[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 131740748, member: 1476288"] Tavon was to small to play RB every game and def to small to play RB in the NFL. I bet hes thankful he relied on the coaches to put him in the best position possible to be successful and make it to the league. While he could have played a few downs per game, It wasnt his natural fit. Coburne & Divine didnt play in the league and Slaton only did for a few years. Austin's natural fit is slot & kick returner. Have some coaches lied to recruits, absolutely, esp when it comes to playing time & positions historically yes. However, I think those days of "Lets just get them on campus" days are over. If a recruit is unhappy and feels betrayed, they can leave now. Its a different world then it was back then I dont think the current staff would tell them certainties, more like probabilities and justifications for positive outcome. They are far more likely to know more then we do. Im confident that is why NB had the "Player Meetup" to discuss everything with the commits & targets. To think it wasnt discussed by the staff with all the commits or to think the staff automatically lied to them is a bit much though. [/QUOTE]
