Going to be a pretty good signing class for the star gazers...

I kinda think there is a team or 2 out there that could possibly use him too ... but you're right about the internal demons he's chasing.

Wasn't one of the biggest strikes against jrob by the colts his pass protection? If you're a fringe NFL rb prospect, you better be able to pick up a blitz

That was always the excuse for why he didn't play here until his JR year. Of course that never stopped Holloway from playing although JRob probably had no interest in blocking while Holloway just didn't have the stature to block.

Yea, I don't think blocking is his favorite thing. I noticed Zeke does it pretty well. Combine that with Zeke's speed and there is some distance between the 2 backs.

I remember in 14 getting pissed at JRob during Bama game cause he gave a piss poor attempt at blocking one of their LBs that was bearing down on Dak. You could tell he didn't really want any part of the matchup. I think Dak either ended up getting sacked or threw an incomplete pass.

165 lb guy that is sticking his nose in there and trying, I'll admire the hell out of ... but he's still gonna get your QB killed. Same result either way.

Is Hev still getting labeled by NFL scouts because of the Derek Sharrod bust? Remember they ranted and raved about how good he was supposed to be then he went to the Packers and never got off the bench (kind of like all of the players OM sent to the league last year).

Thought DS was injury riddled

If I remember correctly, he actually got the starting nod and shortly thereafter blew out his knee. Never recovered back to pre injury form.

Broken leg during his rookie year. Broke his tibia and fibula and required surgery. Missed the entire next season because he couldn't perform right. Ended up with ankle problem from the break and surgery.

That's right. Broken leg. Not an "OM style bust" as R2S stated above, which was my main point.

Sorry. I didn't remember. I guess I was expecting to see him play for a long time. Is t be our last big time OL drafted?

[Turfdawg67]

Well we went pass happy because we were always behind the sticks. I don't think it was intentional. Dan needs to stay away from scatbacks. And I don't consider Josh a "small" back at 215 or whatever he was. Holloway at 150- too small.

But when we get a bigger running back it's interesting how we always go back to being run first.

We went pass happy because that was a prerequisite for Dak to return. A promise to get him ready for the NFL. Guess what, it worked!!

Bo Bounds is being ridiculous today. He's found the most obscure recruiting ranking that makes OM look good & is now referencing it saying that MSU has the 32 ranked class & OM the 38 ranked class.

On 247, MSU is 26th & OM 56th. Not close.

Not to mention, with Gay, Bowie, & Odom on the board, MSU likely finishes in the top 20

I think he was using espn rankings because he was talking to Luginbill this morning. I'm assuming because I don't look at espn rankings
