OL Connor Smith (official thread)

[Honor&Glory]

Said Colerain coach Kerry Coombs: "I got an e-mail from a girl in the Oak Hills band, praising Connor. She didn't know his name; she just said she was so impressed by how No. 77 (Smith) kept picking their guys up after knocking them down."

That's just classic.

You can't knock them down again if you don't pick em up

Smith has suffered a minor injury to his hand during this morning's practice. Update to follow.

 

[Honor&Glory]

Shouldn't be a problem. Smith played his entire junior season with a small bone break in his hand. It never bothered him. I'll see if I can get an update, but it will be hard if he's in Texas.

Connor is fine. Reported injury to his finger was a non event.

Connor will start for the East squad in the AA game at RG.

In the AA game Smith was getting bowled over by Gerald McCoy, the best DT in the country, on Pass Pro.

However, on run blocking, he was driving McCoy back for sure.

Just an observation.

From the Robert Rose thread I hear he had a hard time today. Does anyone have anything to report on the young man?

 

[Taosman]

He played about as expected,but was across from probably the best DT in the country.
His run blocking looked better.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

For now, we know his run blocking is top-notch if he held McCoy in check on run plays. A year our so under coach Peterson and he'll get his pass plocking technique up to snuff, which could put him at All-American caliber.
