Swan Lake reporting Chaz Ramsey to Ole Miss.

[croomandwhite]

Not confirmed or anything, but a poster said that Croom and Co. would only offer him a walk on position. Thoughts?

 

[OEMDawg]

If he had some offers from Alabama A&M and Alabama State he probably would have gotten some love from the Walrus. As it stands right now though we are loaded at o line. We wouldn't want to take a scholly spot away from all the offensive skill players that Crooms is bringing in Byrne. Don't be a *****. Do your job!

 

[Croomp]

17 Crxxm if that is any bit true.

Hard to have an opinion on it - good player with a bad back and those things can be tricky. He could turn out to be a good player or he may have trouble staying healthy. The thing is you just never know. Croom does have a good track record of rewarding walk-ons that perform with scholarships so I don't know that I disagree with offering him a walk-on for the first year and then giving him a scholly in the winter if he's doing well. Plus remember he can't play next year at all.

To offer him a scholly you'd have to use one of your 25 limit - and with Richards being a utter failure we know how to probably use a scholly on a kicker as well as the punter we just got the commit from (remember that gives us 3 K's in this class evenually b/c we have a greyshirt punter).

Granted, he'll probably go to OM and be a two-time all SEC performer and we'll all look back at another kid who was a MSU fan that ended up at another program and had great success. But right now I can't call this a bonehead move. Just my two-cents.

You're probably right about him being a target if he plays LSU...or Clemson for that matter. But I have always wondered whether that was Ramsey doing the chop blocking on his own or whether he was being told to do that by the coaching staff.

By the way, I think the Ramsey to Ole Miss rumor is BS. I think he's supposed to come to our campus soon to talk with the coaches, but I doubt he's made up his mind one way or another. That said, Croom may have already told him he'd have to walk on, which may be why the poster was making the assumption that he was coming to Ole Miss, but I doubt anything firm has happened yet.

 

[Reb92]

He is supposedly meeting with Nutt during our next open week - He will probably get the same offer from us to walk on and prove he is over his injury.

 

[K Pickles]

but I stayed with some guys that are good friends of Chaz from MC and played football with him, said that he talked to them last week and that he was definitely coming to State but was still unsure if his health would affect his future as far as football. Having said that, I was good friends with D. Buckles at MC and he told me he was definitely a bulldog. So who knows.

P.S. been a lurker for many many years now.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

Or do you actually have to be on a team when you sit out?

I don't know if he'll ever be healthy any way.

 

[graddawg]

Has he actually withdrawn from Auburn this semester? If so, he might be able to play next year. However, if he was enrolled during this football season the NCAA will probably say he was still a part of the AU program and he would technically have sit out a transfer year. They could always grant a waiver though.

 

[AlCoDog]

I doubt he would want to follow Tubbs here anyway.

[PBRME]

Thanks Jackie.

 

[Garciacamebackadawg]

but (17) you Chaz. Why would we want damaged goods from any school? That's just a no brainer, if AU didn't think he could play up to is potential then why should we think any different?

The guy hurt his back and the coaching staff continued to push him on without letting him rehab it. Which ended up being for the worse that is why he is not playing. I think it would be a great decision by Crxxm to take him in. The **** for an offensive line we have no is not improving. We should be taking offensive lineman at any chacne we get.

 

[Todd4State]

I can't fault Croom on this one only because of his injury. Especially since he is an o-lineman. We've wasted too many scholarships on people like Quentin Saulsberry, we can't afford to take the chance.

If he walks on and does indeed prove to be healthy, we could give him a scholarship then.

Unfortunately for us, I doubt Croom is smart enough to put that last clause in.
