Roger Dorn Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I didn't realize this but Donte Williams said he's going to be 17 for almost the entire season next year. Doubt it happens but would love him to redshirt to put on good (necessary) weight and age a year Do we have enough CB's to even afford to RS him? I think he pretty much has to play. Maybe if injuries pile up. Its also possible we just allow any injuries or lack of depth to dictate our nickle package use. We've got a legitimate 3-deep if we can afford to limit our Nickle packages. CB: Jones, A Williams, Bootle CB: Jackson, Dismuke Nickle: Kalu, Anderson A Williams is pretty much a safety now, maybe a little nickel. Anderson is exclusively a safety. Also don't forget Lee, Butler and Boaz Joseph at corner. But yeah we have decent depth Quote Link to comment

The staff went all out to grab some absolute STUDS and got one in Blades. Next year we will take more. Riley eluded to this in his presser. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Is there a reason we don't have a signed tag on this yet? Just hadn't seen the official tweet from NU saying they'd gotten his letter. But it looks like they have it so I updated it. Thanks, everytime I got on and didn't see it I had a small heart attack!

ScottyIce Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yikes. Major yikes. Get to work young man. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Word is our staff is working with him - to whatever extent they can - to make sure everything gets taken care of. Sounds like as long as he gets done what he's supposed to do it will work out OK. But it's not a done deal. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Clouse was on Unsportsmanlike Conduct Tuesday afternoon and confirmed Blades still has work to do academically Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Clouse was on Unsportsmanlike Conduct Tuesday afternoon and confirmed Blades still has work to do academically IMO: I tend to think that this means, he is on track, but needs to pass his classes that he is currently taking. Worst case is he has to do some summer work and can't show up until August. Which would mean he would have to Redshirt. Which might not be the worst thing? Quote Link to comment

I don't think it's a guarantee he RS's even in that situation. We are scary thin at CB. Quote Link to comment
