Re: Tyren Jones to SC

Big thing i noticed from that article?....there's no way that kid is a 3-star. 4-star at least. Boy, I really hate this for him. Hope he doesn't get discouraged and regress!
Pretty sure that is due to his JUCO status. JUCO players tend to get lower ratings.

Understandable, just watching his decisiveness, speed, strength and vision...with the addition of a few circle buttons in there, I'd go out on a limb and declare that he needs anther look.

Dand - just heard this and hate it for him. He has a ton of talent. Hope he gets his shot eventually.

So he did not qualify academically at South Carolina - what are his other options at this point?

Re: Tyren Jones to SC

It's sad to see this happen to someone with so much talent and I would be severely disappointed if I was an SC fan for sure. From what I've read, he is not a bad kid, just academic and some weed issue's. He is entertaining to watch because he plays so hard and is quick, but if keeps trying he will make it, see Malcolm Butler.

Another tough break for Jones. You have to wonder if he's on his way to becoming yet another cautionary tale.

Agree, I saw him as a high 4 star maybe did not have the top end speed of a 5 star. Looking back, Mark Ingram was a 3 star by many and was considered the 2nd best RB in his class at Alabama at signing day. I can't remember the other guy, he never played.

That's too bad. I'd like to see this kid playing big time football.

Preyear or Matchett?

Re: Tyren Jones to SC

I hope Tyren will get this butt to work in the classroom so he has a shot at the field - he's a talented back, but the apparent lack of self discipline doesn't look good for him right now.

Along with a tendency to blame others when things don't work out.

But, I don't believe he publicly bad mouthed Bama after he was dismissed? And he reached out to the program briefly, so he can't be that bad. Sounds like a pot head, and that mentality. Word is about 75% of the NFL uses pot for whatever reason, so he will fit right in.

You do know why he was dismissed right?

What makes you think he'll be in the NFL? He's got to get into a school first.
