That's a great breakdown... I love the bits about each player, as well as their generic strengths and weaknesses.

As has everyone, I have worried about our wide receivers, but after looking at what we have there this year, we could see a very productive year if they play like they are capable of playing. I think we definitely need to work on mixing up our plays and giving Russel more vertical progressions (including the backfield... which I feel was severely under-utilized last year) as opposed to lateral. I think towards the end of last year, we really fell in settling for that 5-15 yard passing window and as defenses figured that out, they locked down and took away a lot of our options. If we can have a guy that can legitimately challenge the field vertically, watch out. That makes a TREMENDOUS difference... much more than the average fan realizes.

I agree on WR drt. Even though there is less experience, there is so much more upside as far as big play potential. We also went from being real small at WR, to pretty dang big

Nice breakdown of every player. Two notes - I think Zach Jackson is just a sophomore, redshirted in 2011. And with Jiles I believe getting a medical redshirt is different than a 6th year of eligibility. In his case he should get a medical redshirt which I think can be granted at anytime. A 6th year can only be granted after eligibility is exhausted (that was the case with Marcus Green and this year with Tobias Smith).

If a player hasn't already used his redshirt, he's eligible for a medical redshirt if he has a legitimate injury that kept him from playing and something like he only played during the first 30% of the season (Jiles played 3 games... similar to Wendell Lewis, he only played a few games).

I used 247 for there classification

Per 247, Zack Jack is a JR. I'm not 100% certain on Jiles. I thought he had to wait till he was done but I very well could be wrong

Did tobias smith get medical redshirt for this year. ..

FreeDawg · Jul 5, 2013

Yes he could play

But I've heard he isn't 100% sure what he'll do yet. As a fan, I'm approaching it as he's not coming back but if he does its a huge plus

While we're nowhere near the talent level of the top of the sec we do have some great depth and young players. I think this year really comes down to out coaching and putting them in s position to win. I can't look at our schedule schedule and see half the having having more talent.

That's some pretty strong kool aid right there. Is 3rd and 57 a MSU site? if not, I want to read the OM version
