Hicks Still With Team

[Mikemarc]

Despite multiple reports he left the team.

Strange..but good news, nonetheless.

 

[jay_hq]

Talk about misleading thread title.

 

[RUsojo]

If he is expected to return after handling "personal reasons" why is it strange?

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

It is a joke that he was not a central part of the offense with Martin.

He is a great college player, shame on the new staff here.

 

[BlockR]

its possible he was one of RB's that this staff attempted to move over to DB/saftey in last week? and wasnt happy?????

 

[Ataylor1989x]

If he's expected to return, then there's no reason to be alarmed, is there? If someone has a family member with a crisis, they're probably not going to just go out and tell us.

The only thing to be alarmed about is how often people poorly choose thread titles on this board.

 

[rucoe89]

Well, that sucks if he doesn't return.

 

[needmorecowbell]

ugh

clickbait culture

 

[Mikemarc]

Thread title is fixed. Sorry for confusion. Let's wait for more info before we determine if we should be alarmed.

Clayton and now Hicks, 2 of the players the new staff needed to give playing time.

 

[Mikemarc]

Dunleavy has deleted thecrweet, and now says he jumped the gun and there's no news to report.

Again, very strange situation. Let's see what it's about.

Clayton and now Hicks, 2 of the players the new staff needed to give playing time.

Clayton was the starter going into summer camp. If he lost his spot, that is on him.

 

[BlockR]

again..some RBs have been tried at Saftey..not hard to figure..

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Please, Clayton and especially Hicks are very good college players.

Huge losses to the program

Appears Hicks hasn't left the team..though no news where he was today.

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

Time for another change to the thread title?

 

[BlockR]

Clayton was the starter going into summer camp. If he lost his spot, that is on him.

pretty funny post,since there is zero LB talent on team,first timers attempting to play linebacker in B10..cant just say ,"oh well thats on Clayton" when there are no backups..also Hicks, suddenly he should play defense?? Though..Flood did same..

Flood made a bold move by flipping Hicks to the defensive side of the ball. But after the sophomore’s performance, it’s clear Flood pushed just the right button.

Hicks was all over the field on defense, collecting six tackles, recovering a fumble and making a pivotal interception to end a scoring threat from Army midway through the fourth quarter.

The fourth-year head coach said after the game that he and Hicks had discussed the position change early in the week. Ultimately it paid off.

“It’s something Josh (Hicks) and I spoke about earlier in the year, but I didn’t think the timing was right,” Flood said. “I approached the thought again with him as we were getting ready for this game and looking at who would be available.”

How can you say Clayton is a very good player?

 

[BlockR]

Told Ya..Hicks to Saftey..and hes not doing back flips..

[Jtung230]

I sure hope Sneed is that good.

 

[DHajekRC84]

I thought he did a pretty darn good job there last year...

Where did you determine " and he's not doing back flips"?...Hicks did a great job filling in last year at DB...he's a very good athlete and
wants to play...sure running back is his # 1 choice but I think he's a team player since he arrived 4 years ago...don't think your accurate on this.

Clayton was not quick enough at DB....had tight hips...he was highly thought of by Ash and would have been starting again since Jones went down...I'm not going to knock Clayton but life is unfair many times ...he chose the "personal "reason excuse...wish him well at his next destination in Pennsylvania.

 

[cicero grimes]

With our luck one of our backs will miss time and Hicks will be shuffled back to RB. If you move him at least commit to keeping him there so he has a chance to learn the position and succeed. I would like to see Bailey come back to the WR group and remain there as well.

What is the next destination in Pennsylvania?

Temple?

Ash totally dropped the ball on this one.

 

[Ru-baby]

Hicks is the potential home run hitter of the two. (him and Martin). He should have WAY more carries.

 

[RUBOB72]

Ash totally dropped the ball on this one.

No, Najee Clayton abandoned the team ...Clayton took flight instead of choosing to fight for his spot...Ash is not going to pamper these players...no player is greater than the sum ...could have been a very good LB er.

 

[RUBOB72]

He's a homerun hitter IF our O-line blocks properly...all the backs have been ineffective the past two weeks.

 

[RUBOB72]

Great from what respect...Josh Hicks is a very good RB but great no ...great is a big difference.

 

[Jtung230]

It's the other way around.

 

[Perricone7]

All things considered, Martin and Goodwin have been pretty good backs this year. LOL at calling Clayton a huge miss.

 

[rav2003]

All the original tweets were deleted. So he's not leaving for personal reasons? He's ok? He's not happy, he's happy. It's all conjecture at this point right?

There are some comments on nj.com from somebody purportedly close to Hicks which suggest that he is not happy.

 

[BlockR]

Clearly he's not happy.Hester is still injuried,there is no safety backup on one side,Hicks played there in Army game,so he was switched.keep in mind these are all most all Flood recruits minus a couple,so this is a transition year in many aspects.Turay is another non happy camper,a couple others on offense,but to be expected with new staff I guess.

Sounds legit.

For the love of God, give Hicks the damn ball
