Those are two excellent choices. I hope Smiff takes it to the next level. I've been waiting for him to have his coming out party. Hopefully it's this year.Keyshawn Smith
Elijah Roberts
I would love it if Ladson had it all just click. That would be a great boost to the offense.Offense - Ladson (TVD loves to throw the deep 50/50 ball. Ladson has speed and length *pause* I think he'll catch enough to make a big impact
Defense - TS (... I know everyone thinks TS is really good, but I think he goes off this year) 1st-2nd round type season

Redding is another one that could bust out all of a sudden. He has the talent to be a steady contributor. I hope he shows out.Redding
Chase Smith
Chaney showing out in the second half of this season would make us that much better. I'm rooting hard for Chaney. The kid just hasn't caught a single break.Offense: The Don when he gets back
Defense: LT56/JW0
I think he’s the linebacker that hits the field & doesn’t look back this year. Superstar potential imo.Redding is another one that could bust out all of a sudden. He has the talent to be a steady contributor. I hope he shows out.
As the President of the Chase Smith fan club I approve of this selection. The kid has the tools and now he has the coaching.
I love the Franklin pick for the exact reasons you gave. The opportunity is there. That's for sure.Offense - RB Thad Franklin
Buried on the depth chart prior to injuries to Citizen and Chaney, I think Franklin takes advantage of his opportunity and becomes a key contributor in the inside power running game. Allowing Rooster and Parrish a lesser load and focus on bring all-purpose backs. Plenty of short-yardage and goal-line carries equals a good number of TDs.
Defense - DE Mitchell Agude and LB Caleb Johnson
May not be surprises, but I think/hope both UCLA transfers become key play makers as the season progresses under Steele‘s scheme and the elite coaching they are receiving. Johnson especially, since we haven’t see quality LB play in a few seasons.
Plus Agude is a 6th-year senior so he‘ll be looking to put enough good play on tape to boost his draft stock.I love the Franklin pick for the exact reasons you gave. The opportunity is there. That's for sure.
Those two UCLA transfers are really going to help us. I've loved the Agude pickup from the get. He looks like a grown man plus he is strong, twitchy and explosive. A classic UM DE. With CJ it's his speed and range that stand out to me and that will be such a needed infusion of speed at Mike Backer. We haven't had that for quite a while.
Another two talented kids on the verge of breaking out. Brashard could be a real weapon in the Gattis offense. I see him on jet sweeps, end arounds, as well as deep balls. There was a breakdown of Gattis's offense where the narrator focused on the way Gattis uses mesh concepts where the QB hits a receiver on a crossing route and he is gone because of the way it was drawn up. I could easily see Brashard on the receiving end of a few of those.Brashard and Avantae
