Confident & Fearless Freshmen Receivers

We are talking about true frosh like Randall Carroll:

Freshman wideout Randall Carroll (Cathedral High) has been one of the guys to watch during the first two days. His speed had Coach Rick Neuheisel talking, but it's his hands that has Carroll talking.
"I'm running a lot more simple routes, routes that Terrence Austin and everybody else get to run," Carroll said. "Not just the deep ball. Me out here showing my hands, it's proving I can do it out on the field."
Carroll's speed has been well-documented: He was ranked as the No. 4 athlete by Rivals.com and was on several top-100 lists.

And Rickey Marvray:

Marvray had a handful of quality receptions in non-contact drills Tuesday.

"I expected him to be a competitive guy, a guy who wants to get a bunch of reps," wide receivers coach Reggie Moore said. "Sometimes you have to pull him out of there, but that's a good thing. You want a guy who is willing to go out there and work."

Marvray showed that eagerness Tuesday, going over the middle for a couple of receptions.

"It's very simple, when the ball is in the air, that's the most important thing in the world," Marvray said. "I could care less who's around me. I actually love going across the middle. If you get smacked, get up and dust yourself off."

Haven't heard that kind of fearlessness from Bruin receivers (and these are freshmen) in a while.

GO BRUINS.
