You are speculating. He was a freshman so the notion that he wasnt hacking it at his current spot doesn't make any sense with it being his first year. Also he wasnt the only guy moved. C. Leary was moved there as well. Reggie Ragland was a starter and spent some of the spring at TE when he was here.


haha so you proved my point. You think if Leary didnt move to RB for a small while his outcome would be any different? And Reggie fits my example of sometime its not just about athletic ability. He obviously had more going for him then just that.

Most of these kids played multiple positions in HS so moving him around for a SHORT period of time isnt something out of the blue for them nor does it all the sudden stunt their growth at a single position. Hell Smitty worked at CB for a period of time as well, didnt seem to stop much of his growth at WR did it?

Listen...if i attend a school like Alabama. I want to play one position and one position only. Far to much talent coming in for me to be learning different positions. Most of the kids have a hard enough time learning the defense let alone learning a position on the opposite side of the ball. If you think that doesnt stunt ones growth it is what it is. I disagree.

Was that a serious position move, though? Seems like we do this from time to time, particularly during the spring, but it's not intended to be a permanent thing. More of a worst-case insurance policy than anything else ... or just a way to spice up a practice or two and keep things fun and interesting.

You have no idea what you talking about. I watched this kid in high school and he had “it”.

If you knew sports, reps are important.
