But you are correct there is a ton of unknowns with these guys. I just know that when I saw Sanders play a couple times in high school he was one of those freakish athletes that made my jaw drop a couple of times. He reminds me a lot of Jermichael Finley. I thought Sanders would end up playing the edge in college but TE seems to be a natural fit for him.
My guess is they wanted to give him a redshirt year. He played a little early in the year but with the new redshirt rules I believe you can play in like 3-4 games and redshirt still.
I hope I’m not wrong but I think he has the ability to be a really special player.
From what I understand with Sarkisian if you don't practice hard enough you don't start. He mostly played on special teams. My brother thinks he was so good in high school that you could pay him pay him wherever he wants and you'd reap the benefits. But the coaches are putting him at te. He needed a year to learn the position.
from what I understand, the coaches wanted to play him at defensive end, but he wanted to play offense.
You are correct. He insisted on playing TE.
As far as him not starting his true freshman year, have just a little patience. He’s a freak but the coaches wanted to beef him up and improve his blocking. When he gets his hands on the ball, you’ll see what the hype is about.
Not necessarily beefed up, just stronger. Extra year in the weight room just like most offensive lineman need for blocking, no matter how good they are. Dude was a 5 star at TE and DE. He’s a freak.
He didn't know how to play the position and needed a year to learn. It doesn't matter how athletic you are if you don't know where to go or who to block.
That too. Doesn’t do any good to know where to go, if you’re just gonna get run over when you get there.
He's one of the freakiest athletes I have seen at his size in the last 20 years of watching and following Texas high school football very closely.
Well we get to find out about what kind of coach Jeff Banks is this year. He's supposed to be our te/st coach let's see if he can develop Sanders or for that matter Will Stone and Issac Pearson. And you know D'Shawn Jamison may not be good enough to play db in the NFL but he has the ability to make a career as a special teams player. Look at our own Devin Duvernay. And who knows maybe Carrot Top will be our next kicker.
And as for te not just Sanders but Gunnar Helm and Juan Davis às well. Look we all know Jeff Banks is freaky deaky when it comes to wives but I really don't care. He has talent that he's recruited he's had a full year with his kids. Player development is all I care about. All of us are tired of top 5 classes and poor player development. Show is what you got Banks.
