Dontavius Blair Puzzler

Current second-team offensive tackles are Richmond and Hall. So what's the story with Blair? Seems like he has the physical tools but still can't piece it together. Bummer.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Still can't get the technique down from reports.

Not every player will live up to the billing. Blair is one of those players.

Made me think of Marques Pair. Offensive linemen that was here 5 years and rarely played and never started.

I wish he'd get it going, we could use the body!

Yep. That's why recruiting is such a fickle and complicated thing.

He's not good. He's a senior and Hall, a true freshman who has only been playing offensive line for a couple of months, destroyed him.

 

[CJBlaze]

Bust! Coaches evaluations were wrong obviously.

 

[VolBalla2014]

In short: recruiting rankings don't mean ****

I was in give him a chance mode until this. He obviously just doesn't have what it takes and needs to be gitshirted. At least he's had 4 years of school and should be able to graduate.

Monte said he was one of he best linemen in his class.

Monte was never right.

What is a "git"-shirt?

Is that awarded by Larry the Cable guy?

 

[Biopsyman]

This will be is last year with the program even with another year of eligibility .. Over recruited

 

[Wickman]

Bust! Coaches evaluations were wrong obviously.

They took a flier on a JUCO kid with size due to no depth provided by DD. JUCOs are the hardest to evaluate. Every coach missed an evaluation, but we've hit more than we missed. If you're gonna acknowledge the miss so Dramatically, acknowledge the ones they landed as well

 

[MT LeConte]

Whiff Whiff Whiff.......it happens.

 

[photovol]

Called strike three, your out!

Blair is the exception not the rule.

 

[EZE]

A lot of coaches whiffed on the evaluation, because the kid was heavily recruited. And highly rated by all of the scouting services. It happens.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Blair is the exception not the rule.

Sutton as well. Should've been a 5 star.

 

[Nocleats]

Not violent enough, Wont explode and attack the DLineman in a brutal, violent, and hateful way... He just doesn't seem to be mean.

If he were to get that taken care of, he would be an all-american. Until he does, he is just a good practice body for new guys.

 

[VolDango]

It's pretty simple. Blair is soft and was overrated by multiple scouts. Hard to really gauge JUCO guys because often times their competition is a joke.

 

[Vol logic]

The JUCO ranks are risky business with lineman, plain and simple. Especially so with offense as our track record with defensive line has at least been marginal like McCullers.

Marques was a camp offer, by Kiff****. if im not mistaken. Look who he was behind.
