RBs are difference makers in college. There is no debating this. Grump is putting an opposing fan spin on this. This is good news for UGA (the favorite to win the East) and all of the other teams on UK’s schedule. And, not good for Levis, if true. Will is a huge beneficiary of CRod’s ability to move piles and the sticks.
No idea if meant for me but I never once claimed to have a single source. I merely stated I know people in the legal system who have heard rumors of what is going on. Knowing a lawyer is not the same as claiming to have sources. Also why I am not divulging exactly what I was told as I have no idea if it is true or not. Another poster eluded to JR divulging that it wasn’t good, what I heard wasn’t good and would be a federal issue which would certainly end his college career. Uk did cut ties with javon baker whom it was shared with me was also involved. I don’t know that baker was involved but UK did cut ties with him for certain.
I think you're seeing things from a UGA perspective....UK ain't playing at that level. Schools like you have better WR, TE, QBs, etc...you have a more complete squad. And playing in the playoffs, etc...you have to have well rounded teams and in particular really good passing offenses.
I’ve never disagreed with you more . . . . . nor hoped as much that you are right.
We would definitely be a better team with CRod.
Point to any of my posts that says I have sources. I’ll save you the trouble, I never claimed to have a source. I do know lawyers who have heard “rumors” about what the issue is and what was shared with me. Since they are “rumors” and not substantiated I’m not going to divulge what I heard. I did give you a hint, if true, it’s a federal issue. If you can’t respect someone for not divulging an unsubstantiated rumor that’s your problem not mine.
I’d say you’ll see us throw to the backs more in 2nd and 6, 3rd and 4 situations. I’d imagine without CRod, the summer will be spent working on the outside zone which is a good fit for Smoke and even better for McClain and we’ll see more of Wright in the power game and change of pace. Someone mentioned the tackle situation which is a concern but I don’t think nearly as much as it would be if we were strictly an inside running team.
I appreciate your info and how you’re handling it. Understandably lots of speculation going on but everyone seems to be in agreement that we’ll probably be without CRod so all we can do is to scheme around him with what we have. The thing that bothers me most about the situation is how these kids seem to feel invincible and untouchable anymore, not just athletes but in general. Just hate to see him or anyone throw a career away if it comes to that.
At our level any skill player who puts up CROD numbers is vitally important. A RB like him may not win us a title, but it does get us to 10 win seasons. That's a REALLY big deal.
It's not you man, its this vague speculation with a likely horrible ending about a player who is vitally important to us. It's driving us nuts. No one wants you to divulge too much, we just REALLY want to know what's going on so we can wrap our heads around it.
Hope you are right about the Tackle spots. Being inexpierenced at both Tackles is a concern for me. Don't need Levis getting slaughtered early in the year.
Does anyone know what the other issues are besides the DUI?
Could Kentucky Football Be Without One Of Its Biggest Weapons?
There have been some rumblings recently surrounding the University of Kentucky football program. Not the good kind of rumblings, like the possible commitment of a high profile recruit, but the kind that no one wants to hear about their team. Those rumblings seem to indicate their is a very real...www.catscoverage.com
It's funny a man that's a fan of a team who's offenses have been wholly carried by RB's for the entire tenure of his current head coach says RBs don't matter.
@Grumpyolddawg is a highly respected poster here and I'm glad he's active on our board. I usually agree with him but he's off base on this one.
Can you at least say if the rumor you heard is around an incident that would have a victim or an incident that’s like financial or drug offense? I know you’re not saying it’s gospel
Neither of those. If what I heard has any truth to it, it is just being caught up in something he had no business being in.
Ok well glad to hear the rumor isn’t about actions that were intended to hurt someone. Will be interested when more details emerge. Thanks.
Any posts that says you heard something from someone that you are relaying as informationwould suffice as to you claiming to have a source. By definition, they are the person you got the information relayed from, which makes them your SOURCE of that information. Their occupation isn't relevant.
BS. Everyone on this board knows people so from that standpoint the whole global population are sources. A source is someone who you know has direct knowledge of a situation or people close enough to things to know the real story. I have never claimed to know the real story, rather shared I was told what someone had heard (a rumor). No idea if any truth to the rumor at all. Having a source with reliable information is far different than what I have shared here. Maybe we can just agree to disagree what a source is. It’s not relevant either way. Hoping no truth to it and CRod is good to go next year.
Not at all. A source is literally a source of information. In your case, the lawyer is your source of the information you're relaying.

Yes.
I don't disagree with you often, but I have to disagree here. Just watched our bowl game and spring game and he is a difference maker. MVP of the bowl game (although I thought Wandale deserved it) and looked great again in the spring game, receiving too. Of course Levis will have a much bigger part to play, QBs usually do. We would definitely miss him if he can't play, and I am not surprised at anything the clowns running our athletic department do.
CRod isn't like most backs. He doesn't get a high average per carry because he breaks long runs and then takes a loss on the next carry. The reason he is so valuable is that he basically never loses yards. What makes him valuable is the high number of 2nd and short that UK gets because of him.
When is the last time a balanced attack won a NC? Having both is a big advantage.
What do you want them to do? Put something out that may be sensitive to someone or active investigation or something? Or worse not all information is available, and the kids reputation is trashed before guilt is know. There is some responsibility in holding onto info until the right time.
Bingo....this guys gets it.
