Busc, are they pretty different players?

I don't think we'll know much until we see them both at the college level. We've seen Hayseed, but Zeke is still unproven.

The funny thing is (and the point I was trying to make), both of these guys have a strange skill-set, in that they probably can play each of the four positions I listed. Sadly, sometimes due to need and depth, kids play positions that aren't their best positions.

I'm certainly not saying HSmith played out of position this year. For all we know, he was used perfectly and he'll end up there and have a great career. But when you see athletes come in who have the ability to play a number of positions, it's often difficult to look back on his career when he's done and say "that was the position for him."

That being said, kids like this are a Godsend. You're shallow at a certain position? Plug him in. The next year a guy graduates at another position and the kid can fill that role? Plug him in.
