Seven true freshmen got to play vs. USC.
Elias Coke, JJ Conyers, Dyzier Carter, Devonte Anderson, Jermaine Polk, Messiah Tilson, and Joey Kopec.
Not bad.

Gregenstein labels us a developmental program as an excuse, one of many, but the truth is winning teams nowadays retool each year.

For example and in case you forgot, UMass brought in 50 new players, jettisoning many who presumably played and developed last year.

Coke seems to look the part.

If there is the probable coaching change, difficult to know how many of those freshmen will be on the roster next season. Expect a mass transfer out and in for next season.

Amazing how the podcast guys talk about some players all the time who never play (Archie) and rarely discuss those who pop up like Coke and Smalls. Coke looked good.

Coke looked great.
With him, Allen, and Houston at WR next season looks bright.

Carter is th one I've heard the most good stuff about. And I think the pod guys here have been raving about Houston.
Also, I'm not much for south Jersey football, but I've got buds from down there who swear by Michael Thomas and Sah'nye Degraffenreidt, were surprised that they ended up at Rutgers, and have been telling me since they signed a couple of years ago to expect big things from both of them.
I told them they will probably wind up at Temple in a few years.

Coke's mom was on my Instagram feed on Sunday. She had an awesome video of her reaction to his touchdown. As a parent, it was quite nice and I'm glad she shared it.

Excellent!
Hope she posts more of these this year!

Not much for South Jersey football? You need a history listen Gus.
