And some people think its asking too much for True Frosh to perform...
Luck and Hogan were both terrific play makers as RS Frosh. Alex Carter, Jordan Richards, and CMac were very good as True Frosh. Solomon Thomas, Alijah Holder, and Joey Alfieri are all playing well as RS Frosh. and Hooper was great as a RS Frosh last year. Has Stanford had any truly elite WRs recently? No. None have really been great as Frosh. Rector had a great YPC average as a RS Frosh but the reality is he didn't have that many catches and couldn't get on the field as a True Frosh when Stanford was hurting for WR production. He's a nice player, but hardly elite.
The reality is the best players your team will have make big contributions early. If Annan doesn't play well next year, it would be cause for concern. I'm already concerned because Anderson didn't mention Annan as one of the Frosh who is standing out. He did mention Dylan Jackson. If Michael Williams doesn't play next year period, it will be evident he's more than likely not going to be a great player. But I really like what I see from Williams in his videos and would be surprised if he isn't getting lots of PT as a True Frosh.
When you see Meeks playing this early and making the plays he did vs. WSU, it's safe to pencil him in as a star in the making. I do believe Love and Irwin also have the potential to prove they are stars in the making as True Frosh, but they need more opportunities to make an impact, IMO.
