1st off, he will play on Sundays someday. NFL is going the way of his skillset.

In my opinion it very fortunate for him that as a Freshman he will have a Veteran QB (Renner). This will allow immediate playing time I think. A slot WR who specializes in YAC (yards after catch)is VERY dependent on a QB making right coverage read and then LEADING the WR on the route. YAC is impossible if a WR isnt led on the route. 2014 will take care of itself as Switzer and Mitch build a bond during practices.

He is a prefect fit for FedEx system. I think Switzer will average in the 14 to 18 yd per catch range. Understand he will probably catch the ball in the 2 to 7 yd per reception range, the rest will be YAC.

The best comparison I can see for what we will see is how Tom Brady uses Wes Welker with Patriots. Switzer is a Welker-clone and I would venture to say Welker is probably one of his favorite WRs along with The King of YAC in NFL, Jerry Rice.

Discounting injuries, we have a future All American and NFLer here folks :)

I hope he is tremendous, but don't you think it is a little too early for these type predictions. Have you ever seen the kid play? I mean a real game, not just a few film clips. Certainly no one has seen him play a college game.

I'm sold - and excited.

It is well-known that West Va doesn't have tremendous competition in HS. He is going to need to adjust to the size and speed of college. It sounds like he has good hands, is shifty, has good technique and knows how to get open, so has good potential but I think it is too early to label him a college great and future NFL'r.

Heck, you can teach technique and route running, so it is possible an amazing athlete like TJ Logan could start over Switzer as a soph if the coaches liked him Logan as A-back.

I think he's going to put up huge numbers - maybe situational his freshman year, but huge numbers thereafter.

As long as he holds up physically and we have the QB/other components around him that operates to help him, skies are the limit for his skill set.

I predict he will become to be known as the 'Killer Rabbit'...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvs5pqf-DMA

If he is that much of a can't miss prospect, why do you think he was not rated any higher? As I said previously, I hope the kid is a stud. But I have been around long enough to hear all this gushing about can't miss prospects before, that haven't played a college game, only to see them fall way short of expectations. I think I will wait and see how he does before I project him as the next Wes Welker.

No predictions from me. I'm taking the wait and see approach.

If/when the kid doesn't meet your predictions and expectations, you'll be on this board killing him......smh.

Just as one can't teach height in basketball, one can't teach speed in football. One either has it or they don't and both Mr. Switzer and Mr. Logan have an abundance of it.

You dont watch much football do you?? Switzer will not see the field except for maybe punt/kickofff return.
Its this simple . If no injurys this is the 3 deep

A-Back. Slot wr. Wr. Wr
Tapley. Thorpe. Q. Davis. McNeil
K. Davis. D. Washington/Wilkins. K. Singleton. Singleton
R.Smith. Jordan. F. Jordan. F. Howard

If he does see the field it will be in blow situations if he risk his redshirt yr in which i doubt fed will risk it.. swizter is gud just to many with experience in fornt of him.. im not hating just voicing my opinion!!

Its so amazing that so many ppl think that this kid is just gonna come in and jump 4 kids that know the playbook and have experience at the position. Some of you guess shouldve played football then you would know how crazy you sound. He may see action but i doubt it. We dont loose a a-back or a wr in 2014 to graduation or nuttn. So who plays nxt yr will also play 2015 as well if no injury or nobody has been kickd off. We do have the curse of the tick so anything is possible..

Sorry, but I disagree. I think with the system that Fedora runs, you are going to see most of the WR on the team play this year, not just a handful. I think it is going to be even faster than it was last year and he will have fresh legs in as much as possible to always throw the defense off.

Will Switzer start? Hell no, but I see him getting a lot of playing time along with everyone else mentioned.

I do think the threats to other teams next year are going to be Quinshad Davis and Johnathan Howard. Both are 6'4 or taller and have good speed. They are going to be match-up problems for anyone. South Carolina's DB's better be ready to play.

Zackly. We cannot have it both ways -- guys like Hart and Trubisky look legit because of the high level of HS comp. Switzer MIGHT be all that and a bag of chips.

But it is unfair to the kid to just declare him an immediate BCS impact player.

I like the Steve Smith comparision better. Small but fast and shifty. Let's hope Switzer developes a good stiff-arm. Those smaller guys just seem to have a will to win more so than the "average size" guys.

If the DBs are not ready to play, I am sure Clowney will be. I just hope he doesn't take out any of our players in that game with serious injuries. That dude is a monster. Their DBs might not to play much at all if Renner is on his ass all day.

all those that say switzer wont play this year....you need to remember that fedora and anderson want to play 10-12 receivers a year......i think 11 caught balls at so. miss their last year....switzer will play this year....he may not be a superstar as a freshman...but he wont red shirt

I like the Welker comparison, but I love the comparisons to Don Beebe, Ed McCaffrey, Steve Largent, and Jason Sehorn... (rolling eyes).

Very true. But just position wise, I think those 2 would out play their DB's. Hopefully Clowney is sick that day. (One can hope right?)

---------------------------------------------

I am not going to argue with this too hard because I don't doubt that there is a good chance that Switzer may play, but keep in mind that Kedrick Davis was healthy last year and red-shirted and we were in much more dire need for WR bodies last year than we should be going into the 2013 season. So just because we aren't close to this 10-11 WR goal that Fedora has publicly stated, it doesn't mean that he will play a kid just to get there. And honestly, most of the reps that Damien Washington and Kendrick Singleton got were on special teams. McNeil, Platt, and Roy Davis (three walk-ons) got more snaps and caught more balls than any of the three freshmen. In fact, other than Quinshad Davis, Damien Washington was the only freshman to have caught a pass.

