Yeah he picked Wolford and stuck with him throughout last year. But none were healthy enough to last the entire year.
Until we can put an effective ground game on the field, I'd prefer to see Hinton so we have some semblance of a running threat. And less likely to get sacked.
Did Liverpool take Haney's scholarship that just opened up?
Probably either that or Wary's.
A few other notes:
TJ Haney has landed at Charleston Southern
LaRonde Liverpool tweeted that yesterday was his first day at Wake, so it appears that the plan to greyshirt has changed.
I was disappointed to see that Kyle Kearns had only 3 passing attempts yesterday. Keep in mind that if it weren't for trying to preserve his redshirt he would have played last year when our QB injury situation was at its most dire. There is a good chance he will see the field at some point this year, so I'm a little surprised to see him getting so few reps.
Probably either that or Wary's.
With Wary having a medical issue, is he still on scholarship even though he won't be playing anymore?
I seem to recall a post of yours which indicated that Liverpool was being moved from OLB to TE. Do I have that right?
I've been a Wolford fan, and will continue to be, but if Hinton has improved his arm to average and can handle the huddle and the LOS (this was a weakness of his last year) & it's close I think you go with Hinton to start (he can just do more).
(Post-Spring IMHO) on a
Bad - Below Avg - Avg - Above Avg - Good
scale:
Wolford:
Arm - average
Mobility - average
Hinton
Arm - below average
Mobility - above average*
Are you talking arm strength or accuracy? Hinton certainly seems to throw the ball with more pace than Wolford. Also from the moment that he set foot on campus he has appeared to have a better deep ball than Wolford.
Some of these comments seem to ignore the fact that Wolford and Hinton are equally as fast. It's easily argued, however, that Hinton is more creative and elusive.
Sacks? Hinton took four of them yesterday to Wolford's goose egg. Small sample size, and it was under conditions where if you get touched you're considered down. That being said, Hinton got waffled once on accident, so it's not like he would have evaded all four sacks. In fact, in the two scrimmages combined, Hinton has been "sacked" nine times to just twice for Wolford.
Last year this time, Wolford was the clear no. 1 choice. That isn't the case right now.
