Man yall need to stop acting like Grimes is Jerry Jeudy or something. **** Jeff Thomas was better than him coming out anyways. Plus dude has a ****ed up knee and still isn't healthy.
Rejecting someone solely because they didn't choose us initially and a yr later wants to transfer here is definitely not the best move, but I have no problem with that being a factor in the decision to take a transfer or not. In this situation the staff wasn't as high on Grimes as the 247 rankings were, and they clearly aren't too confident in him after his injury. I have no problem not taking Grimes given all the circumstances. Had this been Jeudy that was trying to transfer here though, I think this staff 100% would be all about doing what they could to get him. The fact is they just aren't on the Grimes bandwagon just because he was a "5* recruit"....because to them that is meaningless.
Jerry Jeudy has 5 more catches than Grimes. Jerry Jeudy aint lightin the world on fire currently brah.
Just by looking at the stats and nothing else:
Jeudy - 8 Catches 131 yds 16.4 avg 1 TD.
Grimes - 3 Catches 20 yds 6.7 avg 0 TD.
Plus, Bama has thrown the ball 139 times while tOSU has thrown it 216 times which is like 60% more attempts. Then out of those attempts, tOSU has 141 completions while bama only has 88, so tOSU has more completions than Bama even has attempts. That would mean Jeudy is getting just over like 9% of all completions by Bama, and he didn't play in 2 games.
I'd say these stats paint a story of Jeudy definitely outperforming Grimes, even if it is on only 5 more receptions.
