Think about this for a sec. If our starters end up being:
Hill
Bogs
Jackson
Skal
Koufos
That leaves us with an pretty impressive bench of:
Fox
Buddy
Temple
Zbo
WCS
And that doesn't even account for Papa, Giles, Mason, Carter, Malachi
If we get a few key rooks to really step up (Jackson is kind of a linchpin here), all the sudden our lineup goes from iffy to pretty impressive very quickly. Seeing Jackson really for the first time today is extremely encouraging. We don't even need all of our rooks/youngins to hit it this year... just a few. And they are not in a position of being asked to save the franchise. They just need to play solid. Jackson being a 3 year college guy and Bogs already 24 and pro experience of 6 years... this is very attainable.
Vlade has set these guys up for success in a nearly perfect way.
Also... you can't tell me that this entire project is not
Vlade's Revenge. Listen to Bogs... HE KNOWS:
