per Greder:
Tuesday morning, senior receiver Drew Wolitarsky encouraged Rhoda.
“I told him, ‘Hey, it’s on us this week,’ ” Wolitarsky said. “So we’re going to get together, watch film, get him prepared. He’s excited. I saw the big smile on his face. Obviously we’re going to miss Mitch out there, but he’ll still be at practice.”
Rhoda did not play during his sophomore season a year ago. He attempted one pass in a 51-14 blowout of Iowa during his freshman season in 2014.
Croft had his redshirt removed as a true freshman last season; he played little in three games, going 7 for 17 for 34 yards. Claeys would like to have Croft be redshirted as a sophomore this season.
Wolitarsky said he’s seen a lot of development from Rhoda, a former walk-on.
“Just to see the amount of work he’s put in, and the amount of talent he came in with that he’s really crafted, it’s amazing,” Wolitarsky said. “He got offered (a scholarship) last year, (and) that was big for him. A lot of confidence has grown in him, I see that on the field. The way he runs the huddle, the way he reads defenses, he’s become a much smarter player.”

“Just to see the amount of work he’s put in, and the amount of talent he came in with that he’s really crafted, it’s amazing,”
Is Wolitarsky saying Croft didn't have a lot of talent coming in but has now built it up?
