Now that we have made it 2/3 through the season, it's pretty clear that Prime did not bring many pieces of LV from the TP. I do think we have seen some very talented freshman that have a lot of potential to become that with experience (like O. Miller, Stoutmire, Edwards, McClain), and there are reports that Coach Hart really likes the Freshmen LBs, but there is still a lot to be desired. Thoughts on the list below for the players that we have already seen a bit this year brought in by Prime et al (for their luggage brand):
Legit LV: Shedeur, Hunter, Weaver and MAYBE Horn and Shilo
Samsonite: Alston, Antonio, Bentley, Cooper, Dawson, Dominick, Manns, Mata (if inside of 35 yards), , Mitchell (when allowed to play), Silmon-Craig, Ward
Amazon Basics: Breedlove, Cokes, Gaines, Harris, McClendon (maybe one of the most disappointing), McKaskill, McNeill, Payne, Slusher, Walker, Wilkerson
Old Shopping Bag: ENTIRE OL, J. Brown, Feely, Jay, Kennedy, Robinson, Smalls, Smoke, Wallace.
Left out are all of the prior regimes' players, good or bad, since they are not the ones that this staff brought in and touted so highly.
I don't think any of the above were injured as an excuse for not getting PT or an opportunity, so that means that they have not shown the coaches that they are better than a lot of the garbage on the field.
So far, I think it's pretty clear that you cannot build an entire team from the TP. It should be used to fill in spots to rent a player for a year or two, and with only a handful of exceptions, you should not expect to get more than 2-3 players that are legit LV opposed to just bodies.
