go up.  The only thing that can slow this group will be injuries along the oline, which I honestly don't anticipate given the conditions and the majority of our games are on grass.  The oline is also the least injured position on offense.  If that holds true, we are going to have a next level running game.  I injuries... we'll have to see.  

 

 

I appreciate the time you took to write such a large assessment of the team.  I agree in many areas, but can't agree on the Oline.  Didn't we have (3) seniors last year?  Experience trumps weight any day.

I've seen senior filled lines that sucked. We shalt all see, I'm not worried about it.

How did we snag him, he isn't even local.  Anyone know who had the connection & recruited him?  I know we are USF and all, but just curious :)
