WR Albert Dukes - transfer to Valdosta St. (official thread)

[Taosman]

He has been beaten out by others. There will always be compitition for spots on this team.
Nothing will be given.

Roy Hall. Period. He waited until his senior year, and now he's on the Colts. Albert will get his chance.

Roy Hall was given a chance solely because of his athletic ability. Dukes doesn't have any freakish measurables.

I think people are forgetting Roy Hall got PT as a junior. Lot's of it, especially in 3 wideout sets. Anyone remember the Purdue game where he got ran down from behind by a linebacker, or the sweet catch in traffic against Northwestern?

Anyways, from what I've seen of Albert (coachtressel.com, spring game 2 years ago?), I've been very impressed. I think there may be other factors outside of his football ability keeping him off of the field. He definately has great hands, and I think the speed is good enough.

He just may have a shockingly great senior year, where people say, "where the hell did that come from?" Or maybe he just stays on the bench quietly and looks to catch on somewhere in the NFL.

Either way, good luck to him.

Roy Hall brings a lot to the table in special teams, as well as matchup issues. The comparisons to Dukes don't make much sense.

On individual plays, yes. Consistently? No.

Don't forget the crazy leaping grab he had when Texas came to town.

The level of play and competition at WR has been very high and a half hearted or inconsistent effort won't cut it on this team.
The best guys will play and the other guys have to keep working for playing time.
That's just the way it is at Ohio State now!
