Damien Robinson...

[maroonmania]

Per the Daily Journal today he is intent on coming back for a 6th year if granted by the NCAA (and I can't see why it wouldn't be). Don't see him starting but he could certainly provide additional depth.

[engie]

They considered his injury "us losing another starter on the OL" back during the fall. If that was true, then we must also return another starter this year. Of course, this inverse scenario will never come to light...

He stays around much longer he and his son might get to play together on the same team.

The only problem I have with this is our scholarship count. Aren't we already crunching numbers?

I would assume he would have talked with the coaches about a scholly being there for him if he comes back. Not much use in applying for the 6th year without that assurance.

I'll take a co-starter at RT every day of the week and twice on sunday regardless of the numbers.

They'll find a way to make it work.

Any word on Hughes? I haven't been paying attention.

Jay is done. He never had any intentions on playing a 6th year.

If Dan wants him back we shouldnt really argue... Dan has zero problem in helping guys decide to move on if he needs them to for numbers.. Hes done it a few times. Remember Brandon Wilson had graduated and decided to take a job instead of play his senior year... If Dan wants him back hes good enough to take a spot

Also in order to get a sixth year you have to lose two seasons to injury. They don't just hand them out either.. You have to have documented injuries for two pretty much full seasons. So Jay Hughes was never coming back. That was all just internet legend. He red shirted because he wasn't ready and then missed a year to an Achilles. He doesn't qualify. Damien Robinson was hurt the year he red shirted (Knee MCL I think) and then missed last year with an ACL. So he is eligible. Another one Cedric Giles broke his hand after playing in a game or two his freshmen year so he red shirted. Then missed last year. So he will be a candidate if he wants to.

I'd take Robinson back in a heartbeat. No doubt that he could help add some depth at the tackle position.

I think he could apply though, if he wanted to. I was hoping he'd consider it. We need some veteran leadership back there.

I thought he was hurt and had to miss practice when he redshirted? if he practiced all year though like a normal RS, you're right.

Are you sure about that?

I looked it up and you are correct. I just learned something.

Hack, he gone!!! And thank goodness. Another year of terrible safety play is too much.

[state66]

He hasn't done anything in his 4 years on the field. What makes you think he will do something next year? Move on and use that scholarship on another offensive lineman. He won't do anything again next year where we could be using that scholarship to redshirt a better caliber athlete.

[MabenMaroon]

I am pretty sure he is in grad school, he would have to be from a fairly well to do family or lazy not to qualify for some sort of free ride in grad school. Don't see him needing to use a fb scholly.

I'm not sure anybody eats their own better than us.

Get out of here with that shit. Jay did well and had multiple injuries that never allowed him to come back fully.

He is a model student and citizen and was a good football player. His dad is the most important coach on our staff. Stfu

Agreed. For him to want to come back for a sixth means he will probably bust his ass and try and Win that starting job.. Win / Win whatever the outcome...
