Who are Freshman most likely to be "greenlighted" according to CJF

A good many individual pictures in this link. Picture #8 is of Durant, but Kemajou is also in it and he looks like there's no way he's only 250 lbs as listed on the PSU roster. I believe Knowles complimented his stoutness vs the run and he looks the part!!

Didn't catch that. He does look bigger than 250.

Two WR's we haven't heard much about lately are Gonzalez and Samuel.

Gonzalez missed his freshman season with a reported injury. But would add some size to the WR group. Haven't heard a word about him lately.

Samuel was a playmaker, especially on deep throws, in the Spring practices but all signs pointed to him needing to add more muscle in the S&C program before he really competed to get into the WR rotation. But if he is continuing his playmaking in Fall camp I'm surprised someone hasn't seen it and reported it.

One thing is very noticeable is the Lineman don't look flabby.
It seems each position group might have their own hands signs. I have no idea what they mean but I noticed many different ones.

Those two might still be a year away from contributing @ WR.

Franklin flat out said that about Samuel, i.e. he needed a good bit of muscle gain before he would see playing time. But since he had a good many reported highlight catches in the Spring it was reasonable to assume he would be doing that in Fall camp as well.

Gonzalez on the other hand seemed like a solid WR recruit with some size that I don't remember hearing anything about now midway through is 2nd Fall camp.