Obviously anyone can get injured and if that is the case when they are freshmen, they are guaranteed to redshirt. This possiblity is non-zero and some freshman will get hurt and will have to redshirt... happens every year, usually for more than one player. But even if all of the four freshmen coming in (Switzer, Fielleutau, Howard) stay healthy, there is no guarantee that they will jump the 9 WR/TE's that are returning who have caught balls or the four that are returning freshmen from last year who did not catch a ball. To me, as camp opens, these three freshmen will be 14th, 15th, and 16th on the depth chart with Fielleutau possibly being higher due to his participation in spring camp. Just saying that if you say Switzer is going to be getting snaps, it necessarily means that he will be taking them from someone else who either a) has already established himself on this level as a pass catching threat or b) has had an extra year of physical growth and conditioning. It's way too early to have any idea if that is even possible. I'm pretty high on all three of the guys from last year's class who caught a combined two passes to get some snaps also.

He reminds me of Michael Waddell!!!!

If you are referring to me, I am not counting the Heels out in that came, nor do I think Clowney by himself can beat a team. But he sure as hell can have a big impact and is physical enough to take players out. He reminds me so much of LT his senior year at UNC, impossible to block. That is my biggest fear in that game. I think it will be difficult for us to win that one, I just don't want to leave there with a loss and some key injuries. You did see their bowl game didn't you?

switzer is on field as a-back at a minimum of 10-12 snaps a game this year. Thi si sif he doesnt grasp playbook.
I think more in range of 30's

---------------------------------------------

Whats amazing is that you can put other people down while prescribing to this idea. There are guys in front of him so no one else plays until they graduate? This may be as short-sighted as it gets. This happens NOWHERE.

At every school upperclassmen get beat out by freshman. At every school following a coaching change the staff gets to bring in "their guys" to fit their system. As Coach Anderson explained, our program had all of ZERO "A Backs" when they arrived. As much as they liked the kids from last year's class THIS is their first real class full of their guys. I expect plenty of them will get PT.

They forced some kids into that position last season because we needed healthy bodies there. That doesn't make them a long term fit. The IC depth chart lists Roy Smith, Tapley, Wilkins and Kedrick Davis as A backs. Tapley isn't a RB hybrid although he can play WR and KR/PR. Wilkins hasn't made a mark since arriving. Kedrick only played WR in highschool. Damien Washington looks like a fit because he was a RB and caught plenty of balls in HS. Where's the guy that has a lock on that spot?

As for knowing the playbook, all those freshmen you listed have one fall camp under their belt. IF any stay at A Back in the spring they'll have that camp. Thats it. There are no seasoned "system" vets on this roster after one year.

As for Switzer, all I know of him are highlights. Based on those he reminds me a lot more of Danny Woodhead than Wes Welker. As for a college example there's good ole Sam McGuffie. Another former YouTube sensation who immediately lit it up at Michigan before suffering a series of concussions. Transferred to Rice and played RB there. More injuries made him switch to WR full time.

He has a high ceiling for sure. I am very excited to see what he can do. Ultimately, however, IMO his future will be determined by his ability to avoid injury. Smaller guys have to have an extra ability to avoid them. Welker has to a large extent been a model of a small guy that can avoid injury, but he has certainly had a few over the years.

Well, considering Coach Anderson said explicitly in his signing day evaluation vid of Switzer that he expects him to be able to come in and contribute right away....maybe they aren't so crazy for believing the coach who was responsible for evaluating him and offering him.

---------------------------------------------

I certainly can not predict how much (if any) playing time that any of the incoming freshmen class will get, but I for one certainly expect Switzer to see the field this upcoming season. And, this is just my humble opinion, but I for one expect him to see the field as a reciever and not just as a special team player. Yes, there are recievers who are ahead of him. No doubt about it. But, just like there were recievers ahead of Quinshad Davis ( a true freshman )last season, but I believe we will all agree that he more than suceeded, and this is despite the fact that thier were other recievers allready ahead of him.

Right or wrong, but I expect to see Switzer not only see the field this season, but I expect to see him play and play well. Fedora's offensive system is taylor made for an athlete like Switzer.

i'm going by the 7 on 7 competition i watched him play in and i think this kid is on the field game one as a receiver and lighting up the chickens.

He is the #1 A-Back recruit in the country which is generally a telling sign of talent and potential, so there is that.

good athlete but the only time he played great competition was martinsburg (and they are extremeley legit) on the border of WV/MD/and VA and 3 time straight champions of WV, he didn't do much. But then again, noone does lately against MHS. They are very good and could play with most any states top teams. I lived and coached in the Carolina's and know what it takes. Again, not many teams in WV like that but Martinsburg is. They play a mostly VA and wash DC schedule.

Heck, you can teach technique and route running, so it is possible an amazing athlete like TJ Logan could start over Switzer as a soph if the coaches liked him Logan as A-back.

Calm down Mrs Switzer, maybe we should let him make it through his first summer camp before bronzing his bust for Canton.

so no redshirt with Switzer?

I think he will be great fit for this offense, but why has there been SO MUCH hype surrounding him before he steps on campus? He has performed well at 7on7s, which don't translate well. I am more pumped for Jordan F. who led the nation in TD receptions the past two years.
