Just wanted to share that Quinton Flowers and Jordan Cronkrite will be playing in The Spring League beginning October 27th.

He was listed as the 29th best back available after the draft by one service. Another service noted that It was well know that his 40 time was severely lacking credibility. I don’t see that he has signed anywhere. 

I was there for his 40 and it was legit. I’ve tried to post the video but it is too large. The only reason the NFL hasn’t accepted his time because there wasn’t an NFL rep there which they didn’t know until afterward. 
 

From the Steelers scouts, 2 of them had him listed as a 6th round pick as a one dimensional player since he wasn’t used in the passing game his two years at USF or on special teams. The third scout had him as a priority FA.
 

The issue is the intensity grade (medical + off field). USF reported 3 major injuries including a knee injury which put his intensity grade as 3.2. Anything over 2.5 is a red flag. 
 

just wanted to share what teams really say and go by and not what these services that many value but don’t know crap.

I was just curious if he signed a UDFA deal. Wasn't meant as a slight which seems to be how you took it.... 

I didn’t take it as a slight at all. I am upset with USF and how they have conducted themselves with certain players. The families of high school players that I am associated with have taken note as well.

If the scouts know it was misinformation, why not draft him?

The scouts don’t know it was misinformation so teams sought out more information. USF has not answered back many requests from NFL teams over the last few months, not just about Cronk but Barnett as well.

This has left many teams not even signing him let alone drafting because of all uncertainty about the player and the season coming up. 
 

Sad part is once he is brought in and makes a team, USF will promote that as if they had something to do with it but when the player needed the school there was no love then. Gotta love a second rate football program.

Isn't he out of Eligibility? 

Off topic, Cronk signed anywhere yet? 

Cronk wasn’t drafted because of misinformation put out by USF on his medical history so teams want to see him in person. If he would’ve had a pro day he would’ve been a day 3 pick.

These are words straight from NFL scouts and coaches

He is not out of eligibility and was granted an additional year. He did not sign with an agent so he is in a position to see which is the best scenario for him. There have been a lot of conversations between him and the new coaching staff and administration

University of Sioux Falls ...... grad transfer.

Barnett has kept his options open and Weiss was with him at Alabama. Let’s see how things play out.

There is a very good chance that he is the starting QB for USF this fall.

Both watches were in the 4.3 range but I think they had a fast thumb. Either way he ran really well. 
 

From the feedback from his agent, that time may sneak him back into the last two rounds. 
 

Mitch really should have made the drive over because because his stock has fallen considerably 

Thought I would share. Cronkrite and his team put on a pro day along with a couple of local players in the Miami area. Blake and Mitch did not want to drive down. Brett Kean threw for Cronk. I was trying to post the video of his 40 but it was too large. He ran twice and the first was a 4.48 and the second was faster. I had it at 4.40 but the two timers had it faster than that.

Just wanted to share with the board what the draft eligible players are trying to do since their pro day has been cancelled. 
They are trying to conduct their own pro day and have it professionally videotaped. It was supposed to be Monday but there is no longer a field that can be used in Tampa. Barnett and Cronk are pretty much leading this to get done.

Cronk has the field he trains on in Miami and it looks like that is where they may do this but I don’t expect all of the draft eligible players to make it to Miami for this.

You aren’t the only one leaving. With the players that I am close with Leaving along with the relationship that I had with CCS from coaching, I am also leaving this site. I am debating on whether I should tell a few stories or answer any questions those may have from the last 3 seasons.

Johnny already has had people try and reach out to bigger programs and schools are not interested in him. for those that are surprised about this realize he is 5’5 and quick but not very fast and you also add the fact that he is a walking headache for a HC and just not worth it. 
 

Expect him to see how spring goes with the new OC before he really makes a determination.

Not trying to contradict you, because you’re right, you’ve been spot on, but why would he go out of his way to defend Strong if he hates him like he did in this instance when he called out Torello 

Johnny is a smart kid contrary to his actions. He knows exactly what he was doing with that tweet.

what if I told you Johnny has been off of suspension for 4 weeks and chose to not play those games because that’s how pissed with Strong he is.

Check my record. Everything I have posted on here has only been facts and never opinion. 
 

Fords been practicing all week and will play Friday. Now does that change his plans for the off season, Johnny is a day to day kid so you never know. I do know that he really hates Strong contrary to what people think. 

He is playing this week

Please stop with the “they must have gave up on the season” crap. Both of these guys are really injured. Sands shoulder keeps popping out of place from just walking and Cronk has a serious injury as well. 
 

I spoke with Cronks dad last night and he told me Jordan is extremely upset that he is injured because he didn’t want to go out like this. Him sitting out isn’t about the NFL or anything, he wants to play and even begged the Drs to allow him to.

To be completely honest a house cleaning is in order. Both CCS and KB have made horrible coaching decisions.
 

It was KB who came up with the brillian idea of having Atterbury play LT. The OL faired better after they moved Jennings to LT but they weren’t great. KB swore up and down this was going to work. I can tell you it did not work in practice. 
 

In all fairness to KB, his system is not bad at all, the issue is he has no feel for play calling. For those that wondered why he was at Valdosta St and Jacksonville U is because his play calling is horrible. Those aren’t my words, those are words from HCs that he interviewed with over time.

Strong gets the most blame for panicking and going with McCloud when he did. If BB starts the games McCould did, there’s three more wins for this team maybe more. 
 

like I said, clean house

For those that participate in the predictions, don’t bet on Cronk or Sands as the leading rusher. 
 

just a little inside knowledge for you all.

Redshirting?

Yes he is. He has said that he will be transferring in the off season. I don’t buy him transferring because P5 schools are not interested in him.

Did you see him throw the freaking football? He’s injured.

I’ve seen him throw in practice over the last two years and it looks about the same. I really wish they allowed reporters to view more practice or open a few practices to the public. He has always had accuracy issues.

What are you basing this on, because he's looked OK in limited time so far...

In practice he is horrible. Please stop looking at garbage time to decide if a player looks good or not. But wait that’s what most people saw of McCloud and not how he stinks it up in practice week in and week out and we’re screaming for him to be the starter. 

McCloud is not injured. His ego is severely bruised but that’s it. Please don’t be surprised that he’s starting because the walk on is that bad.

Regardless if he is or not we need to start them walk on kid. I heard KB was once a walk on and he did pretty well at UF

The walk on is horrible. Regardless they have no choice because players are acting as if they are hurt while others are fighting through injuries all because they are struggling

Yea the dudes injured...he cant make barely a 5 yard pass but in his first few games he looked pretty good passing. And no it wasnt because of who we played...cause now he  couldn't hit an actual barn.

 

I am telling you he is not hurt. I know for a fact.
