Very little risk IMO. We have a spot, zero tolerance policy, one and done, knee injury should be healed, upgrade. IMO we dont have any depth behind two injury prone runnig backs

Don't think Butch will go down that path after traveling around the state recently and saying Character is one of the first things they look at in a recruit.

I agree 100%... character SHOULD be the 1st thing we look at in a recruit. Then, if they are a RB and have 5* star talent we stick that character in our back pocket and quickly give him a work-out. Problem solved.

Was Dyer interested in TN during his initial recruitment? Rivals shows he took an OV but idk how accurate that is considering it was in 2009.

No Thanks to Michael Dyer. We already have enough problem children

I have to disagree, be deliberate in the process and you have to take a reasonable risk to get a reasonable reward.

We need a quality RB worse than any spot on the offense right now.

I would take him, we obviously are way under the 27 we believed we would take so surely we can take a risk on 1 scholly. He may come back with a vengeance and a chip on his shoulder and be an asset to this team.

it would be worth it to take a chance on him and put him on a very short leash,more like a short chain and let him know,the first screw up he is gone,if he is even in n game shape,sounds like he is trying to get things turned around,i say go for it

I'd have to wonder why he hasn't signed anywhere yet?

I would say because of his history, he needs a little extra research which takes up time that the coaches didn't have to spend while closing out their classes.

If the kid is clean and people are willing to speak well on his behalf, I say give him the chance. It's been 2 years and it seems he has kept his nose clean at least this year at the small baptist college. 1st thing I would do is drug test him before he signed anything. Don't warn him your going to test him, just do it. If he comes up clean, he is an impact player who could help us get to 7-8 wins and get CBJ 1st year off to a great start.

I'd say give the kid another shot. He is a BEAST. Let Jay Graham get a hold of this kid, behind our line, and it would be a special thing.

I rarely post, however, I agree 100%. Our current rb's are only marginally better than average. You cannot make chicken salad out of chicken $h*t.

Just to play devil's advocate here; it's a hell of a lot easier to keep your nose clean in podunkville, USA when there's very little to do and fewer people watching--doesn't necessarily mean your on the straight and narrow, just means you're not getting caught.

If he signed here, he'd have all eyes on him--he'd basically have to be a choir boy. No late-nights, no fraternizing, no bar-hopping...he'd basically have to be Mother Teresa-esque.

That said....if those around him and those at Arkansas Baptist Bible Tech (or wherever he's at) can convince me that he's worth of another chance, I'd then sit him down and have some pretty blunt questions for him. If he convinced me that he wouldn't be a problem in the locker room or off the field, I'd have him sign an LOI right then and there.

...but only after all of that.

Point blank, Dyer could be the difference between 6 wins and 8 wins...assuming he's still got it. However, he could also be the difference between a good locker room and a poor one.

We don't need another Da'Rick running off at the mouth to coaches and leaders on the team. I'd make it clear there is a no-tolerance policy...if he's good with that, sign him up.

I just read a story on bleacher report. Saying that Tennessee is a likely landing spot for Dyer next year. It seems like a match made in heaven if he has cleaned his act up.
