during fall camp. Not a few weeks after the season ended, especially when one of the main prospects has been plagued with injury, another with no experience but a highly rated recruit, and one that’s been a very safe and reliable backup. Coaches need time to evaluate and see how players handle competition against each other. Naming a starter now would be reckless by the coaches.
