Question On Michael Abernathy

[TheDon24]

I've heard that he is a soft LSU commit. Did he really like LSU better, or did we not pursue him hard? I love his size as a running back,even though he is listed as a FB. If we wanted a power runner, i figured this guy would work. Is he not good enough to play RB? If so, i can see why we didnt pursue him, cuz we don't use the FB much in our offense. Someone plz fill me in on him.

A big part of it has to do with his work ethic on and off the field. On the field he does not practice hard because he has "star-syndrome" and doesn't think he has to. He is also doing terribly in the classroom. Heard all this from one of his teammates at Rville.

There doesn't seem to be room for a FB in this class. Plus, we're set at the position, that not really used that much in our offense. Baron Huber and Jeramie Griffin will do great for us.

It really surprises me Griffin is red-shirting this year. I really thought he would play as a true freshman.

I have family in Russellville and based on what I am told Abernathy's probability of qualifying academically is slim to none.

And slim just escorted none out the door.

Yep,I believe the main reason we are not pursuing MA is he has major grade issues.

I have heard (people close to the school) that he serious issues.
