I’d have to see them practice…it may be a moot question, there might be a noticable difference between them when they play against college defenses.

Coughlin, Lomax, Tharp, Hamdan….

Everyone gets the early hype—-and may not pan out. Naanee anyone???
18 months ago, Hamdan appeared to be in a close race to start with Kellen. Really? Remember his SR start against Fresno after being in the program for five years? And isn’t Southwick supposed to be taking the #2 from Coughlin next year?

There is a lot of gray area around QB recruits. Every team likes to have one per year (we had two last year to make up for Lomax exit). If Kellen does go down, we definitely need to have backups who are ready to go.

And remember, if you grayshirt Hendrick, is an even higher profile QB going to come here if there is already a guy on campus in his redshirt class? Plus, a greyshirt doesn’t get to run the scout team or go through the fall season. The 2010 experiences for freshmen who redshirt will be valuable too, especially if there is a BCS bowl in the mix. I doubt Hendrick would even be here if grayshirting were the offer.

This is another great example of the importance of solid judgment by the coaching staff. They will get the right attitudes. Get ridiculous depth at every position and sort it out later. Coach Pete and crew will figure this out. If he is good enough, they will get him on the field (Vinnie P anyone???) until Kellen is done stuffing the record book.
