Why is the coach so reticent to name players?
When asked about the backup QB, he didn't name the competitors. When asked about Freshmen who are standing out, no name given. When asked about the RBs, he referred to Jones, Peat, Woods, and Maddox (who he said ay not play this season), but no Freshmen in the mix were identified, even after referring to "young guys." Asked about Cornerbacks, he mentioned KBK and then he used as many names no longer on the team (Adebo) as on it (Bonner) in his answer.
I can't imagine it says a whole lot about Jack West, if Shaw couldn't name him as a backup QB. I'm assuming Filkins and Smith would be getting on the field at RB, but it would be nice to hear their names to confirm that. My guess is Zarhan Manley would be one of the top choices at CB in part because we has a Cal commit, and Wilcox has done a good job identifying talent, but Salim T-M, was suppose to have been a ballyhooed recruit, and not hearing his name at all is a little bit surprising.
Do any of y'all know who the backup QBs are? I honestly hope Mills finally enjoys an injury-free season. He should be back to full health after having a full off season to get stronger, assuming full health is possible after his injury history.
