So many people are expecting the kid to come in and make big plays for the offense this year. I just don't know how this kid is going to come in and contribute that much when we have so many WR's slated inline to play. At 6'0 173 I just don't understand how a guy can come into the SEC and dominate.

I'm not expecting him to "dominate". I do however expect big things from him. His speed and vision are incredible.

I think he did well at corner in the All Star game, I don't think he'll play there in college, but he kept up...

Who knows if the Au fans are over-rating him for sure. I'd tend to think that he's over rated/hyped by the Au fans, just like 90% of the recruits when fans of their school hype them up. He was a 4* right? So it's not like this guy was the #1 recruit in the nation or in the top 25. It's all speculation at this point.

If Auburn gets Greg Robinson he will have contributed big time

Nobody will know until the season gets here. I think it will be tough for him to get very much playing time as a freshman because of the WRs we have coming back in front of him that have age and experience going for them. Most AU fans I have talked to seem to agree he might get some playing time at kick or punt return and possibly some playing time at the slot position (similar to travante stallworth last year before he was hurt).

Reed could be solid, but anyone expecting big things from him should mind the LSU fans' reaction to losing him out of state.

Can't be a good sign when he signs at a rival, and the hometown fans say, "meh".

I'd say let's give the kid 10 or 12 snaps at the college level before passing judgement. All I know is he had an offer from Arkansas and I would have been glad to have him playing for the Hogs.
