@bigbirdand I were the founding members of Gatewood to TE Club.

Joiner had zero chance to be a successful RB and was way to afraid of contact to play another position.  I never saw another rb run as upright as he did.  Was a terrible signing.

I wouldn't say terrible, maybe as a RB though.  He could've been an ideal joker TE like Clay of Hernandez.

Was rated highly tho! Last staff loved those types of guys.

That was always my issue with them.  They recruited great athletes and guys that liked to play football, they didn’t focus on if guys loved and wanted to be great at football as a criteria.

Other people did too apparently, constantly citing the highly rated recruiting classes

Definitely ran upright. Averaged 7.8 ypc on his 12 carries his last year at AU, though.

No disrespect but that is a terrible example. Gatewood is no Fullwood as far as talent

Exactly. Nor was the guy who started over him any superstar qb....i believe the kid who started over Gatewood played division one but was not some superstar. Not a good comparison. The Cam comparison isnt good either imo because he was a really good starting highschool qb. Not a guy who split time. If you cant be the man in highschool, unless your sitting behind some future division one star, it ain't likely your just gonna become some stud in college where theres a massive talent gap between highschool.
