The guy we're seeing this year? The one that doesn't trust his shoulder, and is rattled/making the wrong reads consistently? You can talk about that. Much more room to talk about it than after a meh performance against Arizona State by Berkstresser. It's not a thing to be happy about, IMO, though.

Recent scouting report on Sheldon Richardson (from ESPN):
"I scouted the Missouri-South Carolina game in person, and each team had an early-round prospect who stood out. First, I was very impressed with Tigers DT Sheldon Richardson. A well-built prospect who is well proportioned with a thick lower half, Richardson (6-foot-2¨þ, 290 pounds) was an imposing presence even during warmups. Once the game started, he looked even better. He uses his hands well, and Richardson has good mobility and lateral quickness for his size. He showed the ability to get some surge on the inside, using a good swim move to pressure Gamecocks QB Connor Shaw on the first possession of the game and force what ended up being Shaw's only incompletion of the day. Richardson also showed plenty of versatility, lining up all over the formation and even standing up at middle linebacker in some passing situations. He showed good instincts and recognition from that spot on a pair of passing plays, reading the play and redirecting to make the tackle on a screen pass and an underneath throw. His motor and effort are outstanding, and with his combination of size, athleticism and versatility, Richardson lived up to his second-round grade. He finished with seven tackles, a forced fumble and a half-sack, and if he continues to play like this he'll move up the board to the early part of the second round. He certainly played like a top-40 overall pick in this game." He'll be gone unless someone sells him on his stock increasing enough with another year to be a potential top 10 pick.

Nation's No. 1 WR, Laquon Treadwell of Crete-Monee (Ill.) will be in Columbia for the Oct. 6 game against Vanderbilt. Unofficial visit.
Still, HUGE.

If we get the #1 receiver in the country two years in a row, it might attract interest from some of the top throwing QBs in the country. #wishfulthinking

I'd say we're already attracting interest from some of the top throwing QBs in the country, wouldn't you? How 'bout we take DGB out of the bubble-wrap this week? Vandy shouldn't be able to apply the overwhelming pressure that's been keeping our routes short. Franklin should have time to look downfield if he wants to. Lets send DGB on some go routes if nothing else and see if he can make a play on a ball or two. It's time to start using this kid if we have any interest in continuing to snag the high recruits. Don't think for a moment that the SEC HCs aren't going to use DGB against us in the recruiting wars if they don't start using him a little more.

Pretty obvious Franklin's shoulder is FUBAR, but our staff has no confidence in Berkstresser taking over and running the offense.
South Carolina went from a pro-style to zone read offensive scheme last year when Stephen Garcia got kicked off the team and replaced by Connor Shaw. Not sure why we can't do the reverse if Franklin really can't throw the damn ball beyond 5 yards. |

Sounds like Fisher may be back soon, and Ruth could be back by November.

The KC Star article on Franklin is not encouraging:
http://www.kansascity.com/2012/09/24...ts-to-cut.html Quote:
If he's feeling anything similar to what I'm feeling (and it kinda sounds like he is), there's no way he can be effective out there. The shoulder feels loose and fire shoots through it anytime you try to muscle up. The only thing you can do to keep it tolerable is to essentially flex the shoulder as you throw and give it more wrist/elbow snap to compensate for the decreased whip motion in the joint. If this is honestly his labrum acting up again, he's toast. Even if he can fight through the pain, the velocity isn't going to be there.

Pinkel's last three QBs at Mizzou are in the NFL, and he developed a ton of future NFL QBs at Washington. If he's not playing Berkstresser, there's likely a good reason why.

A go route really doesn't take a lot of time. From a protection standpoint, it's relatively easy to block for.
