I was probably least excited about Gooch. His weight is a problem. A lot of coaches don’t seem to be too concerned though

That said — we needed him. Crum is fine

I believe the talk on Gooch semi recently was that he had lost a bunch of weight or am I remembering that wrong?

Its not that I think Crum is BAD. I just don't think he's very good either.. He's project that MIGHT see the field junior/senior year. I watched the whole game PV had against HT and while he didn't really get beat or or pushed back, he also didn't have any push at all. For a guy his size he should be way stronger and way more physical than he is. In addition to getting no push that game he also didn't have a very good initial punch. I realize some of those things can be coached up, but I think he has a LONG way to go before he would even come close to seeing the field for us.

Honestly after I watched him it made me really want to go back and watch Orr.. Still haven't done it, but he must really need a lot of work to have Crum over him.
