No crap. Every recruit w A torn up leg, arm, shoulder, & any other injury would commit to Auburn if that wasn't the case (James Andrews does his majic & the kid decommits)... However he could of done what Shell did....enroll & get it donefor 0.00. His parents aren't strapped for cash, so it means something....where you operate=where you recuperate. PT will be free & he can get it done w Marcus& Rico.

By the way.... Conway, hope you aren't mistaking me for someone who stole part of my handle. You.are better than that, & I while I've been busy& haven't been on in a while, I still know a thing or two.

If we don't land a WR, it is not going to kill us. Shamir needs to grow up, if that happens, we have an absolute stable....check the roster bc most of them are young & Shaq will have a break out Soph year....bet on it.

for sure, has Mr. Football failed us yet? no, they've all been the best players on our team.

[Acockolypse Now]

Yeah, what's up with the fake ElCid?

That threw me.

There's something I don't understand about "not learning the playbook". When Bruce decided to play football during the Spring of 2011, he couldn't practice because of the rules, but he studied the playbook and by the time the season rolled around, he was playing a good bit and was a contributor during the 2011 season. Shaq has only been here since late summer so he has somewhat of an excuse, but Shamir has been here 2 years. Something just doesn't add up with him. I'm not sure it has anything to do with "not learning the playbook".

I have read that Shamier is not yet displaying the work ethic to earn PT.

One thing in our favor for Matt is that we are proving that we can send kids at all defensive positions to the NFL, CBs, DEs, and LBs. I think that he was not flipped by FLA during his visit is a good sign for us.

Deciding your future is a tough decision for all 18 year olds. You can't fault a kid for wanting to be sure, especially considering his injury. I think in the end he will see that he can be a Superstar at SC or just another joe at Florida.

That's amazing considering Alshon worked very hard even after practice trying to learn and get better at running routes. I hope he figures it out.

And what if he doesn't?

[MillerTime843]

You can tell Shamier doesn't have a drive and determination as his brother did.

If SOS doesn't think he is giving 100%, he can take his scholarship.....I'm not saying he will, but he can.

Spurrier JR said he has played DL Moore over Roland a lot this season b/c DL Moore is a good downfield blocking WR. Roland knows the playbook by now, thats not the issue. He just needs an of season to get bigger and stronger. I don't think Roland is a very good down field blocker yet. People thought he was going to fill Alshon Jefferys shoes in his freshman year and had very high expectations for him, but Roland is not as physically dominating as Jeffery.

This has as much to do w/ it as anything. Amazing that Nick Jones became relevant in the passing game again once DT was in. Wonder why that was?

I'm with you bro. Not putting down CS, but I really believe DT gives us a better chance to win against good teams.

I've been all over CS in the discussion thread, (probably to an extreme) but players like JaQuay and Taj and whoever else want to be in an offense that they're involved in. This year was not a banner year for WR involvement at Carolina. Hopefully CS can spread it around more or DT can get his shot.

The staff addressed his concerns Monday, & if he enrolls @ UF, I'll kiss my own a @@.

The dude wants early pt...we have zero, excluding Cooper, LB s who have sniffed the field. He will not only have the opportunity, he will neeed to play early here.

My final post regarding Rolin...can't wait for USC_9 to wear the G&B.

My point was that he had been back and forth on who was going to do his surgery. Up until 2 weeks ago a local Doctor in Virginia was going to do it. South Carolina is the one who was pushing for Dr Guy to do it not the Rolins. Dr Guy is a great Dr without a doubt but that was not the factor on why the kid was going to sign with USC which was my point. With that said we can respectively disagree.

[mike1520]

Carl said he didn't know how to react to Gus being hired. He said this pick was a fan favorite but if the still suck the move wouldn't amount to much. To me that sounds like some other programs have his ear.

& we shall...it is nice to have your surgeon in the same town you will rehab in w Latti & Rico to keep you motivated. At any rate, the kid will be an EE & he will destroy RBs & QB s in the years to come.
