I took it as the scent of a decaying corpse. The scent starts wafting a while after the body dies.

The Duke return, mane. That was mind blowing. (Referring to Hester, not the multi-lateral one.)

i think you’re correct - his score got flagged and the ncaa rejected it. - hester in an interview says it was the UF recruiter who called in the flag. the ncaa ended up dropping the objection a year later, iirc. but going on memory here - i don’t think he had his score (later challenged) on...

We'll just disagree. Hester had his career. He never displayed evidence he was a Smith level WR. Woulda coulda shoulda ... dint.

You think he would be a better WR than Jeudy or D. Smith at Alabama? I don't. And other than D. Smith, WRs don't win Heismans. The last WR before Smith was Desmond Howard, IIRC. We'll see what the NFL thinks. Also, no HS kid with Hester's academics signs anywhere today until they qualify...

Agreed. He had no instinct for CB. He was all about what he could process and do with the ball in his hands. People got so lured by his physical ability they projected him incorrectly. Yes, he was fast. But he was 100% a genius at processing what other players would do in reaction to him.

If you're point is that Urban Meyer would have schemed to get Hester the ball in space, then you're 100% correct. He could have had a much more impactful college career -- on offense. Trying to make him into a DB was a dumb idea, IMO. But Coker didn't scheme much for anyone. Coker's epitaph...
