'18 GA RB Lyn-J Dixon (Tennessee transfer)

[BarnesIsCaliparisDaddy]

What’s your point?

Did you not just ask to hear the reasons?

 

[butchna]

Let’s hear them. I responded to somebody saying that he’s a risk to not be a team player because he’s been to two other schools. Bru has done the same. Actually one more time

I think it was more TWO different programs having issues with his attitude. Bru was at Texas for a nanosecond and returned to the team he originally signed. It took the UNIVERSITY keeping him off the field even tho he was cleared of an accusation that had him leave. Hear that?

At Clemson:
He just needs to grow up, Swinney said after the game. "Needs to grow up. It's just that simple. He needs to be a team player. And just grow up. He’s a very good player, obviously.”

Last month:
“A source later confirmed to us at West Virginia Sports Now that Lyn-J was dismissed from the team”

I still see an IF

Is it really happening?

Timeline pares up. I think it’s done.

 

[butchna]

Speed is not an opinion.


Put it on a Nike shirt

Where’s his official time? Don’t bogard.

It was said yesterday that the announcement would be Monday.

Now what happens with the team photo later today? idk.

Did you write one thing about Bru? I said you have to be worried about Bru if you’re worried about Dixon. The guy said he was worried bc he had been to two schools previously.

High 4.4 low 4.5

How long was Dixon at wvu? You think we know the whole story on both of these guys?

I thought it was “by Monday”

You edited your post bro

To explain a little better, bc you’re obviously not getting it

I really am surprised that anyone is not excited about the possibility of adding Dixon.

And even moreso after the Whitehead news. We tried to get him last fall -- and that was when we had Evans.

Where could one view that...other than searching your posts?

I wonder why he didn’t land here the last time? There a chance we backed off? No way he would choose to go to wvu over UT, right?

A calendar year? Longer than the offseason before Spring practice. I'm sure we don't. Basing my posts on what's publicly available.

Regardless it’s a W if he does indeed transfer here

He committed to wvu at the end of November

I timed him myself.

Here's what I can find. Sharing here as if we are Googling side-by-side, a time honored tradition for any football fans. Ignore the things that go against my point, obviously.

• Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
• Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
• Shows a surprising burst to beat linebackers to the edge. Can plant his foot in the ground and explode, showing better straight-line speed than expected.
• Doesn't possess elite breakaway speed, but is fast enough to gain yardage in chunks when he finds a seam.
• Quick feet with good vision to pick through defenses. He has solid hands and body control and is a reliable receiver.

OFFERS: Texas, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Michigan, Ole Miss, Minnesota, LSU, Syracuse, Louisville, South Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, & Missouri

HT: 5’11”
WT: 185
GPA: 3
Class: 2017
40: 4.5
Shuttle: 4.3
Vertical: 31″
Squat: 315
Bench: 210
Power Clean: 250

The Taylor County athlete has incredible balance and vision that most athletes just do not possess. His ability to cut on a dime and shred defenses a part for a long touchdowns can sway the momentum of an entire game. He already has has a handful of Power 5 offers but that list will only continue. Dixon’s speed and agility makes him one of the most dangerous playmakers in the state of Georgia regardless of class.

WVU HC and RB Coach called him "a guy that can take it to the house"

Dixon, who like Etienne is known for speed over power

“I think his sophomore year, he went to Tennessee camp and they offered him right off the bat,” Wilson said. “Then, other people get started.”

Indeed, the Volunteers made Dixon his first scholarship offer in July 2015, following his freshman season. He initially committed to play for then-coach Butch Jones in June 2017 before decommitting the following October. Jones lost his job that November.

So 9 months vs 2? My rudimentary math compels me to stick with my take.

4.5 isn't slow...wouldn't call it "fast". Gotta hold my cards on this one.

And re: locker room issues, the rest of the room can sometimes contribute to the perceived issue. A change of scenery can do wonders. The family vibe around the program now might be just what he needs. You never know.

I don't get people who don't trust Heup on a question of team culture and player fit. It's not blind hope. He has produced a unified and enthusiastic locker room. And it's a major point of stress with his staff.

It's too worry-warty for me.

I'm excited as hell! But I'm still being cautiously optimistic since we missed on like 10 dudes so far.

What's annoying is all the people trying to be concerned about his character issues.

This is a big deal!

 

[wmcovol]

Suspend him if he acts up. Problem for team chemistry over.

From the video , IMO he made some runs that Small and Wright are not able to do. He is more talented.

For some reason, Vol fans always think the other guy is always better.

 

[TheRain]

I'm a yes.
