Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
Ditto. I heard the same thing about several of our recent highly touted WRs. Few of them have done anything in the Pros.
It's fine to be enthusiastic about a new recruits potential, but to definitively state a kid will play on Sundays sets an unfair expectation and is setting yourself up for disappointment when they don't meet that expectation.

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.

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 :)

And let us not overlook Johnathan Howard from Georgia! Between these three incoming freshmen recievers I feel like we have some great potential for the recieving corp.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
This is what I suggest we do for Clowney:
"What you've got to do is cut the hamstring on the back of his leg right at the bottom. He'll never play golf again, because his weight displacement goes back, all his weight is on his right foot, and he'll push everything off to the right. He'll never come through on anything. He'll quit the game."

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.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
LF has stated the squad he inherited did not have the right personnel to man the A-Back as he envisions it in his offense. With that in mind, do you think he's going to red-shirt the #1 A-Back recruit in the country? It's not as if there's an established position player in front of him (like Hubert and Strickland on the basketball squad) keeping him off the field. He will play if he shows up in camp and outplays everyone in front of him. LF is about results not seniority.

The last time you started spouting on this subject, I told you I will bet you ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS that he WILL be a contributor, on Offense, from Scrimmage, in 2013, and you suddenly Disappeared.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
I realize his team got destroyed by Martinsburg, but I wouldn't call Switzer's effort "not much"
He finished with 120 rushing yards on 22 carries and had four catches for 69 yards. He threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to GW quarterback Trevor Bell on a halfback option play late in the third quarter.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
You may well be correct in your assessment and I hope you are. If you have seriously been evaluating players for 40 years then you should know better than to make those types of predictions. Most scouts I know are very reluctant to say much of anything positive predicting a prospect's future success. Name the sport, you and I have both seen can't miss prospects not make it for countless reasons. I am reminded of Mike Tyson's famous quote- everyone has a plan until they are hit in the face. Let's let Switzer get hit in the face and see how he reacts before we annoint him All America status...it will be a whole lot less pressure on him.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
Good lord, man. You do realize that there are plenty of coaches who have been evaluating players for over 40 years now and they passed on offering Switzer a scholarship. Again, I feel like anything posted on this thread that isn't in line with the Switzer-love is going to be labelled hate, but just because there are a few folks on who feel that a recruit is going to be all-world doesn't mean it will happen. This happens every year, and it's good that we are excited about certain recruits, but there are a lot of things that will have to happen for Switzer to make the NFL. A lot of those things are outside of his control also...not just injuries, other things.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
I doubt we recruited this guy thinking "redshirt" his freshman year. With our scholly limits, we can't afford automatic redshirts at skill positions. He will get his chance next year, and if the coaches like what they see, he will get playing time.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
Now I like this thread...here we are arguing about whether or not a top flight recruit is going to see playing time his freshman year and if he does, to what extent will he be effective...cool.
Much better than the inane bantering about how we whiffed on a recruit in the first place.
FWIW, the 7 on 7 example someone offered is a great indication of how he stacks up against his peers. IIR correctly he did quite well...If his elusiveness translates well to the college level, he will be hard to bring down in the open field.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
Nope what?
Injuries, grades issues, coaching changes, growth of other players, off the field issues are all things that are considered "at this level." Scheme is important, but what is it about this kid's skill set that is so different than someone like Kedrick Davis, Romar Morris, Reggie Wilkins, Sean Tapley, or TJT? His playing time isn't going to be evalutated in a vaccuum. There are several guys already on the roster (some of which have proven that they contribute at a high level in real games) who are at least in the same ballpark from a skill set level as Switzer for playing in the slot or as an A-back.
What makes you so sure of Switzer relative to these other guys which he would have to supplant to gain reps? I don't have a problem with hyping Switzer but it needs to have some context. If you are going to ignore evaluations of other coaches and only focus on your own, that shows some arrogance about your own opinion, but that's fine, the coaches who didn't offer him certainly could be wrong. Like you mentioned, UNC runs a very different scheme, but I would be very curious to know what about him is so well-suited for it relative to some of the guys that I already mentioned.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
Gotcha, that's great that you have eyes and a brain, but it's not a particularly compelling argument. You're obviously suggesting that those who are not as convinced that Switzer will a) be able to leapfrog those ahead of him on the depth chart, in the class of 2012 and his fellow commits in the class of 2013 and b) stay healthy and avoid off the field issues for four years, do not properly utilize their eyes and brain? Or that the coaches in the region that did not offer him a scholarship do not also? That's a ludicrous argument.
It's a cyclical argument, I know, and it's two posts from breaking down into a juvenile name-calling session, but it's obviousl when posters have legitimate, sincere, unbiased opinions of the situation and others who have an agenda. At least I'm glad that we are in full understanding regarding your relationship with Fedora. I see a player who has quickness and a remarkable skill set when compared to the other players on the field, but there are several things that may question anyone who says he is going to the NFL based on what we have seen to date.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
i have been at both games the last two years when he played Martinsburg. I couldn't care less what his numbers say. He and his team were non-factors. But, as stated earlier, that is the case against whoever Martinsburg has played against lately. So, I definitely know he is player but just saying, his numbers mean nothing if you watched that game. Martinsburg's defense is dynamic but they tend to give up some junk yards, etc. It was a no contest both games last two years..That was my only point.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
Very Very Very Small. He might be 5'8" at best. Talent level in WV was Horrible. He does not have the body frame were he could add a lot of weight, without effecting his speed and quickness.
Body will not be able to take the hits he will take. Definite red shirt. He has a lot of swagger but not enough to make him effective on the next level. He's a mini Wes Welker and Welker is small

LOL. 0% chance of redshirt unless injured in camp.

Everybody needs to chill out! The guy is still in high school, probably deciding what type of tux to wear to the prom. ALL RECEIVERS BROUGHT INTO THE FEDORA SYSTEM HAVE THE PROBABILITY THAT THEY WILL HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT. With his speed and quickness, he has enormous potential.

Re: Switzer Impact/Prediction
correction, vast majority of talent in WV bad. Martinsburg and maybe one or two others could absolutely compete in any state FWIW. Martinsburg is one of the better ran high school programs i have ever seen and i have been around some high quality north/south carolina, mississippi, etc high schools. They are legit.

i have been at both games the last two years when he played Martinsburg. I couldn't care less what his numbers say. He and his team were non-factors. But, as stated earlier, that is the case against whoever Martinsburg has played against lately. So, I definitely know he is player but just saying, his numbers mean nothing if you watched that game. Martinsburg's defense is dynamic but they tend to give up some junk yards, etc. It was a no contest both games last two years..That was my only point.

Brasky, you proved your insanity on the conference realignment threads. Not one thing you and your butt hurt compatriots posted was true. Now you come here butt hurt even more that the best recruit from WV in 10 years wouldn't even consider UWV. Please stop wasting space here.
