Yes, because his ypc out of the backfield have shown him to be pretty shitty.

What I was referring to was RS10 being so dominant in high school as a dual threat QB and his highlights were nice...well deserving of 5*'s

The guy I responded to said the rankings could have been off....I was saying that they were not off. Thanks but no thanks...

Read your post wrong. Thought you were being a smart arse and running with the whole "high school performance doesn't matter" thing and was agreeing with guy above you. Don't taze me bro...

Greg Robinson made a huge mistake going to auburn


By being a 3 or 4 year starter and LT in the SEC, and probably drafted high in the NFL?

Being a starter in the SEC and being drafted in the NFL are two totally different things.

If he isn't being developed and showcased, then I hope he gets a great degree at whatever school he is at.

Plenty of offensive linemen who played considerable minutes in the SEC including starting for 3 years and never did squat in the NFL. Herman Johnson comes to mind.

Trevon was no big loss according to the primary coach who was recruiting him at the time. He thought Trevon was highly overrated, and it has shown since he has been at AU...

When a player leaves a state to play elsewhere, two things can happen. If he plays or behaves well out of state, doors can open in that state. However if he gets injured or simply doesn't pan out, he will be a nobody in that state, as well as in his home state.

In either case, if he chooses to return home after playing out of state, his lifelong notoriety will not be what it could have been had he played in his home state.

As someone in Louisiana who can help others with employment, I must ask who are Trovon Reed and Greg Robinson? I hope they enjoy Alabama.

No
By being a starter at a program in a shambles, by facing a potential HC/staff change in his second year at a school or at the very least a new OC and another system

New HCs, OCs and position coaches don't always work out too well for returning players

If he was at LSU he would be getting reps and have stability for his time here at a top ten program

Being a starter is bad? We have talent, just a simple lack of coaching and control by our staff. We are a hire away from winning 7-8 wins again. Auburn isn't Vandy, Ole Miss, or Kentucky. We don't stay down for long. In fact, when was the last time we had 2 consecutive losing seasons?

Ahh, an assumption.

What exactly are you trying to say here? There's no questioning Greg Robinson's ability. He'll be on the freshman All-SEC team for sure, with a shot at being on the All-American list for freshmen.

Who wouldn't want to coach him? And I don't even want to hear, "he might not want, or like, to play for another coach." There's absolutely no reason to even assume something like that.

I'm sure he likes starting more than getting reps. And like I said, Auburn won't be down long.

Lee Ziemba is a perfect example. Started as a true freshman on a pretty good SEC team and then started as a true sophomore on a terrible Auburn team. All it took was 2 seasons for Auburn to return the prominence and go to the BCSNCG (and I am in no way saying that will happen with Greg Robinson).

Greg Robinson is a lock to be drafted high unless he faces some type of severe injury.

What I am trying to say is auburn is a fricked up program

So he is playing for a bad coach and a bad program and he could damage his prospects for the NFL just being surrounded by shite and getting covered in the stink

So I am sure Robinson is not very happy that the coach he signed to play for is about to get fired and he has no idea who is going to be his HC or his position coach for two years

That is the essence of what I was saying

Enjoy your Dec 2 AD and HC firing.
ALL IN and stuff

So you are saying Robinson has a chance to be one of the last players selected, get immediately waived, then spend his whole career on IR for the worst team in the league? You're right, that is special.

No, it won't damage his prospects at all. Guys from bad teams get drafted all the time. Not as many as from good teams of course, but that's because bad teams tend to have fewer good players.

The best NFL player from LSU in the last 20 years was recruited by Curley Hallman. Do you think Lou Tepper was a bad coach? He coached Simeon Rice and Kevin Hardy who were the #2 and 3 picks in the NFL drafy. 2 guy's coached by Ron Zook were drafted in the first round last year. A guy from Memphis was drafted in the first round last year.

Fans see things in extreme black and whites. Just because a team doesn't win, doesn't mean the coaches are bad at all aspects of coaching. Teaching basic technique, basic schemes, strength and conditioning can be good enough, even if the team sucks. The Pro scouts care more about physical skills and size/speed. Almost every year someone goes to the combine and blows up and gets drafted in the first round. It doesn't matter if his college coach sucked and got fired. If he has the natural ability, he will get drafted regardless. How he does on the other side is up to him.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but other than the pure and obvious bitterness that is crystal clear throughout the entire above post, what the frick lead you to that kind of conclusion?

I'll just mark you down as another bitter LSU fan who hated to see another in-state player go do well at another SEC school. I'd love to hear what you have to say about Trovon Reed, Kenny Bell, Eddie Lacy, Landon Collins, Ivan Robinson, Curtis Carter, Bradley Sylve, Floyd Raven, Denzel Duvall, Torshiro Davis, Otha Peters, Davante Bourque, Janzen Jackson, Darrington Sentimore, etc... I could go on, but you get the point.

I wish players, that leave the state of Alabama for another school, well unless they play Auburn. There's no reason for someone to find a way to hate a kid for not picking their favorite school.

This is one of the most idiotic posts I've ever read on Tigerdroppings. Just thought I'd let you know. Maybe you should look at some draft history and educate yourself.

Do you call him or message him on Facebook? Assumption is obviously an assumption.
