ShocksMyBrain 9,389 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 another factor is money. as I understand it, he is not hurting for that due to some inheritance he received from his father. he knows another year will impact him positively for the next draft, and he won't struggle financially in doing so. just my two cents. His father was unlawfully murdered by Memphis police, so he got a substantial insurance/lawsuit payment. Fwiw. Totally didn't know that piece of information. From a USA Today article: In 2002, Memphis police wrongly shot Jeffrey Robinson as part of a botched drug raid, then planted evidence to cover it up. The family ultimately received more than $1 million split amongst his five children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaitopher 807 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Shocking, the police murder someone and then try to cover it up. And I bet no officer go indicted for it either. Oh wait....wrong thread...continue on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 FWIW... A coworker of mine, who works with Jovon's girlfriend at his second job, was telling my manager and I about how the Girlfriend has been trying to "help" Jovon apply himself, be less laissez-faire and stop getting in the doghouse with the coaching staff. Seeing how the conversation was very much present-tense in tone, I would speculate that Jovon has no intentions of leaving. So there... you heard it from the guy, who heard it from a guy, who heard it from the girl who dates Jovon Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my coworker put it, Jovon "goes from 0 to 100... real quick" so you're right hopefully he starts the next year with the same passion he showed to NSD a couple years back.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think Jovon could be a Heisman Trophy finalist for 2016 and could very well lead the SEC in rushing yards. One more good season would possibly make him a 1st round pick. His upside is excellent and he will be another member of "Running Back U" I do not need some guru to back this up. What I saw this season was one heck of a good RB that will help us to compete for the SEC title and a final 4 team and who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCTAU 3,355 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 IF this coaching staff commits to JR, he could come out of the gates making waves. JR seems to be a bit different than some of the past JUCO transfers with his relationship with the coaches. And we know Malzhan sometimes tries to prove a point. But there comes a time when you just let a guy play. Back in the day, Brent Fullwood hardly even practiced. He rode on the stationary bike all practice. Come game time, Dye did not try to prove a point. He turned him loose. Sometimes you gotta see that something different in a guy and go against your feeling. Nobody hated Brent, they appreciated the game day talent. And he stayed healthy for the game. I don't see this as the same situation, but I do see JR as having that potential. He's really good for his size. We could ride him as long as he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'd love to Jovon and Peyton in the same backfield again next year. I hope Roc stays at Auburn too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just has to get to the point where he's ready to commit 100% to the team. He seems to be getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
