Makes you wonder why they only brought in one back that class because it’s not like they didn’t know about his academic situation. Roster management has been, how you say, complete dogshit, under Bubba. Great post........ lots of sarcasm in my post.

He was a risk but there were many conversations with him prior to getting to campus on whatbthe expectations are and what resources are available. Funny none of these comments of knowing about the risk were made when he signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to be positive with the new signees since it’s such an awesome thing for them. However, I had heard about the academic concerns when we offered him. He seems like a good kid and I hope he figured the school part out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bringing one in a year wouldn’t be too crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone can fairly judge RB’s until we have a good off line is beyond me. Santiago, Oliviera, Johanneson, Gordon, McKinney are all decent RBs. Santiago and Oliviera were excellent. Put these guys behind a good off line and an innovative well balanced scheme and I think we would be tough to stop. The QB situation is also tough to judge without a good off line. I think we have been adequate all things considered. We all tend to look at wins and losses but until we field a complete team I don’t know of many RBs or QBs who could put our past teams on their backs and will us to win. Hopefully our off lines will develop into the strength of our program. A good off line can make an average RB very good but it’s tough for an outstanding RB to make a below average off line good or great. Hunting for hogs is difficult and not an exact science because it takes kids smart enough to understand their schemes with the passion for greatness rewarded with little more than the self satisfaction of dominating the guys on the other side of the line of scrimmage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL attrition under Bubba has been pretty crazy. Some really high potential guys that haven’t worked out. We’ve been especially snake bit at OT.
