What's the story on Grindle? Homesick or can he just not hack it? Good to see Carr back, hope he can contribute.

Homesick I heard needs to get back closer to home and mama.

Nothing wrong with that.

To me Carr would've been the guy who Bumphis complemented this yr not someone complementing him had Michael stayed. Michael is a dynamic receiver moreso than almost anybody on the roster which is why he played SO early getting him back after the senior class of WRs leaves is huge! Don't expect much early on as he will have to go through the riggors of getting into playing shape but midway through this next yr I expect nice things from him. He was the absolute best route runner as a FRESHMAN!

Just typical MSU. I agree he would have made a big difference. Same with Fletcher Cox in the middle although you can't blame him for leaving. If Gabe Jackson leaves that's going to set us way back as well.

Im hearing that Corey Smith may want to play closer to home as well.

Not sure he has an OSU offer yet, but apparently he is visiting there this weekend.

Nothing wrong

with that? Yeah, if you're 12 and a girl. WTF. How does one get "homesick" when they live 3 hours from home. I could understand someone being homesick if they were in, say, Afghanistan, but Columbia? This kid needs to grow up. I don't think he'll be able to help anyone out until he does.

excuse me stewardess...

Im Xavier Grindle and I transfered because I had to work and wasn't getting to play. I want to go to JUCO so I won't be buried on the depth chart next year. It's my life. None of the coaches ever gave me a chance. Please stop saying I will never make something of myself, it hurts my feelings. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. You will see, if you don't believe me, you can suck my dick. I love you moms and all of my dad's illegitimate children too. I'm going to be something because like Jesus, I was immaculately conceived. I'm in touch with my feelings and so is God and that is all that matters.

Okay, got a couple of questions ...

To me Carr would've been the guy who Bumphis complemented this yr not someone complementing him had Michael stayed. Michael is a dynamic receiver moreso than almost anybody on the roster which is why he played SO early getting him back after the senior class of WRs leaves is huge! Don't expect much early on as he will have to go through the riggors of getting into playing shape but midway through this next yr I expect nice things from him. He was the absolute best route runner as a FRESHMAN!

I have never seen Carr play besides the couple of games last year BUT is this a 'consensus' among those that have seen him play over the years? Is he a legitimate 'game changer?'

7 catches in 8 games for 90 yards and he gets your "dynamic receiver moreso than almost anybody on the roster" nomination? 6 WRs, 2 TEs and 2 RBs had more catches than he did.

Not throwing stones but just 5 months ago, I heard all about how Joe Morrow was going to come in and stretch the field and we finally had a 'go to' WR. After his big spring, his 5 catches in 8 games did not impress.

Is Carr coming in during the summer? Or, does he have to wait until Aug to practice? I know he was out all last year but why wouldn't he be 'ready' with 8 months+ before the first snap?

Thanks

Carr has been WAY overhyped by many on this board since even before he signed. Same with Morrow. It's not quite time to call them both complete busts, but it's real close.

You're calling Morrow a bust after his redshirt freshman year? Did you ever seen Carr play when his head was in it? Good grief, guy.

Carr has had some other issues- non-football related-to deal with. Hopefully he has those under control and get back to using the talent he has. The young man is a real talent- just alot more there to deal with.

Players anywhere near as good as those two were hyped up to be don't take 3 years to even give any production at all, especially with the mediocre collection of other receivers we have on the team (Bumphis excepted). If you read my post I clearly said it's not quite time to call them busts. But it's definitely time for them to start making some kind of contribution.

Obviously, if you can't contribute as a Fr or So, you're a bust.

I remember Carr going way up and coming down with a couple of BIG pass plays ... impressed me back then, I'm pretty sure he's still got it ... besides that, he wants to play for state

I did read it, and now you're changing your tune a little bit. Why are you going by hype anyway? Hype is not backed by anything tangible at all.

I'm not changing my tune at all. So far, neither of those 2 has done anything at all for us. They're both very near to being complete busts. Next year is a critical year for both of them and I'm not really optimistic about either one. I hope I'm proved very wrong in both cases.
