Crest has to be no longer with the team, right?
- Thread starter coalcountry52
- Start date
I posed that question about a week ago and got no real response. Seems to be in witness protection.....
If he was on the sidelines, he was not with the QBs. I can't blame him since he wasn't going to be ahead of Grier.
Next year we may be very thin at QB.....assuming Grier will be the starter......Crest likely is already gone, and Chug will probably leave too.
Wish him nothing but the best, however it appears this is definitely Sky's and Griers team (next year)...I hope Chugs pushes him for the spot....only good things will happen then....
Chugs could be the starter after Grier is gone (I assume Chugs would be a year behind Grier still?). We still need depth at that position and we always have that problem, leaning on a player like Millard who could never be a starter for us to be one play away. At some point, we may get a four-year kind of guy instead of leaning so much on transfers. I really don't think that is going to be sustainable for our offense.
If Chugs is the heir apparent , and another isn't recruited in his place I don't see him departing ....jmo . ..
So many years ago now. Feels like a decade, but only 4. Millard technically was a four-year guy but he was no starter. At best, even with Geno, Dana hasn't managed to have a starter longer than 2 years in the system. Geno had two, Trickett almost had two, Howard has had right at two but will technically finish with three even though he didn't start until late in 2014. However, Trickett was a transfer, and so was Howard. That means less time to get acquainted with the system and build chemistry with the team.
Well nobody has seen much of Chugs at all of late...do I personally want to see him on the field??? Not sure...I guess that depends on whether or not he takes the bull by the horns....
Others were saying he would likely leave...where is he going at this or even Springs juncture???
Chugs could be good by the time he's a senior, but I would hope we aren't so paper thin that he's all we have at that point.
At some point, we have to be in the running for a solid HS QB.
OK, that's good, however with the injuries we had last night in the backfield (Shell was out; Crawford got hurt again; and McKoy late), he still didn't see the field. That's not a good sign if you are so far down the depth chart that you don't see action in a blowout and when the top 3 at your position all get hurt. Excuse me for reading a little too much in to this. Crest was a stud recruit, not sure what's happened.
I don't understand what you mean by " the top three at your position all get hurt". Crest is not a running back. Could he be?? Who knows, but he has never been.
Look closer to what he typed. "d backfield" = defensive backfield (not runningback).
I'm not going by what he "typed"....I'm going by the roster on the WVU football page. They have him listed as "QB/RB".....and if you don't believe me, here you go.....

I don't think William Crest has ever practiced as a running back. Sure, maybe some packages where the QB has designed runs like Texas does with Swoopes. But Crest has never beeen considered to be a running back. If we have a need for an additional rb , I would assume we would burn Petteway's redshirt.
Yeah, I've seen that before. Word had came out a couple of weeks ago that they had Crest practicing with the Defensive Backs so I thought you had misunderstood what he had wrote.
You had said that he was so far down the "Running Back" depth chart that he didn't get to play in a blowout. As Dan was saying, they don't seem to have him at RB at this time.
Crest was in formations as a RB, but I don't think we ever ran anything effective. We were just simply paper thin at RB.
A lot of high ranked recruits that don't produce in college are kids who matured early and dominated on the HS level by size and athletic ability alone. When they go up a level they're competing against guys who are older, bigger, and just as athletic, that goes out the window.
Two, they come in with recruits from HS that still have a physical upside, while Mr. Five Star peaked in his Jr./Sr. year of HS. He's close to peaked out when he steps on campus. You can coach him up, but physically he's going to get passed by his contemporaries by his second year in the program.
