NoALtiger 3,849 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Although he has played a good deal of ball and is a grad transfer, I can't see him helping out week 1. I do think his experience will get him on the field quicker than others would be in his position. Organized chaos as usual on the Plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman87 398 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 A new DB with no practice going in against a very good QB sounds like a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just want 'fact' on this guy. Wishful thinking. Yea... "facts" on a college football player are few and far between. It's like sitting down with a famous person and running down a list of stories that you've read about them. About 20% are kind of true and about 1% are completely true. Most of it is because no one really knows and the rest is because the school can't legally say if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Tate just said on the bunker that Taylor had a concussion.

cole256 17,042 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 But depth is the concern so I think we can get through the first few games because it's the beginning of the season he'd be more needed as we get into this. And that's only if he's actually good. But yeah wish Tim was still here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I also heard it was a concussion and now with the new rules ( even though it was not on a football field) it would require a doctor to sign off before he could returnto practice. Thus the waiting time and the unknown date of return. His experience even on the sideline could go far with younger guys. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other news bits have indicated that there was a girl involved as well. I've yet to hear any details beyond that. Jovon stated that he was being wrongfully blamed for the Marshall fight. everyone is nibbling around the truth but the hammer hasn't found the nail...just put it this way...good riddance Jovon...

Even if he isn't quite ready to contribute by Week 1, he will be shortly bc of the reasons that bird pointed out. Glad he's back to provide much needed experienced depth since Dean went down.

AUsince72 11,084 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 As I see it, the team shouldn't need too much depth in game 1 (fresh team after all)...or even 2 for that matter (Arky St.). But perhaps, by Texas A&M, after 4 weeks of practice, he'll be ready to contribute and then be much needed depth later in the year as the inevitable bumps & bruises start to mount up. I don't put too much worry into the pre-season practice he's missed. If he's any good at all, he'll be a welcome addition when he's truly needed. War Eagle!

passthebiscuits 6,844 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Rumor rules are difficult but are there for a reason. Maybe it would help to offer this quip that may or may not apply to this situation: If a player suffers a head injury (not necessarily a loss of conciousness), then the player has to be completely without symptoms (headache, dizziness, nausea, vision change, etc) for AT LEAST 48 hrs before resuming any activity...and must be cleared by the staff before resuming contact. In these kinds of cases, the usual hold out period is usually two weeks. There are exceptions but this is the norm for our current staff. Hope this helps and I'm glad he's back. I look to him contributing soon. We need the depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Guys what about school? Has he been going to class? I mean I know he is a grad transfer but don't they still have class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Does anyone know? I have genuinely been concerned with this. I was hoping for Countess type leadership from this 5th year guy. But if he hasn't been going to class... Its been almost s couple decades since I was in school, but can't you be dropped from missing the 1st day of class? Or does he even have class as a graduate transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 If he was on concussion protocol, I would think the absences would be excused (medical) and his professors would have to work with him to get caught up in classes. As a Grad student, I believe you need at least 9 hours of class to be full-time (at least it was like that way back when I was in grad school).

No unless the student does it & AU never had that policy. 2. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
