AUpreacherman22 3,899 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Based on the info we have received from several sources, the "Star" position had little if anything to do with why re chose bama. It was merely the excuse that was spread publicly. There is a connection between the 2 highly rated LBs from AHS the last 2 years. I hope our coaching staff and administration is doing something about it now. It has already been discussed and doesn't need to be discussed any further in a thread about Roquan Smith. He seems to be a great athlete. I would like to see him in O & B in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here are making a mistake on the "Star" position if you are referring to, and I hate to bring this name up, Evans. Not the reason he went to uat. People close to AU think we have a little lead for Smith. And AU is recruiting Smith harder than any other school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People close to AU think we have a little lead for Smith. And AU is recruiting Smith harder than any other school. I did say among other reasons. If you truly believe the position he will play at the next level wasn't a big part of the decision then these conspiracy theories have clouded a bit of your judgement. Beyond the perceived hatred for AU by his dad and the Trooper/Rueben involvement, the player ultimately wants to get to the NFL and make millions of dollars. The position he would play makes a big difference. At the end of the day that is the ultimate goal. The other stuff may have very well happened and I'm not disputing that. Frankly I really don't care but to "change the name of the position" because of that guy is ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did leave the state but there is still this thing called a phone. There is also this other guy who will continue to live in and amongst the city. I like the concept of our staff being aware and "doing something about it" moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It doesn't matter what we call the position. We lost one recruit because he wanted to "rush the passer" along with other issues. The Star is expected to be a jack of all trades. He is expected to be in the limelight and make plays. He is asked to make sacks, interceptions, tackles, pass breakups and shut down vital interior offensive weapons (i.e. TE's, RB's, Slots). That is a tall task and takes a special talent. Our staff will find the right guy for the job. The recruit who didn't want that job basically said I don't want to work on my weakness. I'm okay with not having that guy on my team. This guy always comes to mind for me when I think of someone who'd rock the Star position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Keith is just reading the tea leaves, and I agree ATP. With us leading for Holland, it changes the whole complexion of Roquan's recruitment. He likes us a lot, but UGA is all-out for him right now. And well they should be, they are getting their clock cleaned in state. If they don't get Smith, Thompson and Godwin, there could be mutiny in Athens.

Potatooooooes!! 1,375 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well, to me, that makes sense since Florida State has been at the top of their conference for a few years now, while Georgia hasn't. In fact, Georgia is at the bottom of the top of the league, if that makes sense. Plus, if you ask me, Florida State's campus is way nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
