Camp Roster:
3 blue (RB Brown, K McMullen, P Dayne) - good to know our special teams are solid.
6 green (2 QBs) - decent mix of offense and defense

Best freshmen:
WR Jackson 3.0/5.0
OT Givens 3.0/5.0
DE Smith 3.0/5.0
OLB Swilling 3.0/4.0
WR Brooking 3.0/4.5
WR Byrum 3.0/5.0

Quick around the horn, by position, to note where we have changes from pre-recruiting notes. Note - lineups assume vertical passing and 3-4 D, which I may not run:

HB - it is going to be the Derrick Brown show. Good thing he is durable, as the backups are not good.
WR - Jackson is listed as the starter on the depth chart ahead of Stablein. We are very deep here.
OT - English and Givens are listed as starters, just as I had hoped. Nameless cuts will take place, no doubt about it. Now a deep position.
OG - tough loss to pros, FR Jones moves into starters role. Pretty clear I will need a coach who can develop OLine with the young talent there.
C - Moore takes the starting job. 4 of 5 offensive linemen are freshmen.
DE - Smith takes a starting job.
OLB - two freshmen, Wilcox and Swilling, are listed as starters. Good depth here now.

Wish we had landed some impact players in the secondary, but hard to gripe about the last recruiting class.
