Lemarcus Coker?

[GVF]

With Riggs being out, and Hardesty, we are thin at RB. I've seen the redshirts addressed that would be in position to contribute next year, but no one has mentioned Coker. What happened to him? He was supposed to be a major recruit for us.

I dont know...

:question:

I would think i would beneficial to redshirt him this late in the season rather waste a year. He will be here after Foster is gone.

 

[GVF]

He is listed on the roster, and was redshirted. I was just wondering if he was indeed here, or went to JC. He just hasn't been mentioned as a possible talent next year, but was supposed to be dynamite.

For that matter, since we've been so inept at QB, now would be a good time to see why we recruited Hardegree

 

[GAVol]

We had a thread about Coker about a week ago. He is on the roster and is being redshirted. I can't imagine that they'd take the redshirt off this late in the season.

No. you would never kill a redshirt this late. I just read a thread that was discussing next years talent for RB duties, and no one mentioned him, and I was just curious of his progress and how his future looks. During signing, we considered him a top recruit. I would still like to see what Hardegree has since we can't find a QB. This is his 3rd year in the system. I'm sure we,ve had QB's in the past who never played a down here, but could have had playing time elsewhere. Was he ever a legitmate talent for playing time?

Hardegree was a package deal with Daniel Brooks. We would have never recruited him if it weren't for Brooks. I don't see Hardegree ever stepping on the field.

coker was fighting back problems i believe through most of the year!! and maybe some other injury! For some reason i want to think he arrived later than some of the other freshman!! but the big reason why he didnt play this year is injuries and he has had problems hanging on to the football!!!

 

[surrealvol]

That's a recurrent theme...

Coker was only a 3 star prospect, not too major of a recruit, but should be redshirted, why waste it this late in the year when we have a freshman already starting, he'd still be here when Foster is gone. I think Hardegree was a walk on, but was given a scholarship since he made 3rd string this year. Cooter was actually a 3 star prospect when we signed him, broke a few state passing records.

He was 4 star prospect with rivals!! the number 2 all purpose back!!! He is 5 star prospect form scout .com and number 7 RB!! So id say he is good and was a major recruit!! I dont know were you got 3 star from?? But yes they should leave him redshirted this season!

a 3 star prospect? Hardegree a walk-on??

Yancey was a walk-on. Coker was a #2 back per rivals.

 

[hvwarrior58]

not only that, but coker was a top 15 player before he hurt his ankle. he was the #2 overall rb behind jonathan stewart at that time and ended up like the #5-7 rb and the #2 all purpose back behind antone smith.
