I think he weighed like 140 when he got to campus.I was there the day butch offered Moseley. Dude put down a super fast 40 and walla. Wasn't anything but a boney 2 star.....with speed!
Its funny how Butch recruited guys now balling in the NFL, but when they are here - they are referred to as Butch's recruits and their "soft". The NFL seems to have figured out how to get the most of Butch's recruits, maybe our coaches need to go visit with the NFL coaches at their OTAs and mandatory mini camps to pick their brain. It used to be a common practice to go visit with NFL coaches and their practices. Not sure if college coaches still do that or not.We have 2 on the team but Butch recruited them,
Other college coaches have figured it out too (Riley Ferguson, Peterman, Hurd, Preston Williams, etc.).Its funny how Butch recruited guys now balling in the NFL, but when they are here - they are referred to as Butch's recruits and their "soft".

Don’t have a problem with most of this thinking ceptin the Ferguson/Peterman talk. To embrace this means that they should’ve beat out Dobbs...and they clearly didn’t.Other college coaches have figured it out too (Riley Ferguson, Peterman, Hurd, Preston Williams, etc.).
Going into the 2017 draft, there was chatter from NFL scouts about if there was "something wrong" with Alvin Kamara given that he wasn't a starter until Hurd quit despite good production. Did he have an injury, did he have a poor work ethic, was he a locker room cancer in college, etc. I remember reading those articles and thinking "No, Butch is just an idiot."
