I liked how he helped his lineman out with the step to the left and poof, he’s gone.  I’m getting more optimistic for the season seeing some of the freshmen, JUCOs and transfers contributing.

I didn't know Coach Bray was still here.

Washington has already won the Heisman in some peoples eyes it seems like.

 

I am impressed that he looks this good coming in just before fall camp, but lets tap the brakes slightly on this kid.

 

Hopefully he can be a factor at some point but my money is not on this year.

No.

 

 

Do you know what happens to Tinker Bell when people don’t believe in fairies?

 

The same thing applies here.

I'd rather have a guy show up just before fall camp and impress like Washington than show up just before fall camp like Jordan Stevenson...

Obviously everything is going to get over-hyped for the new few weeks.

 

And I don't know how the first team/second team/etc. breakdown actually went today

 

But as far as Washington goes, he is a true freshman that showed up last week.  At what might be our deepest position.  And he was right in there with at least the second string.

 

I think that says something.

I made this comment in my status update, but I also think that Washington has the speed and athleticism which has been missing on previous rosters (or even the roster in the spring)  When there are comments from different players and coaches specifically mentioning Washington, he obviously stands out in practice.

Definitely agree.

 

And as far as the weight concerns go, De'Anthony Thomas was 169 pounds at Oregon.  As a junior.  He seemed to do OK.

He was also 5'9....I'm not concerned about his weight a whole lot, he will gain that for the 19' season. What we can clearly see though is that he is an electric player. We haven't had that since Abdullah left in 2014

Something they were just talking about on the radio.  Last year, no RB at UCF averaged more than 15 carries per game.  That would allow someone like Tre Bryant or a lighter Freshman to stay healthy.

Yeah, there was talk this morning that they really liked using four RBs last year - one probably more of a Duck-R.  But that kept people fresh. 

 

But I could definitely see Bell, Washington, Bryant and Spielman doing the same.
