Devonte Bond’s potential

[User-4525]

I expect McCord & Bond to each have around 4-6 sacks this year.

Much more realistic.

SMH...So a full year worth of valuable playing time and experience coupled with all the hard work in the off season, is only worth something like a .02% gain the following year? ....geesh!

Just wait & see....your being too optimistic right now. Look at chick, another year & more weight doesn't guarantee more success. Also, I gotta say is look back at all of McCords sacks last season. He got lucky on 1.5/2 of them if I remember correctly.

The reason teams recruit jucos is because they're instant contributers. Most are 20-21 and are physically ready to play, K State has been living with this Bill Snyders entire career.

I doubt Bond has double figure sacks but the reasons mentioned by the Gaytor makes no sense.

Bond is 240 so the size is just fine for a pass rusher so I don't get that argument .

Btw, heres some of the top sack guys in the NCAA last year ( all are in the top 20).

I listed a combination on reasons why. Coming from JUCO , weight , scheme and other people on the team. Players like Barr and Jarvis Jones play in a 3-4 as OLB/DE. I even touched on that the scheme would have to change for him to play DE. But go ahead and ignore those comments. Have Bond play DE in a 4-3 and see how people run right at him all year and wear him the **** out.

Bottom line is 10 sacks is a lot and for a variety of reasons it is unrealistic. More realistic is McCord and Bond combine for 10 and Chickillo gets 6 or 7. That is 16 or 17 just between 3 people.

You mentioned weight and not being an EE in the post I read and that makes no sense. There's been lots of jucos to show up in fall and ball out. Like I mentioned " I doubt he gets double digit sacks" but the two example above is not why.

Schematically ? That makes sense , I'll give ya that but weight and not EE I can't.

well if you are playing a 4-3 and he is a DE then weight is a problem they go hand and hand. Not being and EE also has an impact. Why do you think coaches push for JUCO's to be EE's so bad?
