Gehrig Dieter

[ojaipony]

Regardless of the reasons, it's a damn shame and a loss to SMU. Why he wasn't starting from the beginning, I have no idea. Forget about any "lights coming on". We aren't a program with 4 and 5 star WRs lining up to come here. You have a talented kid, you play to his strengths and get him the ball. Period.

So do we still get to brag about landing 2 parade all americans in last year's recruiting class?

I have been in the rivals site and can only find the one thread. I will keep looking

This kid has A LOT of potential and will be the type who will resurface somewhere else and we will be looking back on "what if" scenarios a couple of years from now.

So sorry to lose him. Know his family and friends from Indiana posted on this site over this past year. They were VERY excited about SMU and the opportunity. Am sure there is much more to the sotry - but without a rivals password, I suppose, I will just have to live without knowing. Perhaps it is all tied into the GG QB issue.

Thanks Gehrig for some of the highlight plays this past year - seems that they happened more often when you and Connor P were in the game together...

One is titled "Gehrig Dieter Gets Release" and the other "Dieter Transferring."

I don’t know if Gehrig will be or is headed to the WI Badgers, but his mom was a full scholly B-Ball player for them, so who knows. Gehrig is a big kid, great hands (strong hands); decent ups …will defiantly go up and get it, will block and play physical. The only thing missing from this list is speed. What I could see from this year’s season is average speed. When the corner would press-up, he would have trouble getting separation. Not that with additional time in the weight room (speed training), and some schooling on cleaning his routes, this could not be improved. However, I think he still had upside. I do think maybe coach Phillips may not have thought he was a good fit for the system going forward. Plus, in talking with his folks, they are really …. I’ll say confident in his "Gehrig's" abilities and his older brother (what parent isn’t, and they would share it), consequently there expectations and opinion for this season were not being met. That may also have something to do with this.

Not taking anything away from Gehrig or CP, but there hooks-ups were in garbage time. That does not take away form the athleticism and perfect timing of their plays … just keep it a little in perspective. Gehrig played a lot more than 5 plays; he started and played the entire Tulane game (sorry for bringing this up again). I can think of 4 passes from GG that went his way, 2 were TD attempts. The one TD attempt is the one that got most asking what JJ was doing at the end of the game, when he went for the end zone instead of giving it to Zack on 3rd and 1 and at least keeping the clock running. Although, I agree with Gehrig's reaction, he felt he was interfered with … and he was. The corner grabbed Gehrig’s left forearm and would not let him raise it for the ball … clear as a bell on the replay.

Anyway, a good kid with skills, wish him the best going forward.

I put this on both Dieter post

I finally found it, I had heard some of that but the rest I could not believe. If that is true, there are some problems.

I have not read the rivals stories but i do believe that there are some real problems in the dressing room. I think that some serious questions exist over the relationship between June and some of the players.

JJ isn't mentioned as the problem

Finally found the other thread .

I will probably take what is in there with a grain of salt when there are three different people saying they know where he is transferring and mention three different places .

That said, from what I could put together... at some point in the season, Fuller moved over to his position and he was demoted to the practice squad. Practice squad isn't going to Hawaii, so he was told he wasn't going to be part of the travel group, so he chose to transfer.

To add my opinion to the churn, if "slow" or "white" had anything to do with the decision to drop Dieter to the practice squad, Fuller wouldn't have played either... that is why I think it is more of a situation of not grasping the offense just yet because he is a true frosh and frosh don't do well at WR in any offense.

A lot more to the discussion than that. Probably best if it were not on a open public board like this one.
