James Hudson Looking Good

Submitted by skegemogpoint on January 2nd, 2020 at 6:46 PM

After having to sit out the regular season, James Hudson playing at LT for Cinci Bearcats in the Birmingham Bowl and looking pretty damn good doing so.  Glad for him and one more reason to feel bad for us.

We should feel bad because you can’t win against the best teams if you don’t have depth. That should be crystal clear by now. Shit happens during the course of a season and it’d be nice if the 2020 2-deep included guys like Hudson, Anthony, Muhammad, Solomon, Singleton, Woods, St Juste, etc.

Is this a joke?   You must be his buddy, or related to him, to write something as stupid as that.....

He wasn't patient, and would have been a two year starter...  good riddance...  don't need players like him or his stupid parents who encouraged it.

And yes, I said STUPID parents.....   the stupid parents and stupid player demand he play before he earns it or ready for it, and its the coaches who do the right thing by the player and hold him accountable, despite the detriment in future.   That is what MSU does....  really...  like the kid they take out of jail and bring him straight to the field....

It looks like Mayfield, Hayes, and maybe Stueber all have a more than average shot at being better than him. 

I am not that concerned about the OL right now (wow that felt weird to say)

I would love it if our most talented players panned out to be the best fit at UM.  Unfortunately that has not happened at as high of a rate as we would wish and Hudson is just another example.  Good luck to him, but he wasn't right for UM, so be it.

I never said he was our most talented OL.  I said many of our most talented guys have not panned out.  Some examples are Solomon, Singleton, Black, Asasi, Anthony, Martin, Peters, Walker, Crawford, etc.  Those are a bunch of guys from the top half of the 2016 and 2017 classes.  Hudson is another example of that.  It doesn't mean he's our most talented OL.

How are you defining talent?  Most of those guys have gone elsewhere and done very little.  It was clear that their "rating" level was not the same as their "talent" level.  It happens at every level. 

And most of those guys on your list I wish well, moved on to better situations in a very classy manner. Hudson and Solomon are another matter entirely.

Recruiting rankings

It was clear that their "rating" level was not the same as their "talent" level. 

Agreed, when I say "talented" I'm really saying our higher ranked recruits.  Maybe the problem is more evaluation or recruiting instead?  But, many of our top recruits have not panned out.

Kemp had a better statistical year than Solomon, but that doesn't tell the whole story.  I didn't watch any of Tennessee's games, so I'm not sure if fared better as a space eater than Kemp.  But, statistically we didn't miss him.  I wonder if he would have helped against Wiscy & OSU.

Arent you the same guy who was pushing the skene podcast where he was shitting on players about effort?

And now youre crying about the loss of a player who didnt want to put in the effort? 

Yeah, ill pass.

Good for hudson. Im not feeling bad about anything but the stipidity of this op though.
