January 25, 20196 yr I wonder if it is possible to have a utility type player these days in the vein of Charles Woodson was back in the 90s. Might we see this guy on offense and defense? Or are things too specialized now?

I was thinking the same thing.  Bru is that talented.  I thought that when he was a Trojan and I think that now that he's a Longhorn.  Great title M. Knight.

I mean we literally saw Jabril Peppers win a somewhat undeserved Heisman due to the multitude of positions he played a couple years ago, so yeah I'd say it is possible. Whittington would be a better fit for someone to do it but I don't think Whittington wants to, so yeah. Edited January 25, 20196 yr by TheFlyingBoat

Knight.  A couple years ago, Clemson was so crippled with injuries in the defensive backfield that WR Ray Ray McCloud, who played CB in high school, started working with the defense and played the majority of the game against NC State at CB. The problem is it takes reps away from the player's natural position, but McCloud was eager to help the team, and also show potential scouts his versatility. Bru is a more polished prospect than McCloud, so who knows?Â

January 25, 20196 yr If this works out, kind of odd how Kingsbury both screwed us and ultimately helped us.

January 25, 20196 yr Here's to him counting for 2019 just for the aggy tears!  Everything else is just gravy.

January 25, 20196 yr He’s already released form his LOI from USC He would need to apply for waiver from the NCAA to play in 2019 because he took a couple classes. Thats being said, wouldn’t be need to sign a LOI to Texas, and he would count towards the 2019 class regardless of the waiver?

Those Baylor guys who counted towards the class a few years ago didn't sign LOIs did they? I mean they couldn't have.
January 25, 20196 yr Huckleberry said it best in another thread, and many people have pointed out there's identical precedent with the Washington commit who transferred to bama last summer, and still counted in the class of 2018 for 'Bama. But as Huck pointed out: You're telling me a kid who is categorized in his HS class of 2019, who has been originally categorized in the 2019 recruiting class, and who will be on campus and taking classes in 2019 isn't going to be counted towards the 2019 class?

I thought most of then did, except Duverney, who couldn't because they committed NCAA violations recruiting him and couldn't have him sign one. But I could be wrong. Edited January 25, 20196 yr by SydneyCarton

We need to get that waiver, because he might not be here long enough for a redshirt to matter.

They didn't "forget." Kendall and another coach showed up at the Texas relays and visited Devin, and that was one visit too many. They "claimed" they forgot, but after realizing the committed an NCAA violation, the opted to simply not give him a NLI as opposed to reporting the violation. Then the plan was he would show up on campus the first day and they'd just have him sign his paperwork there, and everything would be hunky dory. Unfortunately, the Rape Factory was being exposed, and all their commits were having second thoughts and the fact that Duverney never signed shit means they couldn't DO shit with him. Not sure if that's the case with Donovan, but I think they just let him out because no one gave a shit about him on his own anyway. Edited January 25, 20196 yr by SydneyCarton

Yeah the way I remember it is that they submitted the other Duverney twice making Devin's LOI invalid as the time had passed and essentially free to sign anywhere. The others were eventually released from their LOIs but they never started classes at Baylor.

He and his family are appealing because SC lied (or at least didn't give them the full truth) to them about Kingsbury and Martin sticking around.

He's going to petition the NCAA for a waiver for immediate eligibility. The general consensus is that he'll get it considering the circumstances of his recruitment, but it's the NCAA.

Some LA-based talking head on SiriusXM said that he can't appeal because he was an actual student taking classes at SC on a football scholarship. Didn't make sense but all the other idiots said something like "Oh yeah" as if he knew the rules and the NCAA rules rarely make sense. Glad to know he's full of shit -I really am too lazy to go look up the rules and read them.
January 25, 20196 yr Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with the kid taking a redshirt year. We've got a fuck ton of WR already, and if his waiver gets denied he knows he's not going to any other school and starting either. Let him add 15 lbs of muscle and end up a fucking monster.Â

Might as well let McCoy RS and learn the offense instead of wasting a year with ~10-15 catches and 1 TD

But you're right, if his heart is truly set on WR, then not having him on the field next year wouldn't be as big a loss as one might think.
January 25, 20196 yr happy if we blow out opponents and allow him to get touches at least.... a luxury we did not have this past year
