It doesn’t matter. Talent is talent. This was his first year at the position and it wasn’t like there was stellar QB play but I see u on the good riddance trip. At the end of the day he is a young man that made a mistake and hopes he learn from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hines Ward , Cobb , Edelman and Logan Thomas to name a few But all of those players were college qbs and made the transition in the NFL or late in college. I think in the recent years the putting the best athlete at qb has been reduced at the high school level, but it still holds validity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For wide outs, sign kids who can run routes and catch the ball vs kids that are athletic and play QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, tank didn't even show up for the first two bowl practices so... There's got to be a pretty significant catalyst for this dismissal.

Finance and Tech guy are different professions. He is a football player still playing footballl on the offensive side nonetheless.

tigerman1186 537 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Don't know for sure, but I'm sure it was a combination of 'things' that precipitated the decision by the coach and staff...wish him the best... he was a 'natural' wide receiver...

ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Well we do have JT-FLo coming in-- not sure his position or identity but that could be a silver lining. Sorry I couldn't help myself. Damnit Kobe what did you do? We must know now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbird 60,512 Posted January 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2022 Out of every disappointment comes an opportunity. I hope Kobe uses this disappointment to grow and he achieves all his dreams. For those receivers still fighting for Auburn, I hope you seize the opportunity before you and take advantage of the new opening. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUght2win 6,833 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 This sucks. Like, really sucks. Dude had a TD catch in our last 3 games. Kobe was blossoming near the end of the year with some crazy catches, and had the best hands in the group. What is going on. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,833 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Here's what I don't get. Harsin has made it clear, *especially* with the receiver group, that you earn reps not primarily through talent, but with buy-in and practice effort. Kobe played as much as an WR down the stretch. So he must have been in good standing until recently. Wonder what he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabitualChiller 109 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I really hope that we hit on recruiting this year. With us having to play Bama, UGA and LSU every year with the two former being the best two programs in the nation, and the latter being practically guaranteed to get at least close to that level, we could be looking at some ugly years in the very near future. That's not even mentioning potentially having to play one of either Texas or Oklahoma on a yearly basis. Imagine the recruiting classes that they'd be able to bring in via NIL deals with their alumni and booster support AND the draw of playing in the best conference...
