Congrats Jawauan and Tyreek!!!!!

WR Jawuan Harris, Rutgers: In a tough season, Harris was definitely a bright spot for the Scarlet Knights. He paced the team with 39 catches and 481 yards, both highs for Big Ten freshmen.

B Tyreek Maddox-Williams, Rutgers: The New Jersey native filled in admirably for senior Greg Jones, who suffered a career-ending neck injury. Said head coach Chris Ash: “I really like Tyreek’s future.”

Same guy all Freshman B10baseball and football. When was the last time that happened?

I think we are better next year. A lot of guys like Reek played earlier than they should've but got valuable game experience.

I am glad you said that, but be prepared to hear the opposite. Don't think Harris gets enough credit for what a great job he did this year, especially considering our QB situation was not ideal for most of the year and how low our offensive output was in the four blowouts. Maddox-Williams was banged up for the last few games too. I think we get better too.

It will get better. Stability and talent at the qb spot will help a lot. Our wr position will be improved, with more speed . I also think the OL will get better with more time. Patience on our part will also help.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Great news! They really stood out. They will both only get better and better.

2 examples of kid's whose game IMPROVED throughout the season. Some here claimed they saw "zero" improvement but that's flat-out bullshit. If you watched it was the outgoing seniors, for the most part, who either didn't improve OR regressed this past season. A lot of the youngsters, on the other hand, showed improvement. Just wish we could play guys William's size at Safety instead of LB.

Playing 210 lb. guys at linebacker in the B10 is a recipe for disaster.

Been saying this for 3+ years now; we have GOT to get bigger at LB, and fast, no question!

Congrats to both!

Have a question about this. Wasn't this the reason Jonathan Pollock was allegedly told he would not play? Pollock is 6'0" 220 lbs. Tyreek is 6'0", 214 pounds.
Was it something else about Pollock? I am not trying to start anything here, but not sure why Pollock did not stay.

Watching the spring game from the distance of the stands I thought Pollock looked really short.

I've stood next to Pollock. He was listed by Rivals at 6'1" at the time and, when I brought up the fact that there was no chance he was that height, of course I was bashed here. Anyway 6'0" is probably a stretch, too, but not by much.
