Good article. Pretty profound statement about his first touch as a freshman being a 23 yd gain against UNC and he only got three more touches all year.

The comment about the OC is 100% correct, I made a mistake by relegating him to a position. You MUST manufacture touches for him whether it comes from RB, SLOT, or Wide Out. Get the ball in his hands, PERIOD. In reference to his knee, Im quite sure he will be ready to go next season. His whole motive in coming to A&T is to play immediately. If he needed to sit an recover from injury, he could have done that any number of FBS schools.

Looks like he’ll be playing some db I Kick return always he needs to touch the ball offensively, could be a Deion Sanders if he’s anything good at DB

But isn't Thomas Howard a DB trainer? If he transferred here from Pitt shouldn't he already be enrolled this semester and participating in the program?
Why do you need to outsource stuff your coaching staff should be working with you on?

Why do you need to outsource stuff your coaching staff should be working with you on? Coaches can’t be involved with the players right now outside of the S&C coach. They can’t interact on the practice field with the players until spring practice time. Unfortunately, Salahuddin will have to work on improving his DB skills on his own time outside of the Jan-Feb workouts and class time. Mac McCain, for better or worse, had a similar set up as he was recovering from his ACL injury.

That concerns me that Salahuddin is that raw as a DB that he feels he needs additional training prior to spring camp. It also concerns me that he hasn't been giving an offseason training program from our coaches to hold him over until the spring.
How do they feel about somebody else teaching him techniques and mechanics that might contradict with what they plan on teaching him?

Why would he change to a DB, when he would be the main guy after Martin graduates next year? Particularly when the offensive line is developing depth to be good for the next 2-3 years four starters returning, Brooks coming in and the likelihood of Big Country signing. I could him teaming with Martin just like Martin and Cartwright did twp years ago.

Hmm... was he only a 4-star kid as a RB or was he also recruited as heavily to play DB?

That is true. Coach howard cant help him right now until spring ball. if he is asking for extra help right now on a position he is not used to playing then lets not scrutinize him for it
