Greg Garmon Transferring

Re: Garmon Transferring

Exactly stupid. He got plenty of pt for a true freshman. How else were we "supposed to use him". We handed him the ball, hes a ******* running back.

you're right. every college system uses RB's the same. just because a troll said it, doesn't mean there's not some truth to it.

If he wanted playing time, it was available. He wants to be a running back and he was at least third string, if not even further down the food chain. Once Hill is back healthy, he would be even further down and he saw the writing on the wall. Non-issue.

Maybe the spirit of the team program rubbed off on him - maybe he no longer has a competative spirit - like the program.

I am wondering about players in key positions leaving this team every year. Has anyone checked Kirk for bite marks? Maybe Lickliter bit him and passed on the decease to him.

He was brutal. There I said it. Weisman had more burst than Garmon

Really? Last I checked, they were getting one of our players, not the other way around.

Re: Garmon Transferring

He looks around and sees Weisman and Bullock just one year ahead of him and those two are going to play. Canzeri is same eligibility age. I too wonder if a position change of some level was discussed. Even if not, his chance at getting meaningful carries next year, barring injuries, weren't great. Weisman and Bullock are the two best knob commodities right now and Canzeri has proven it to the staff

Really Jon...sounds like you have some inside info you haven't been sharing...

That's alright, I'd rather have McCall getting the snaps anyway.

You never decease to amaze me

I see what you did there, sneaky, very sneaky, I'm watching you guy.

I see Garmon as similar to Wegher: neither appeared anywhere NEAR as fast as touted/advertised.

Great... Another something happens that the doobers (dooshy goobers) will try to blame on KF.
Listen folks. Garmon would have benefited from a redshirt year and some time in the weight room. It's unfortunate he was pressed into service this year.
It didn't pan out for him. Had he been open to a position change, perhaps he'd still be a Hawk. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, and this trasnfer is in Garmon, and not the coaching staff.

Good luck wherever you land.

Wegher had two things that Garmon didn't. First, was a healthy offensive line. Second was a down field passing game that opened up the running game. Garmon had neither of those things.

Disagree...how many hens has Garmon fertilized?

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

Looks like the threads were merged and the one I started was the winner

#smooth

Obviously, smooth wins out. I never even made it over to the former "other" thread to post and now I don't have to...because they merged and I posted in busa's first. yay me.

Yay wine.

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

Let us all not forget...Garmon dislocated an elbow for the Hawks. I appreciate that.

This exact sentiment has been posted thousands of times the past 5 years after a certain RB and then next year when we are starting a walk on in week 5 after 7 RB's go down with various season ending RB's the posts of what if for Garmon will begin

This is a misconception, the staff has always left it up the individual player to redshirt or not. He WANTED to play and CHOSE to play. Yes, they didn't have alot of options but he could have redshirted. I agree it was a bad situation but for a different reason. 1 year in the weight room was not going to turn Greg Garmon into a down hill running, power back. He needed to be used differently and he wasn't.

 

[keepat]

Why even bring up Canzeri??? He isn't even good anyway. As far as Garmon, I am in agreement with those who think he was overrated. We need guys who can make one cut (if any) and smash it right down your throat and out your a@#. Garmon just can't do that. fact. We have way more things to worry about than our running game.
