Class of 2016 WR Gehrig Dieter BG transfer

[Whitey23]

Internet seems to think he's Bama bound but I thought it was worth a post. I wonder if there's a connection what that alleged recruiting violation from a few weeks ago.

From everything I heard this is the kid the rumor was all about. And he already transferred once before to BGSU.

Those stats.
His 2015 stats alone would put him 13th in receptions and 12th in receiving TD on our all time list. Our record books are about to get a makeover.

Why would Alabama screw around with graduate transfers from the MAC? Don't they have 2-3 5 star prospects that they could use to fill any depth issues?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[upperdeck]

it will be interesting to see how much he plays on that roster and that style of offense.

 

[retro44]

I guess that by someone bitching over at BG did not stop the transfer anyways.

I thought 'Bama is at the limit anyways,so my next question would be ......Who is the booster paying for that one year there?

It's going to be like nothing we've ever seen.

Wait and watch - you're going to hear the term "video games" a lot.

I'd temper your expectations a bit.

It took Baylor 2-3 years to catch up to the superior talent levels they were playing against. And as this thread indicates, Babers had way above-average talent to work with at BG compared to the competition. Dieter and Lewis were high level, P5 talents competing against MAC DBs. Almost the opposite will be in place at SU during the next couple of years. I do think Ismael is really solid and Estime is serviceable. I suspect Phillips and Strickland will be good once they learn the position. But FSU and Clemson stock up on 4-5 star DBs. Louisville, Va Tech and Notre Dame will all have a lot of backfield talent. Their relative talent is more than we have offensively.

Even Babers has hinted at taking "a step back to take two forward."

Im just as excited as anyone but your absolutely right. Its gonna take time.

 

[TexanMark]

So is the feeling Cuse backed off due the potential messiness (tampering threat)? Or did this player want to play on a bigger stage?

 

[721Comstock]

For some reason, this keeps popping into my head when I read this kid's name...

And his reaction when he heard he was going to 'Bama:

Babers is talking about things in a very intelligent manner. Good on him. Under promise, over deliver.

It's not going to take any time. I'm not saying we're a 6 TD a game juggernaut right away. But we're going from bad offense to slightly above average offense immediately. And in our history, slightly above average offense now is better than the majority of our program's offenses.

The record book is getting rewritten. Period.

Yes thats my point. We are not gonna see BG's version of this offense right now. I think most people will agree that we will be better offensively, just not top 5 offense in the nation better. That will take time.

And what does that punk BGSU grad writer have to say about this?

Gehrig Dieter is leaving BGSU. I know he's been in contact with Alabama.

[CuseLegacy]

Now that is just plain pettiness on the part of BGSU.

probaly would have had 1 or 2 more wins with another receiving threat opposite Etta Tawo

I wonder if we would have pursued AET at all if Dieter had been able to come here?

Good question

FYI -
Here is Dieter's stats for his 2016 season at Alabama:

Gehrig Dieter

I'm assuming there were a lot of 4star/5star WR targets on the team, which limited the number of times he was targeted for pass plays.

I don't have a problem with somebody wanting to play for Alabama; it probably would have been better for his 2016 stats to go to a school where he would be a bigger fish, though.

Absolutely, bama recievers dont get the targets and thus stats historically. Hell, even JJ didn't put up huge numbers simply bc of the offensive approach. Throw in the fact that bama had a LB playing QB this year, a work in progress and yup...he went to bama for name on the Jersey. Didn't do anything for his draft stock.
