I suppose you meant in terms of all of the JUCO guys we bring in being a relative success?

Yes.

He is not as far along as some have been in the past, and I think they intend to redshirt him for the LT in '14 if/when Cyrus goes pro. Kellen Williams will graduate, so it would be Brandon Greene and a freshman otherwise. Whether or not I think Greene is the future LT, that still isn't good depth. The fact he and his coach have reiterated him playing LT has me wondering.

A ton of them work out, but then you have a few that fall behind. Brandon Lewis wasn't big enough to play end, so they moved him to offense just long enough for him to give up football after stumbling down the depth chart at TE. Travell Dixon fell behind true freshman Geno Smith learning the same 2 positions, which pretty much doomed him from the get go. There's another I really don't want to bring up considering the circumstances, but was he still running 2nd team before it happened.

I'm not saying Brown is gonna fail by any means, but I'm not sure enough to pencil him in for RT over someone who has been the backup for the last 2 years. That doesn't mean he's necessarily talent, but he wasn't exactly backing up Chris Capps either.
