I think Fadnek will be the front runner at QB...just my opinion. A good off season hitting the weights mixed in with speed and agilities and he could be a special kid with really good receivers to throw to. Throw in TJ Allison in the rotation in the back field and the cats will be hard to stop on offense.

The whole "Higgins to QB" thing has been discussed behind the scenes for a while. That would have fit more in the former coaches offense (think Rian Hall). We have three solid QBs for the next two years. By the time they leave, 8th grader Caleb Martin could be ready to be very special.

 

So much to discuss over the next eight months, gotta pace ourselves.

 

Here's an opinion/trivia question..... which all-time Wildcat had the most successful college career. I don't have an opinion yet. Curious to see what you guys think.

Good question, Nole. Eric Thomas made all ACC @ the LB position with the GT Yellow Jackets in 1988, I think. That's a pretty big accomplishment. Mike Caldwell @ MTSU was a standout and of course went on to a career in the NFL. Those two come to mind for me, personally.

NuWildcat TJ Allison may steal the show @ RB next year. He is a hidden gem in my opinion not being able to play this past year. Nole, I saw the Martin kid play for Jefferson and he has an awesome athletic body for a kid that age. With a lot of coaching and with the raw talent he has he could be a superstar in the making, eventually.

And Jason Mcaddley should be mentioned as well. Although he didn't have what I would call a great college career being in a run oriented offense like they had at Alabama at the time. I still think he had a good one given the circumstances. He must have done something right to get drafted into the NFL and have a career in the NFL. Emmon Love had a very good career at UT.

Love was the first one I thought of. Need to research what Danny Sanders did at Carson Newman to see how he was drafted. No combines back in the day. I have no idea of his stats.

I agree Tee is probably too important at other positions to make him the QB. That being said, I think Tee Higgins will be successful wherever he ends up playing. Watching him play football this season was impressive considering he was just a freshman, but after going to the basketball game Tuesday night I was blown away with this kid. He plays the game and carries himself like a senior. He looks so natural out there and you know it is only going to get better. What a good kid too. Any time I have been around its is always yes sir, no sir very respectful young man. Can't wait to see what his future holds.

Hey I thought this thread was labeled 2014 Wildcats not about 2012 wildcats and coach blade. Let's hear what next year looks like and look forward to the future not what happened two seasons ago now.

Welcome to Coacht T NuWilcat..  You will  see a lot of threads on here that talk about other issues other than the posted Advertisement.

 

To talk about the future.. sometimes you have to bring up the past.

Nole. I hope they don't put Higgins there. I think he is too valuable at WR and like you said will be an awesome safety. I think if he has any future beyond HS (Which I think he does, but don't wanna speak too soon on that for sure) but I think if he does it will be at S or WR, but that's just my personal opinion. I went to the Gibbs vs. OR JV game and I was impressed with Fadnek. Like you said if he gets constant reps on the varsity in practice he is gonna be really good, I think. Has a very good arm.

I may start a new thread and just call it "Higgins".. I could talk  about this guy all day long...This kid is special.. I think he can also play running back. As a matter of fact, I would like to see Gaddis bring back the Rocket screen and  feature Higgins. I talk about Number 81 (Bonds) being a key player ---this Higgins kid- is one of the best freshman players I have ever seen.

I am sure that I missed something... But what???
