Jamal Robinson Out For Season

[RaginEsquire06]

Fuselier is a slot receiver with great hands and quickness, Scott is a deep threat with blazing speed but is probably not as natural of a ball catcher. Different types of players

Same size, both have good speed...so what is the difference? The question boils down to which one has more reliable hands. Who can the offense depend on when their number is called. I would love to see them both step their game up.

Question. If the standard is 30% of games played and JR has played 4, that is 33%. So do you think he still gets the hardship?

Hey Jamal and Torrey, best of luck to you both in your recovery and hope to see you both again as Ragin Cajuns next year!

The difference is Fusilier is more polished as a WR, Scott was more of a track athlete coming out of HS. Scott has allowed DB's to push him off his routes too much, still not ready to play consistently right now.

T said pretty much what I was getting at in my previous comment..

As far as speed, Fuselier and Scott were similar in the 100m, as the length of the race got longer Scott had better numbers. Nearly 4 seconds faster in the 400m

As T mentioned, you can see just by watching the games that Gabe is more of a polished football player right now. Scott will hopefully get there in time. As it stands, I dont think you're going to move Gabe outside because he's pretty much exactly what you want out of a slot receiver. Great on the bubble and tunnel and a solid blocker, especially for his size.

Bottom line, no one player replaces Robinson. Johnson will play more but so will Fuselier, Scott, etc. Riles is coming on as one of best weapons so I'm sure we'll see a variety of looks.

I can see the logic here. It seemed like we threw to more receivers on different routes after JR went out.

Would that same logic apply to the La Tech, Ole Miss and Boise St. game?

takes a different mind set to be willing to float across the middle right in front of guys that outweigh you by 50lbs and hold on to the ball.

There has been a lot of speculation about the redshirt. Honestly, unless there's something really mitigating that would allow an exception, Robinson's career at UL is over.

1. You have five years to play four. Robinson is in his fourth season of playing.
2. A medical redshirt, according to the rules, isn't in the cards for Robinson because he has participated in 33% of his team's games. (4 out of 12).
3. Bowl games do not count in the percentage...but even if they did, Robinson would have played in just over 30% of his team's games.

So Robinson's only hope is for an exception to be made. Now, that is handled on a case by case basis and there is no clear statement as to what qualifies as an exception. Personally I don't see anything in this case that I know of that would warrant an exception. The fact he was injured early in two of the games is irrelevant, because the NCAA clearly states once you play a single down, it counts as a game played.

As soon as HUD said "I'm confident he'll get the hardship" that spoke loudly that he wouldn't. Because that's what coaches say. I remember Jessie Evans talking about Blane Harmon in that regard. Kept saying it all the way up to the final decision.

I'm hoping against hope for an exception but I don't see one coming. We'll find out once the paperwork is filed.
