Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 a bruiser with deceptive speed, could be a real good one in a year or 2. or he could be the next AD We may have to come up with a different nick-name like......."The Nut Crusher" because if you get in his way he'll Crush....YOUR...NUTS!

Hunter94 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 i hope cally gives this kid a chance, so far the wco seldom features the FB in anything that requires handling the ball Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 i hope cally gives this kid a chance, so far the wco seldom features the FB in anything that requires handling the ball He is going to be playing IB... Quote Link to comment

This kid is going to be a bruising I-Back I would hate to step in front of him on his way to a few touchdowns!! Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 good deal, i was concerned they might think he was a step too slow and would piegeon hole him at FB spot.....i wonder if he is faster than Glenn or maybe even more physical, or just plain better moves or burst? anyone happen to have an early feel how he would compare to a Glenn or Lucky? was thinking 235 might be a little big to have that breakaway speed/move that cally likes to have in there at I back..thoughts?

Alex 4.0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I have read about him in a couple places, the concensus seems to be he would be a great every down back in the WCO because of his upside for blocking. He is supposed to have more moves than Glenn and even more physical, but doesn't have quite as much top end speed..... lets get him here, let him develop for a year and see how he comes out. Could be a really good back. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 i would love to see this kid red shirt and really learn the blocking assingments and his position and then be ready to step up the next year. if Lucky or Glenn have a break out year next year i see the one that does bolting for the NFL the next year Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Would it be possible to use Castille as a fullback next year and then move him to HB after that. Make him learn both positions to maximize the talent on the field or is two positions two much for a freshman to learn right away. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 might be tough, maybe not......who do we have lined up for fb duty now? (didn't Todd graduate?) thinking maybe this kid has a chance to see some real playing time later in the season? Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 IIRC Thomas Lawson will be next in line for fullback, If Randy Jordan and Coach Callahan called Castille the best RB they had watched this year then I am sure they plan on playing him at that position. I expect a redshirt year, then contributing immediately after that, could be starting for a couple years if things work out well. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 i know it would be expecting alot, but would be nice if he was so good that we just had to get him in their...sounds like a Kenny Irons type of player? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 He definately has the size to be an every down back...........can probably take a good amount of punishment. Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 He is a hell of alot bigger than Kenny Irons.. I would say he is more like P.J. Hill from Wisconsin as far as body type. Quote Link to comment
