I will say this, Earnest got way overrated last year. He was suppose to be a top 5 player in the state and one of the top WRs in the southeast. Come this year, he's not either of those things. There is a lot of belief he's not even the best WR in the state.

I'd definitely give him a look at H-Back. He's nothing rare at WR, he may run a 4.48, but he sure doesn't show it. I could see the possibility of Bama trying to recruit him there before they cancelled. They probably got great enough vibes from Howard and McNeil to cancel any backup plans...

Too slow


4.48 is too slow for a player?

I've also heard he has some off the field issues.


Are you making up stuff now?

Per his Head Coach:

quote:

Glover said Robinson is a well-behaved young man in the classroom and community.

“He’s a yes sir, no sir kid,” he said. “He’s been to my house numerous times. My wife loves him. He calls her momma. He’s a great kid and has good parents.

“...He’s well liked by everybody.”


quote:

not a great blocker


I haven't seen, read, or heard anything on his blocking abilty, but with his body like it is, it's hard to believe his physicality wouldn't translate to blocking on the field.

quote:

and doesn't run great routes


There aren't many wide receivers, coming out of High School, that know how to run all routes. They all need coaching. I'm sure he needs things touched up. So will Eddie Williams, JaQuay Williams, RiCardo Louis, Chris Black, etc.

By all accounts, his hands and acrobatic catching abilty make him the prospect he is. Just look at his first catch on this highlight film (I don't know what the frick happened with the rest of the video, it just went fuzzy). And I am fully aware that he was called out of bounds on that play. I also threw in a second LINK of some more catches.

Would be a huge pickup considering that our OL depth is ......well, hideous.


I like our interior depth. It's the tackles that scare me.

Heard Robinson is in a gang, beats women, and hates football. Scrub, he'll be at south alabama in 3 years.

Analyze That...ask the guys in the Dawgs recruiting thread....they were talking about him yesterday.
They had some info about him... thinking he might choose football if he didn't go in first round.


Buxton is a UGA baseball commit. Obviously not coming to UGA now...

His coach knows him better than anyone on here, why not listen to what he has to say? He's only around him all the time.

BIG mistake taking McLeod over Josh Dobbs. Take it from someone who has seen them both play. McLeod is "solid" but if he were SEC-level good, Walton would have won the State Championship as Grayson played 10 in the Box to stop Tyren Jones because they knew McLeod couldn't beat them.



I guess we hired the wrong OC to replace Jim McElwain.

Because he's not objective. The coach is always gonna lobby for the kid, no matter if he's trash or a good kid. What do you expect him to say? pretty obvious.

Coaches never trash their players publicly. At least coaches who aren't morbidly obese with a major foot fetish.

I have seen a lot of insider types say that a major reason we told Robinson not to come to our camp was the fact that he has some serious character issues.

Give me an idea. Yunel Escobar or Nyger Morgan type character issues?
