I saw that the official site has him as a DB now, so that should quash all the "it's just a rumor" talk over on the dorks site.
i'm just amazed at how off some of these evaluations are
it just says he had a great game......i didnt see where it said he would be an all world receiver at OU
looks like english and eldridge are both back to DE
really? does what they describe about route running and catching sound like holmes from last year?
it doesn't look like anyone else changed positions though they have zaslaw as a running back. fred strong and alonzo dotson still being on the roster does raise some eyebrows.

what i read is that in THAT game, he played well and ran good routesHolmes dominated from a wide receiver position making a number of great catches. He went up with two defenders all over him to make one long T.D. catch and a diving catch on a tipped ball for another. He runs great routes for a kid that spent most of his high school career at quarterback and has great hands.
perhaps against a D/FW metroplex all star game, he might just be able to have done that......ya think?

That's what I was wondering. Isn't that just some doofus like us posting on an ag site?Originally Posted by Harry Beanbag
Either he ran great routes..or the more likely that he ran busted routes and was capable of making adjustments to make catches seem more spectacular or difficult than they should/could have been.Holmes dominated from a wide receiver position making a number of great catches.

I should also add an addendum that this was from what I can tell by that other thread linked here an all star game of sorts. So any routes would have been minimalist at best and freelancing them would have been more likely just due to the nature of how long a preparation period they had.

it was a dallas area (only) all star game....he was likely a man among boys in many respects
regardless, the author of the post in question never proclaimed to be anything other than a casual observer of a football game.....i didnt see where he said he was a paid scout of some sort
it was just an opinion and should be left as is.....besides, Lendy Holmes has 3 more years to make a name for himself. i say we sit back and see if he can......
When did they move Eldridge back to DE? Last I heard he was making an impact at TE...
