A lot of people in here are fooling themselves if they think Jackson is ready to help us next season.
This kid needs a redshirt in the worst way the same way McCord needed one his freshman season.
And you don't think McCord experience helped him his sophomore year? Who was the last kid we shirted that actually benefitted from it? Now quickly name one player on our roster who became a player after Redshirting? Dallas Crawford?? Golden doesnt recruit well enough to redshirt potential impact players. I think Demetrius is skinny as **** but so was Gabe terry and Figueroa and grace. Even Jamal carter. Golden likely won't be here to see Jackson's last year as a hurricane anyway. Play his *** somewhere it doesn't have to be a starting d spot
No I don't think McCord's experience helped him. He only played like 10 snaps a game this season.
And what kind of stupid argument is it that that you can't name a player that benefited from redshirting at Miami? Redshirting is something that all
successful programs do. Freshmen shouldn't be relied upon. Just because our last couple of coaches were ****ty at developing players doesn't mean redshirts are a negative.
Terry, Figueroa and Grace all had minimal impacts in years they should have redshirted. I believe their development was actually stunted by being forced to play before they were physically and mentally ready. And what about Jamal Carter? He didn't do **** for us this season.
If a kid is ready to play then I have no issue with him playing his freshman season. I don't think Jackson is ready to help us at all this season. He's an extremely raw football player that needs to be
coached up before he can help us.
