'11 NJ RB Savon Huggins (Rutgers Verbal)

[IrishLax]

Funny reading back the comments and people calling out the obvious red flags of someone who is that delusional and me-first. Could've been read as sour grapes at the time... now it seems prophetic.

People say a lot during recruiting that could be true and could be not true. Most of the time we don't have enough information to say one thing or another. I try not to judge recruits' motives, though it's possible someone could dig something up that I've said to the contrary.

It is always interesting to look back though...

"Former star" is right. I can't imagine an FBS school would be interested.

Dodged a bullet on this one.

It's a good thing they changed their Offensive Coordinator to ensure he got more carries....... bet he would have carried the ball more if the OC (Kirk Ciarroca) stayed. Cignetti knows RB talent from NFL to U of Pitt and he even knew Huggins was no star RB. Now Ron Prince (current offensive coordinator) found probably an Athletically inferior RB with a superior attitude and more drive, to award the starting role... Life lesson Huggies not one person is entitled to a thing in this world, you've gotta earn your stripes!!!

The fuck is this... embarrassing how much the recruiting process goes to kids heads.

Correction, more embarrassing is the parents getting behind it.

His high school tape was unbelievable. I think seeing how his career turned out shows just how important character and drive are in comparison to talent. He was beaten out by a walk-on at Rutgers. Stories like this one are why I am more inclined to give Kelly the benefit of the doubt during recruiting. McDaniel, the RB we took in Huggins' class, was ranked much lower, but he ended up being exponentially more productive on the field and a great leader for the team.

If you did not know, Savon hurt his knee in 2011 and I believe hurt his shoulder in 2013. I believe both injuries limited his playing time. In four years Cam has gained 1,113 yards, in 3 years Savon has gained 842 yards and he still has next year to go so most likely his stats will not be exponentially less then Cam's.

Additionally, Savon graduated with an Economics degree in 3 1/2 years. He has nothing to be ashamed of.

Well said, I think this is very over looked in college football today. Not many of these elite athletes are going to go to the NFL. I praise this kid for using his athletic abilities to earn him the opportunity to obtain a college degree and when his football career was rough he stuck it out in the classroom to take advantage of the educational opportunity provided to him!

Wow, is he a grad student transfer already? Time flies.
Any idea where to?
I mean, we could really use an RB... (Not entirely kidding. Mostly tho.)

Could he play safety? Does he have potential?

Exponentially? Really ????

He looks like he is 40 in that pic. Also he looks a little like Mike Yard with facial hair.

Savon Huggins will return to Rutgers to chase NFL dream at pro day | NJ.com

Huggins, who was a team captain at Northern Iowa, had 59 carries for 232 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Those don't sound like NFL runningback numbers to me...

Probably not. Though the fact that Huggins walked in and became a captain speaks well of him as a person. And he apparently actually earned his masters, unlike most grad transfers. Sounds like he'll be OK if he doesn't stick with the Packers. There are worse fates than not making the NFL.

Gonna proactively bump this bad boy. Reading through it, I don't remember the rollercoaster that he had IE on for a while, not that that is too difficult to accomplish

 

[NDVirginia19]

Did he die/did he kill someone? I feel like that's the only reason threads like this get bumped
