The most frustrating thing for many fans of college football is the highly rated freshman talent that doesn’t see the field. It bubbles over even more when we watch young players at other schools flourishing (Pittsburgh freshman receiver Jordan Addison, as a for instance) while your five star isn’t even dressing. Answers are then demanded. “Why can their lower rated player be made ready to play and our top 100 guy is not?”
Even more frustrating is when the answer for the absence is something ambiguous like “traits” a damning term to hear from Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly.
