19 receivers on the roster - 9 are listed as Fr. Zach Hollenback included in the 9, but I thought he took part in spring ball. At least 8 will play in any given game, so 10 are probably needed to account for injuries. Jones, Henderson, Naccarato, Burke, Janssen, and maybe Lucas will be in the rotation for sure. If not Daum, I think a couple of other frosh WR will not redshirt.

Maybe he should red shirt? Then he can enroll at Oregon for his 5th year after graduating in 4.

I hear he's got brains and no kids.

I think Reese Carlson will be in that group as well. I believe he was the scout team offensive MVP his freshmen year and has showed really good promise.

I think he could beat out Naccarato.Hammer said:
I see a few names on that list that he could beat out. But even if he doesn't start, should he play right away if he's good enough to get significant minutes and contribute? I say yes, partially because I wonder about the health of some of the listed starters.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see both of the Calhoun brothers on the field this season, as well as a few other frosh.
Look, Stitt may not even BE here in five years to see a redshirt Daum on the field. He needs the wins NOW and will unapologetically sort out the roster and eliminate WR's to find the best. If he sees that it is Daum and he can get production out of him immediately, then, yeah...he'll play 'em. Stitt will build GRIZ wins to pad his resume to move elsewhere because, well, we just don't pay well, remember?

True. But Stitt will be pretty selective, and this may turn out to be an opportunity to take this program to the next level, Dog willing.
I have been following Dalton Daum for years, what a lot of people don't know is just how good he is.
He has great hands, speed and is pretty durable. He is also extremely smart.
I think he is one of the best receivers on the roster. Understandably he is going to a much higher level, However he has never failed, and I don't expect him to start now. He is really excited to go to the Griz, and looks forward to the new challenge. Can hardly wait. Very exciting to watch.

Most of this is probably accurate...however I don't think anyone can accurately guess at the length of Stitt's tenure at this time. Lots could happen in the college football landscape over the next 5 years and I don't know what Stitt values most in terms of coaching and life or if that will change. Something tells me he could have left Mines' for "greener pastures" years before he finally did. I'll just say I hope he does well and sticks around awhile.

Well he was awarded All-State honors at FIVE positions in his senior year ALONE. :thumb:
Not to mention he was the back-up QB to the All-State Cook brothers.

4:05 - 5:35 ..... I think a few (receivers) can play right away
7:13 - 7:47 ..... Got kids late that really fit our offense
16:30 - 17:24 ... Daum can fly, likes his speed as a play-caller, going to put years on Stitt's life.

I used to be of the every freshman must red-shirt philosophy. And still feel that way mostly.
But in this case, I feel Daum will (and should) play right away. I stated a long time ago (when he was signed) that Daum was to skilled and athletic to sit. He will return kicks and be in the rotation at receiver. That is his goal, he wants to play right-away. He is well qualified...speed up the wazzu...3,000 receiving yards...and 4 years experienced in fast-paced, no huddle, spread offense at BHS (that always lead the state in passing).
One example that is better though for a red-shirt (than the Holmes example) is Jabin Sambrano. He didn't red-shirt, and man everyone would have wanted him back for a 5th year, instead of being with the Ind Colts.

One caveat on the "I think a few (receivers) can play right away" comment...is that he later added two FBS transfer receivers (and another high schooler)...so "a few" true freshman may turn into less than a few playing right away.

I'm in the red shirt the freshmen camp... Unless they're really needed at that position right now.
Dalton Daum is explosive and a potential game changer. Though he is also quite young and relatively small.
Agree with "the best athletes should be on the field". Yet if we want a 10 wide receiver rotation and Daum were the 8th or 9th best on the squad I'd rather red shirt the kid and have him for four full years rather than as someone going in for 8 plays out of 80 as a freshman. So unless he is among the best 4 or 5 receivers this fall I'd give him a year to learn and gain some size. :ugeek:

I see both sides, play right away or red-shirt. A 5th year is ALWAYS better than a true 1st year. But as Coach Stitt said, Dalton Daum IS the fly sweep. So I see him playing in 2015.
North Dakota State played a similar true freshman receiver last season, and he had ok numbers, sounds like he helped NDSU win (even started): http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6269&path=football
