Great news-Jerome Smith to return next year

[anomander]

GM2&DMF>ROME&PTG

Going to be interesting to see how we distribute playing time, let alone the ball.

Definitely not a bad thing

Move McFarlane to H back and Broyld to defense. That will clear up the logjam in the backfield a bit.

The upbeat offense against BC with 51 rushes for 210, and 43 passes for 270, including Hunt's catch for -16, while having the ball for 33 minutes. Just need the overall execution to be what it was the last 3 quarters of the game, not the 1st quarter where we gave away 10 points. A total of 94 plays for almost 500 yards is exciting, and get the defense a little bit better we could be really good.

Jerome's a character guy. Never seen anything from Prince that would make him stand out as a character guy. Character guys don't get stabbed...

I respect you as a poster but this is 'ed up. As I've aged, I've learned that unless you are 100% sure of the circumstances, it's pretty tough to pass judgement. Very few people in this life, regardless of fault, are deserving of attempted murder. I'm sure there will be some things in your past you will be less than thrilled with someday, especially the mistakes you may have made as an 18 year old kid. PTG has made himself into a better person than he was when he stepped foot on campus.

jerome got dinged a couple times, gulley missed a few games. morris got hurt as well and this is with just normal injuries.. we would start the year with 4 guys and odds are we would need all 4 to finish the year and they all have different strengths. this also means we go into 2015 with 2 backs who have seen time and one who may RS. we would need 2-3 in this next class and a good chance one might have to see the field. it wouldnt surprise me if we see gulley on ST next year and Morris is the 1-1a RB and PTG/Devante the 1-1a 3rd down backs who also play special teams.

Like you have never done anything in your life that was a bad choice (especially as a college student). Judgemental people are normally hipocrites. FWIW.

As a Police Officer, I see kids (white, black or whatever) that don't stand a chance. If he has succeeded this long in college, then he is doing something right. He made one bad choice that obviously led to an altercation with some idiot that brought a knife to a party. I am lucky to be alive after some of the stupid decisions I made and I consider myself a pretty reasonable person (not so much as a college student). I saw the video of him working out with Shamarko and came to the conclusion that he hss a strong work ethic. Bnoro can say what he wants but it seems pretty demeaning considering how well he has played and more importantly how far he has come. Akron isn't the nicest place in the world. Been there a bunch of times.

It is amazing to me that some on this board are actually questioning and in some cases not wanting ptg and jerome to return. Wow two leaders two of the best players on the team are you kidding me. These two guys coming back are like landing two 4-5 star recruits.

They are in love with potential - and forgetful of some very long runs to salt away at least 3 games this season.

The future is bright - but c'mon - these two are really good backs with a ton of experience and skill.

I'm amazed that you are amazed - it's kinda what this board does!

Didn't mean it like that but it's who you surround yourself with that plays a part. There are a lot of things I'm not thrilled about that i've done. It's not like he was randomly stabbed on the street.

Couldn't have said it any better. Prince Tyson Gulley is a human being, not a video game running back on NCAA '14.

You are judging somebody's character based on an incident that happened 2 1/2 years ago. PTG wasn't the only one in the vicinity of the fight that broke out - are you going to pass judgement on every single human being at the party? If so, good luck in life.

I said he was probably a great kid, just saying he wasn't "high character" like Rome. No need to blow it out of proportion.
