I was told something very interesting this weekend. Apparently, C.J. Bates was a very popular player with the guys. Some how or another, Hud showed him the door in a fashion that really rubbed the majority of the team the wrong way. Several things have followed this season, including the way the quarterback position was handled.
A lot of kids have lost respect for Hudspeth. We all thought he was losing the locker room about a month ago, but for different reasons. This made a lot of sense, and came from a recently graduated player, who still speaks to the team regularly.
Machiavelli in the locker room apparently is your cause for all our problems. We're simply in a bind, lack of FBS talent. That's on Hud.
Our season ended in part vbecause lacking talent at cornerback. We told our best corner finish the season on the scout team. Hooray maybe we should declare we're taking a bowling penalty this year.
We're missing our best players. Both OL & DL slow, fat, and young. Depleted wide receiver before season started. Best corner sidelined NCAA issues. No big back. Inconsistent kicking game. Hud's parilisis by indecisive QB call. That's lacking talent. Best tight end lost early in session.
Cannot expect some of the youngsters to play like Quave.
This is interesting, and could explain a lot. What it doesn't explain (at least to me) is the poor fundamental play I see each week. Back in the day, there were plenty of players that had no respect for Sam Robertson. But those players had enough self pride not to get beat. What I see here is guys unable to get off blocks, not running to the ball, incapable of covering, unable to hold a block or to reach. You are going to have a hard time convincing me that these players are capable and are just tanking.
