... he would not still be here were he not a legacy player, Alshon's little brother. Not that he has done anything bad, but rather he's simply not a D1 player.



That's a shame because all I heard of him through the recruiting cycle was how he actually looked notably better than Alshon in high school.

Wasn't that just "mom speak", though?

I remember seeing some of that posted here and there and about ... but it was pretty well-known that he was not going to be another Alshon. It was hoped he would just be solid and dependable.

He was a promise kept which, at the time, seemed like a good gamble. He was actually known for being faster and a harder worker than Alshon. He's never been known for having soft hands, running sharp routes or having great leaping ability.

Still yet, SJ has not been a great disappointment whereas Shaq Roland has (been a great disappointment) IMHO.

Nick Jones has exceeded expectations and so has Byrd.

Remember what the Internet experts were saying about Jones when he was signed ... or rather, why he was signed.
