Kid's got some pretty nice wheels and he blew a lot of people over in the video, his line didn't look to be doing much for him either. Looks like another great pick up coach!

Great quickness! In addition to being a good looking running back, I bet he could dazzle em running back punts/kickoffs too

LOL...basically just a link to 247Sports

How much are they paying this guy to copy and paste? Don't have anything against Crenshaw but UAB athletics deserves better. Maybe they will hire somebody by football season. I won't hold my breath.

sad

How quickly we forget that we loved Drew for compiling screenshots of Twitter posts.... I appreciate Crenshaw for doing his job and reporting information.

He did it to provide context. Drew also talked to these recruits over the phone, you know.

I agree that Crenshaw is doing his job. And that is waiting until another article/press release comes out, taking a couple of quotes out of it, and then providing a link to the original source.

Also, Drew worked during the most anti-media era of UAB Football history. McGee and his football staff were NOT media friendly.

i hated those articles

Reminds me of Rashad Slaughter. Narrow and quick.

On the other hand, there was some abysmal tackling going on in some of those clips.

The man the myth the legend Drew gives his two cents in the comment section of the article.

"chose the Blazers over offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Cincinnati and Temple."

I'm surprised we haven't seen the "Temple didn't really want him" post here yet!

including his subtle jab at his favorite ex head coach

I hear he has been training with Bob Stone in the offseason

Wrong sport, now basketball on the other hand.

Temple didn't really want him.

Zing!

I did too. I gave Drew a pass on those because he did well at other articles, but the twitter summaries were basically phoning it in.

Hopefully, he sticks...
