Where's Rob Smith

blamie · 04-30-2006, 04:51 PM

I haven't been paying that much attention to the draft but there's no news on here about him. Anyone think he might feel a little foolish right now?

**OWB** · 04-30-2006, 04:53 PM

All I know is that I wish he would've stayed for one more year. Neither the Vols or Smith got a good deal for leaving early.

**milohimself** · 04-30-2006, 04:53 PM

I'd say it's 50/50 that he gets picked up.

Yeah, he's probably wishing he would have stayed around. IMO, as an offensive guard, you don't declare early unless you KNOW you're one of the top 10-15 guards in the country. They just don't get picked up like that.

Good riddance. The program is bigger than the crybaby.

Obviously a big mistake going early. probably wont get drafted. He let his emotions get the best of him, it seemed like a rash decision not well thought out.

I don't have any ill will towarsd the guy. I think it really is a bad situation for both sides. We lose a our second best linwman and he possibly doesn't get drafted.

Yep, it's definitely a Homer Simpson "DOH" moment...

AMAZING toenia is projected to go ahead of rob smith

after what happened last year to munoz, going undrafted, you would have thought r. smith would have known better then to go early.

**milohimself** · 04-30-2006, 05:22 PM

Maybe... Mahelona was overrated.

Amen to that, those me attitudes are definately not what the team needs right now

SURFSIDEBEACHVOL · 04-30-2006, 05:42 PM

I wish him the best and hopefully some team gives him a chance

**milohimself** · 04-30-2006, 05:44 PM

St. Louis just took two guards, one from Minnesota the other from Missouri. Any team looking to pick up a guard late has to be looking at Smith now.

I thought Rob was the ironman, the guy that never missed a game. I don't understand him being called a crybaby.

**checkerboard_charly** · 04-30-2006, 07:19 PM

he made a huge mistake it looks like. i didnt understand him leaving in the first place.

I forgot about Hall. Did he leave early or was he a senior? I can't remember and I don't feel like looking it up.
