from 2017 to 2018. There appears to be more size and depth at the interior positions this season. Granted a few of them will be getting their first action at this level, so there are questions, just as there were questions about depth a year ago.

Well they have the size but do lack some experience. Let s hope that Phelps coaches them up and has them playing well starting with the first game. i have only read about their talent quickness and ability. I hope to see that at game time.
