Geebrr Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Grant is a borderline “must have”. He may not be an every down player - but he is a game changer. People discount elite returners until you don’t have one. They aren’t that easy to find.

That’s wrong. He started all his games as a junior and sophomore ar Maine at right guard. And he played at 4 different spots in texas as they had a rash of injuries and inconsistency at ol. But you also swore he was up weight when he very clearly dropped from his college time. https://goblackbears.com/sports/football/roster/liam-dobson/4743 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the same scenario again. It won't be that exact situation, as he was in the building with Walters a week or two ago - but I do think it's done and just hasn't been announced.

He has an extensive film reel from his junior year at Maine on YouTube. And he’s only playing RT in Maine. You probably read the article about his transfer to Texas State where they talked about his versatility to play anywhere, but if you again check the film reel, he’s only in at RG.

Stickem Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Dobson is very athletic for a'big' man....He sure looked physically capable when he dunked that basketball and tracked down an opposition db on a pick at their goal line....This guy fits the description 'manimal' and glad he's on our roster Edited January 21, 2023 by Stickem Tracker, Piggy 1 and Bigblue204 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know. The Ken Lawler situation is heating up. Sounds like 3 or 4 teams want to take a run at him with free agency so it looks like some dumbass GM will pay him in excess of $300 grand again when it's a fact paying big money to receivers doesn't win championships.
