Great piece Peter. Normally I dislike parents who think their kid is perfect. The kids usually turn out feeling very entitled. But Golden love humble kids like Duke. I do not get the feeling that Brad is arrogant so maybe mom hit the perfect balance with him. I love this kid, but I don't think he starts as freshman. I think Golden trys to redshirt him. Golden wants to grow men to play. Mother seems to love Coley and Al: I hope she doesn't forget that if he rides pine for a couple years.
I actually think Golden give Williams a real shot to start next year and grooms Olsen for another year. Not sure Williams is Coley type QB, but a lot of talent played very little against the gator. Staff wants to play menfolk, not kids. I really believe Brad wins our third Hiesman, but it might not be for a few years. Kelly, Kosar, Vinnie, Steve, Craig, Gino -- that is what we want. To get that one after another means having talent sitting while other play. If one doesn't work out, you can always put next man in a little early.
This staff just keeps hitting balls out of the park. Imagine the monster they will have built in another year or two. Going to need more than one more spot for additional Crystal Balls.
