Leo Blackburn

It's my fault.

This is correct.

God hates me.

Two for two.

...and now our most promising WR out.

Not so fast, my friend. Pretty sure everybody is forgetting about James Blackstrain.

James Blackstrain: Rated as a four-star prospect by Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN … A member of the prestigious ESPN 300 list … Tabbed as the No. 38-ranked wide receiver in the nation and the No. 32-ranked player in the state of Florida by ESPN

This is a huge bummer, and sucks for all of us - but of course no more for anyone than Leo Blackburn himself. Dude has never really gotten to play at the school he came to school to play football at.

I did appreciate Coach Key's remarks at the Spring Practice press conference yesterday, where he said something about telling Leo it was good news because he can now go get a Master's on GT's dime. Guess you've gotta find the humor in everything, and hopefully Leo is finding ways to do that.

It was the other knee not related to the previous injured knee. Watson when he was the quarterback at Clemson had two knee surgeries and this was the same theory people had about a genetic weak knees. Since his two knee surgeries he hasn’t had any more problems, well not with his knees anyway.

I hope this theory works for this young man.

I'm optimistic about Blackstrain as well, but Blackburn was was the one everybody was in awe over at practices and in HS. Blackstrain also got injured last year so he's still coming off that too.
