Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 313497, member: 485"] Might want to curb that enthusiasm, though it helps that he has had a PG year and Spring practices. Qadry was a greyhound in comparison -- a speedy deep threat; Ashton has him by 2 or 3 inches and 25 pounds. You might think of Aaron Weaver as a physical comparison (the WR transfer from Hofstra a couple of seasons back who got hurt after 2 or 3 games but had a similar combination of size and decent speed). Weaver played in the slot and ran slants. Ashton might be an "H-back" who moves out to the slot or into a second TE role. In high school, Ashton ran out of the shotgun, using power more than shifty moves. With what we have at FB (not much), seems likely we would see Ashton as the second back (in the slot or as a wing-back) and fewer plays with a traditional FB. Go small with Gulley as the slot back; go big with Ashton. [/QUOTE]
