Deion Walker

Axl Rose · Aug 12, 2010

I didn't see him in any of the videos or line ups for the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd string on blueandgold.com. Anyone know if he was there today? Also is there practice tommorow?

jason_h537 · Aug 12, 2010

Deion Walker is running with the 3rd team and i believe he was at practice. Just hasnt been able to crack the depth chart

Ouch. Poor Deion.

Give a try at DB?

BestBIrish47 · Aug 12, 2010

His injury a couple years ago really has hurt his development

I agree! A move to safety would benefit everyone. I believe he played some safety in high school and was a pretty decent player there.

he ran the ball as a running back in the rodeo drill

Never have I seen a guy come in as a 3/4 guy and disappear like this- its been strange

He's got 3 years left including this season. Gallup was moved because They needed help at DB and he wasnt going to see PT whereas Deion still has time

True but couldn't that time be used to develop him as a safety where we lack depth and athleticism. Deion already has good height and speed. He just would have to add some weight.

Is Deion a little like Allen Iverson in that they both don't like talking 'bout practice and may not give their best effort?

I see they are from the same region in Virginia....it makes me wonder.

Ultimate Penn St. Hater · Aug 13, 2010

Who said he wasn't giving his best effort at practice? I think the Allen Iverson comparison is garbage.

I disagree completely junk! Where's the stretch?

Look, I'm from CA, and so was Jackie Robinson. Therefore, I'm a great baseball player and a great humanitarian. I play soccer in my free time, and Landon Donovan is from Southern California, so therefore, I'm good enough to play for the LA Galaxy.

I really don't see what the problem is.

Irish Man3 · Aug 13, 2010

Not the best comparison. IMO it wouldnt be the right move. Walker still has a lot of time to develope and three years of eligibility. Usually a drastic move is only made out of necessity. BK said today that after moving Gallup and with the way Wood has come on, that he is happy with the secondary and its depth.

ACamp1900 · Aug 13, 2010

People talk about Deion like he's a Senior who has never seen the field... the dude is just now starting his spohmore year... give it time.

How long did it take you to conceive and type that response? Just how sore are your tongue and cheek?

A 200 mg Ibuprofen placed between the cheek and gum should help.

Junkhead · Aug 13, 2010

Wait, now I get it! Like Michael Jackson, I'm from Indiana, so we are both....nevermind.

Rocket89 · Aug 13, 2010

Of course it's a stretch, I was only being half serious.

I don't know if the kid isn't practicing well or if he tries hard or not. I do know that there are players on every team that could be like that, though.

It's weird at how talented he is and how he's been virtually invisible for two years and through three springs.

He's still nowhere to be seen. Where is Deion Walker!? Seems like he's gonna be another Kallen Wade...

It appears that way!

rtrn2glory · Dec 15, 2010

Too bad...pretty hyped out of high school.

Really thought with Coach Kelly's receiver friendly offense he would be a little more productive.

Can't buy into the hype of everybody I guess...the joys of recruiting, just like gambling sometimes.

woolybug25 · Dec 15, 2010

Just rewatched some of his high school highlights. WOW.

I really thought this kid was going to be better than some of the other WR recruits. I figured he would be starting by now. I really am stumped on why his talent hasnt translated.

IrishMoore1 · Dec 15, 2010

looks like he's sorta working...although I'm a little weirded out by this recent video of him:

Rocket89 · Dec 15, 2010

I haven't watched his high school film in a long time, but from watching what little we've seen out of him in spring ball, B&G games, and with a couple appearances during games....doesn't he seem to come across like a bulkier possession reveiver a la Duval Kamara?

Walker was known to have a great combo of size and speed but it seems like Kelly wants receivers who are deadly fast (Toma, Jones, Riddick) and not the bigger guys with good speed (Walker & Goodman).

It sure is interesting.
