Kyle Prater looks to be a depth guy to me. He doesn't have huge upside, but he's solid & consistent. Ryan St. Julien reminds me of Zenon in that he's a guy that could be good in college, but I don't see a high draft stock developing there. Duplessis doesn't look to have huge upside or draft ability either, but I think he could be a very good nickelback for us.
I was starting to think he was overrated earlier in the year when he was basically not putting up any stats, but he was injured & being double-teamed. He had a good Under-Armor bowl game. Any reason you think he's overrated?
I don't believe in star power, I'm watching film on these guys and they are raw. They are going to need that buffer gap to catch up. Not all of them, but more than last year. Because I say they need more time to develop doesn't mean I think they aren't as talented.
Two things for me: 1) Stats. His JR year was phenomenal, but (maybe because of injuries or double coverages) his SR year wasn't nearly as impressive. 2) I'm not sure he really has the speed or the size to get open against SEC DB's. I hope I am wrong, but with the WR talent we already have, plus the 2008 signing class, I feel as though Tolliver may be the one that doesn't see the field much. Again, I hope he is a stud!!! :crystal::geaux::crystal::geaux::crystal:
I think Tolliver was over hyped early on because people got wrapped up in the recruiting wars between schools, and he was our best guy -- so obviously he was hyped up a good bit. I think he is a great player though, and brings a unique, speed skill set to the table.
