Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3676994, member: 6809"] llandz: I never said he had a problem with grades while here. I was aware that if he didn't get his grades improved he wasn't going to be here and I spent many anxious moments waiting for some type of report from CuseLegacy about what was happening with him. I was aware that he was taking courses online to be able to improve and play. If he had grade problems here he would not have been able to stay as long as he did. The problem, as I tried to point out in my ODE post, is about his size. Jawhar is never going to be an every down back running through holes hopefully made by the pulling Guard or Tackle. The pounding he would take as tomcat pointed out would keep him on a training table or in rehab. My only thought to avoid that scenario was that he is so fast he'd be through the line too quickly for anyone on the line to catch him BUT, then he would have to get by the LB's and they are on average 6'2-3" - 230, 240 or a corner after catching a pass hitting him just after he secured the ball and I could see JJ lying on the turf with cracked ribs. No matter where he and if he goes, and I hope he doesn't, he'll have the same outlook. If in fact coaches are drooling as Dino and his assistants were they will have the same 5'9 170 lb. frame to deal with. And, playing him may take advantage of his speed but you have to cross your fingers and hope that hit from a LB or CB doesn't take him out just after he has proven he's one of a kind. I know this is P5 elite level college football and people get hurt - it's a given. I just hope he's going to have enough of that 4.37 to stay just out of the reach of an opportunistic, angry defensive back. We at SU never had the chance to see a backfield of Tucker & Jordan. Too bad I think it would have been very exciting and effective with an OL that was also. [/QUOTE]
