chickenheart Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 so what do you think? do you think he redshirts? there's a log jam at rb, if thats what he's going to play. I could see him in the special teams maybe but i think that kind of wastes a year of eligibility. There is only a logjam if he isn't better than those already on the roster. Other than Castille and Helu, I am not sure that is the case. I am impressed with what Ward and Okafor have shown this year so far, but it is possible that Rex is better than them all and gets in the rotation as the third back. If Helu really breaks out this year and becomes the undisputed #1 option we all think he is, is it out of the realms of possibilities that Rex comes in and earns a co-#2 spot with Castille? The staff sure liked the co-#1 option last year naming Castille, Helu, and Lucky at that spot for most of the year. He is an outstanding slot receiver as well Link to comment

melscott62 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 man its impressive how tough he is to bring down.... seeing that clip of him playing basketball.... he not very big at all. Link to comment
Spooky Tooth Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 man its impressive how tough he is to bring down.... seeing that clip of him playing basketball.... he not very big at all. I think it's easy to look at Rex and fixate on his physical talent, but I have a suspicion, based only on what I have seen and read on boards, that his total contributions will be larger than that. Anyone who has played competitive sports for any length of time has likely experienced THAT player who seems to elevate everyone else around them by their play and their attitude. Rex may well not be the best RB we have in our stable, esp. if we snag Green's 5* brother. But he WILL see the field and I think he'll make his team better by his presence. Even if it sounds like it, I don't really have a man-crush on this kid and I hope I'm not building him up too much, but he definitely seems like a rare find. Link to comment

caveman99 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Does anybody think he'll wear #20 next year? I hope so Well the only ones on the current roster with #20 are 20 Dean, Jase CB 6-0 185 RFr. Bridgeport, Neb. (Bridgeport) 20 Kunalic, Adi PK 6-0 190 Jr. Fort Worth, Texas (North Crowley) If he wants that number, it looks possible. Link to comment

Tear it up Rex!!! Trying hard not to gush about a kid who hasn't played a snap of D-1 ball yet, but dang....... Well, it appears that Rex has taken over the number 2 spot at the moment due to Castille's removal from the team. I hate to see someone kicked off as it effects the whole team but I am happy for Rex none the less. Link to comment
chickenheart Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Can't even believe to tell you how happy I am for the recruit they call Rex. That boy can down right play football and there is no one that can say any different. I thought it would be a while before I could mention Mr. Burkhead but it seems he is starting his legend as a true freshman. Link to comment
