Fiest is backup MLB. There is a reason you haven't seen him.

If it's his MCL if he rehabs hard he'll be ready to go by next season. But, if they want to redshirt him no worries at all.

He is a true freshman and played when the defense was on the field for the entire quarter. I guess you expect a true freshman to quarterback back the defense like Minter huh?

It wasn't that he looked liek he couldn't run with the big boys, he needs time to develop a head for the game. And that mean more than 9 months before he becomes the QB of the defense (as far as Feist goes)

I think Melvin Jones is freakishly talented. has Size and athleticism. I wonder if he may be a "casualty" to DE. Especially if Daub stays committed. IDK. It will all work out for the best. Either we have beastly debth at MLB or we have a beast at DE. I think JOnes has a bright future ahead of him.

I think Jones is at least as good a prospect as Kain, stars be damned.

And I believe he tore his PCL, not the MCL so he should be good to go for the Tigers and hopefully good to go for his team later in the season if they make a playoff run.

I hat to say it, but this may help us with recruiting of Foster, just as much as the dumpster fire over there helps as well.

If we redshirt Jones (which I think would be good to look at now and let him fully rehab and get strength back) and if we are hazy on the development of Feist (at least at this time), then Foster would be a great addition.

Let me guess, waterbug forgot his helmet and Jones had to come in.
