Good back, but has to be bigger before he's a "between the tackles" type runner.

You sure he'll be there in 2012?

I did hear from a Bama fan (fairly connected) that D.Hart will be processed that helped Yeldon go to Bama... Have you heard that also
D. Hart has zero to do with why TJ committed to Bama. I doubt very seriously that he gets "processed". He'll play early and often in 2012. He will return kicks and possibly punts. He'll be a situational offensvie weapon too. Dee Hart will touch the ball through kr/pr, rushes, and catches about 100 times next year.

Ya it did, but he still was away from the team for a week or so at the end of the season, to deal with some personal stuff.

I believe Corey is still going to be at RB next fall. I know he hass been working on the scout team as a db, but he has also worked at RB too, just not as much because he was needed at db more for practice purposes. He was named the MVP of the scout team too, so glad he is working hard. I may be wrong, but I haven't heard from anybody that he has permanently moves to db.

So you're saying he's a scat back?

Why bring that up, he will qualify? We no longer have Tubs recruiting for us... Chiz's recruits qualify... Plus you have this from him (today's rivals).
Robinson is now focused on his grades and a pair of all-star games coming up. Robinson believes he is on track in the classroom to qualify for Auburn.
"That won't be a problem at all actually, just to clear that up," said Robinson.

Who would you rather run between tackles for you in the BCSNCG - Tre Mason or Ware & Hilliard? That's what I'm saying. He is a speed & elusive back with a bright future that gets even brighter if he adds about 15 lbs.

I know. I argued all summer he was a scat back.

You also said blakely was a scat back

FSU and Bama wouldn't have completely stopped recruiting him for no reason, especially when he he had his mind made up to go to Bama.
Don't always believe what a recruit says. Seems like there's a great example of this, but I can't recall ATM...

I seem to remember Kerry Murphy said he had his shite in line twice when he didnt.
Posted on 12/19/11 at 11:26 am to TreyAnastasio
yeah... a rectruit is usually the WORST person to talk to when it comes to qualifying or not...
put it this way... has anyone ever heard a recruit say he wasn't gonna qualify?

I understand that, but at this time, I believe (HOPE) he qualifies and we have nothing else to go on. My point being, why assume he will not qualify?
Comparing athletic ability, this guy is in the same class as Yeldon.. Both can play in the SEC.. I was surprised that both committed...
Robinson is a big back with very good balance and great instincts. He is a great cut-back runner, he feels the defenses, he sets up defenders well, and he runs through a lot of arm tackles. He is not a speed guy and not someone that will make a lot of 80 yard plus runs, but he is a downhill runner, a durable back, and someone that knows how to hit the hole. He is a little better at changing direction than most think too. - Chad Simmons

I'm not assuming he won't qualify. I'm also not assuming he will. By all accounts, he has work to do. I'm sure he'll get in the classroom & do what it takes. However, the fact that he's a qualifying risk means that you can't count on it like you could have TJ (an EE who already has the grades).

I agree. Hart isn't going anywhere. He jumped past Demetrius Goode and Jalston Fowler in a couple months. He was already #3 on the depth chart behind Richardson and Lacy. He will get his carries and he can run in between the tackles, unlike many people think.

Personally, I think Kenyan Drake is a better RB prospect than Yeldon....although Yeldon may be more prepared to contribute during the 2012 season...especially with his enrolling in January.
Time will tell but I've seen both play in person and Drake is the more explosive, dynamic, faster player of the two.

I have even heard that Yeldon may be better suited for Dback..

Initial evaluation was that he has the tools needed to be an NFL caliber DB. However, I think more and more coaches have come around to seeing him as an elite RB based on film study, etc. He'll play RB at Bama. Drake probably will too, but he might move to DB.
