I think he along with a number of our players are going to be very pleasant surprises this season. While I question our ability to conquer OU and Bama, I think we will scare the heck out of Georgia if not beat them outright. And sneak by USCe and Florida. It just feels like this team is going to have a sneaky 1985 type season.
Hopefully, Butch reminds Croom of this everyday at practice via his megaphone. With his size, there's no reason for Croom to get jammed at the LOS, knocked off his route or look like he has alligator arms when a ball comes his way across the middle. I really hope he steps up because our WR corps has the potential to be something nasty if he does.
Croom was making strides until he got hurt in the KY game I think it was. I think we will see a different Croom this season. Pe4ople forget that big or not he was still a frosh playing in the hellish conference known as the SEC. I think he's ready now. Can't wait to see him bump heads with the USU Aggies just for starters.
Looks like he was on TN Tech's team last year but didn't play. Also 22 years old as a redshirt freshman. Didn't play JR or SR years in HS, and first two were JV (SO year because of transfer rules), so basically no game experience. Probably a long shot. Still, the mind dares to dream.
Watching a replay of the Georgia game the other night and he catches a pass late in the game and it took 3 DBs to get him on the ground. If he'd utilize his size he could be a solid receiver.

If muscle and he survives fall training, we may have a lineman we can put in to spot a starter or 2nd string without a lot of drop off. Just hope he isn't in Blair condition on arrival so he can contribute form game 1 onward.
Going by the two links, he hasn't taken a snap since maybe 2009, and that was JV. I'm going to guess that the project is still in its infancy.
Maybe we better wonder if he will hang around. Seems he bounces from place to place a lot. Doesn't know where he wants to be, it seems.
