From a coaches point of view, the smart thing to do with RR would be to RS him. We have enough talent at CB to have him RS.


Not necessarily. With guys like him(who has practiced with NFL players), They'll find a way onto the field through S/T. Also he could stretch his legs against Furman with Tre-White for the whole second half.

Some of these kids come in and it just clicks. I played quarterback and outside linebacker in high school, had a kid come in and he was a basketball star. He hadnt played football ever in his life. This kid came in when i was a three year starter in 4a and he was only a sophomore. This kid almost took my spot by week 2 and i wasnt exactly bad..

So, what he did against NFL WRs in shorts and t shirt at Patrick Petersons camp for kids means he ready to play?? You really think those NFL WRs were going balls to the wall??

And thats what im trying to say. There is no reason to waste a year of eligibility on RR, considering his situation. Hes not even on campus yet and we play this saturday. So he wont be ready to play by around week 8. So you waste an entire year of eligibility for RR just to let him play a few weeks on Special Teams, which would be sparingly, and to strech his legs against Furman?? Not the smart thing to do.

And again, we already have enough talent at CB this year. Its not like RR was going to come in and be our full time starter at CB. We dont even know what type of player he is. We think he could potentially be a great 1. But, he hasnt even had a college practice. Hasnt had to tackle an SEC RB or shed a block against an SEC OL. And considering hes about 170lbs, he could use this year to bulk up, get the playbook down, and get acclimated to playing against SEC type players in practice.
