I present your redshirt seniors for this season...
- Thread starter thunderclap
- Start date
That is hard to believe. My favorite has to be Chasman Davis, who suffers what is in fact a career ending knee injury in high school that loses all of his offers but ours, we sign him, he never plays. Guess Rusty Linton saw something every other doctor missed and was right about it.
I am thinking 7 of them actually played. I am not counting the Budwiser crew since they had so much character.
It seems like the knew the injury was at least career-threatening, but Croom wanted to do the honorable thing and award the scholarship. Those are the type things that make me admire Croom the man while despising Crooms the coach.
but he thought that his only chance in life was to go to school on scholarship. From what I know Davis was making use of the free ride while Croom was here but not sure what happened since.
From a football standpoint it's easy to want to hate Croom for that but also sorta impressive.. Now the sad part was that if Davis hadn't gotten hurt I think he had already eliminated us from his top 3....

Did anyone notice that we did not sign one freakin QB in that entire class. Shouldn't we at least sign one a year?
but also infuriating. Our football team is/was not his personal community outreach project. That's one scholly we could have used on some other two-star with no SEC offers.
Correction: looks like we didn't pay his way after all. But nice job on making good the second time around, Chasman.
"Struggling to get around, at first in a wheel chair and later crutches,
the former high school preseason All-American became depressed. It
affected his school work to the degree that he ended up not passing
through the NCAA Clearinghouse and lost his scholarship to Mississippi
State."

I want to say Croom only had one year that he signed a QB. Maybe two, but that's it.OleMissAintHereAgain said:

Wow. In 5 years, he signs 2 guys with some semblance of being able to play QB. You guess which 2, LOL
Seriously though, as bad as MSU has been in the past at signing decent QBs, Croom's tenure has to be by far the worst. </p>
