Samuel was a true DGD
No doubt but the reason he was moved to LB was because he wasn't gonna get any PT at RB and he eventually didn't get much at LB.Hell,he was beaten out by walk-on FB his Sr year.Sorry,he may have been a 5 star guy but he just didn't have the athletic ability to compete at a high level.
Injuries also played a part in his lack of production.

To me, his biggest issue was he was 2 years younger than people in the same grade level. If he had those two years he would have been even better.

The sewers overflow all over campus when it drizzles and the place smells like shite.
I think it's a little more than my opinion...

Never really thought much about that.Yea,I believe he was 16 when he enrolled and it seems like most incoming guys are 18 and 19. Coulda played a part in his lack of development.

I don't think his age had anything to do with his lack of natural skills at rb.

Please, he was already 2-3 years behind his peers not to mention he really didn't get any coaching until he went to Georgia.

Sounds like good coaching to me. Would you prefer we have a walk-on at LB and a 4* as #3 TB?

Mark Richt is the reason your expectations are so high.

If that walk-on has actually played LB and knows what he's doing, I'd prefer that over shoehorning the 4* RB that has never played the position into that role just because he's a better overall athlete.
And you might say good coaching but really it's a quick fix to cover up the piss poor roster management that plagued much of Richt's time at UGA

IN fairness, didn't Samuel play LB in High School? It's not like it was a position he had to learn from scratch.
Don't get me wrong...I understand there is a world of difference in High School and College (ESPECIALLY the SEC) but it's not like he was a blank slate.

This is probably closer to the truth. Or, just a guess...it could have been the staff saw he was not going to make it as a RB and decided to try to move him where he might flourish and win a job. Who know, really? I certainly don't. Coaches typically don't just willy nilly move kids around to new positions, though.

He was 1 year ahead in school but he never had natural rb skills that cannot be coached. Being 2 years behind wouldn't have changed that

You're talking about 3-4 years extra of coaching. Natural skills can be improved.
Posted on 1/13/16 at 5:56 pm to Porter Osborne Jr
Merk Richt is overrated. No significant accomplishments after Van Gorder was gone. Poor record vs top 10 teams. Usually finished ranked lower at the end of the year compared to the start of the year. Underperformed considering the talent he had. Will get fired at Miami in three years.

I don't think this is true but I could be wrong.

Maybe they can be improved upon to an extent if they exist. In this case, they never existed.

I could be wrong also but thinking in the last ten years under Richt we finished unranked in the coaches poll half the time. Finished unranked 2015, 13, 10, 09 and 06. Never unranked in preseason.
Posted on 1/14/16 at 1:54 pm to Buddy2012
Up until last a year or two ago, on average of Richt's tenure, we finished higher. Plus "normally" to me means most of the time, not half or sometimes.

They kept Golden around longer than that and he never had a team that would be considered anything more than mediocre

Two of the last three years under Richt we were ranked in the preseason top ten and finished unranked. Three of the last years finished higher than preseason. Some of the time Richt finished higher but not normally. I guess you can take out some of the recent years and add in the Van Gorder years but if he was as great as people say.....
