As time goes on I've grown to like this guy a lot more than my first impression. Still love Ty Dye but I don't think we go wrong with either back, or better yet... both!

Wilkins seems to be slightly ahead of Dye right now, but truthfully it's whichever one pulls the trigger first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTiger2012 84 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Sounds to me like Michigan is going to be tough to beat for this kid, but I do like him, I think the fact that he will likely get redshirted, and get plenty of reps with the scout team against what looks to be a good first team defense, along with our Strength and Conditioning Coaches, I look for this kid to really be a power from the backfield should we get him.

I believe he was told he could play next year if he's ready Ahhh the magic words. EVERY recruit can play if they are ready, but at least our coaches are honest and don't say "You will play next year" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTiger2012 84 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Well, IF we had truly needed it that badly, Westerman and Robinson would have played last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger2012 84 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 To be totally honest, I feel like Robinson and Westerman would not have really helped much in the games we lost other than maybe Clemson and Arkansas, but GA, LSU, and UAT the outcome would most likely have been the same with or without them. Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect they should have and the coaches realize they made a mistake there. I can't agree with that. Last year was a rebuilding year, nothing more, nothing less. Both of those guys needed the year of conditioning, not to mention some time spent learning their place (i.e. no bigger than the team). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what better time to get two inexperienced, but extremely talented, OL some PT to prepare them to protect a young QB than when you are in a rebuilding year. We now risk having two rebuilding years if it takes our OL several weeks to gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcivE09 582 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I know its off the topic of Wilkins but I think Westerman needed a redshirt year to build up his body. Robinson may have been ready but the redshirt year will do them both well and Ill take having both of these guys for the next 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be lucky to have Greg for 3 more years if he plays up to his potential. Fortunately we recruited the tackle position VERY well last year.

We now risk having two rebuilding years if it takes our OL several weeks to gel. If they weren't ready then you run the risk of demoralizing them to the point that it affects their potential. Westerman did need a redshirt year, and Robinson may or may not have been any better. Plus we did have a couple of seniors who likely did at least as well as the two true freshmen would have. I do understand your point, and to an extent at least I agree with it, but I think this coaching staff has earned the right to do things their own way.

Tiger Scout 92 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I agree they know whether a player is ready or not. They do this for a living and every player is begging to play. every choice they make could be debated but they call them as they see them.
