CV Griz Fan said:PlayerRep said:Hermanson was not "over-hyped" last year. He played very well, especially for a true frosh. A post or two on the internet about the NFL is not over-hyping. Feel free to let us know which poster(s) mentioned the NFL, and then we'll comment on that. The hermy badger thing was this year, and was a joke. The sophomore slump comment comes directly from the coaches.
On more than one occasion, the following posters said that Hermanson could play on Sundays-
Gaeilge1
Baller1
MtGrizRule
ENDallBEallGriz
Kramer thought he was good enough to play in the Big 12. Many other posters said that he would be an All Conference pick. All this after his Freshman year? The kid was hyped to no end!
Come on PlayerRep, all you got to do is type "Hermanson" into the search field to see the post history!
Okay, help me out on this search. I see that Baller said several times hat Hermanson would be an NFL propect, although it was in June, not "last year". MGR sorta endorsed the NFL thing once, belatedly. Didn't see where Gaeilge had said he was an NFL prospect, when I put both names in the search. Endallbeallgriz has only 6 posts, and I didn't notice him saying Hermanson was an NFL prospect. Yes, Krammer said something about the Big12, but he was also criticizing Johnson, including for bad angles and bad tackling (Tru has actually made the NFL, so I'm not so sure Krammer's analysis was particularly valid. Again, help us out on this--and support your assertion with better specifics.
If 2 guys on the internet is your idea of hype and being over-hyped, then I guess I won't be able to debate you on this subject.
