Read between the Lines Tommy Devito dig?

[SkyTopBus44]

“Good ol’ country boy. That’s kind of his personality, kind of he cares, but he doesn’t. He cares about his body, but he doesn’t. He cares about winning, which is important, and I think he elevates other people’s play around him,” Babers said.

“It’s kind of like an Eric Dungey thing. Some people say, ‘I can’t do that; I might get hurt.’

“All he cares about is winning.”

Is this quote a dig on Devito or am I reading too much into it?

Shrader, and his beard, are becoming lionized: ‘He looks like Grizzly Adams’

Shrader's beard was the topic du jour during his weekly interview Wednesday.

he has had dozens of QBs in his coaching tenure. I can't imagine he said that in thoughts of taking a shot at a player who he cares greatly for

 

[XC Cuse]

I'm not sure I see it as a dig towards Devito, maybe I'm missing the point. Babers just seems to be describing Sharaders personality, he probably isn't like many QB's.

 

[djorange1989]

Not a dig just admiration for his fearlessness

 

[Scooch]

I suspect Babers hasn't thought about DeVito since the day he did his presser about him leaving.

Dino doesn’t seem like the passive aggressive type. Think this is a nothing burger.

 

[TheCusian]

I think his comments are always positive on the stuff we love about him too - fearlessness, leader, etc. The stuff I find interesting is his take on the throws. He will not say he throws well lol. I think he wants TD's arm on GS.

It’s funny - 1st time I heard the quote, that popped up in my head. But I agree with everyone here, I just don’t think Dino would do that. No reason to.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Yawn - I don’t think HCDB has any interest in looking backward

 

[qdawgg]

Never entered my mind and still doesn’t after reading this thread. I don’t see it even a little.

Don't we all?

 

[Goin' Deep]

naaaah, NO dig.
He's describing Shrader- no more.
Dino said TD was a special player to him and could only wish him success.
He(Dino) is not the kind to talk down a player. I think he said I don't discuss
a player no longer with the team...something to that effect...

I suspect Babers hasn't thought about DeVito since the day he did his presser about him leaving.

Although I imagine every morning Dino reflects on the relief he feels to have certain people out of his life.

I would if I were him.

I genuinely hope he finds himself at Illinois. He's a good kid.

Don't see it as a dig at all.

If it had been a dig, he would have made some ambiguous comparison to the person that Shrader supplanted. Babers didn't do that, he just compared him to Dungey.

 

[PAcuse]

Agreed not a dig

 

[Cuse12]

Very interested to see him in another system.

 

[Trueblue25]

Im sure he’ll perform well in the spring action
