Jai and Phelon came in with just as much hype


Jai... in terms of rating, maybe... in terms of hype, no. Phelon... no. Patrick Johnson has been the most hyped cover corner I can remember to be honest with you.

No one's saying he'll start off the bat. We're arguing he more than likely won't redshirt.

And the hype for these kids grows every year. RP had more hype than Peyton Manning and Kevin Faulk combined. Hype = hype and that's all. Lets at least wait until they step foot on campus before we start declaring who will redshirt and who will play and who will start.

From the original post

Possibility both are starting by Nov. 8th.

BTW, I like how you slipped in "No one's sayin he'll start off the bat."

Does anyone here remember Darryl Johnson or Nick Child? They were supposed to be our Sean Taylor and Champ Bailey. Not saying PJ will not be good, but just realize it's hard for true freshman to play, much less start and that redshirting is a real possibility. Hell, it's better to have the possiblity of having PJ for five years than to burn a redshirt if Jai, Hawkins and Jones solidify themselves as starters.
