I'm going to clarify myself a little bit. I think Fugate is an extremely talented athelete. I don't think anyone has questioned that. They have questioned his work ethic and thats what worries me. I see fans that keep telling him hes the best and he will start easily for a SEC team. This worries me. If he shows up thinking its going to be easy for him to start for a SEC school than hes going to be in for a rude awakening. Hes going to show up and find out hes not any bigger, stronger or faster than most of the kids on the team. However if he shows up knowing hes going to have to put in the work he will be fine. Hes going to have work hard in the weight room and on the feild. He will have work hard in the class room and attend the tutoring. College is hard enough without playing football. But if he shows up knowing hes going to have to improve he will do fine. He does not have any natural ability thats going to make it easy.

Who has questioned his work ethic? His coach...Holcomb...has always said he is a very hard worker. I believe he actually says that no one has ever worked any harder. Second, from what I understand Fugate already bench presses over 400 and can squat over 600. Last, you say he has no athletic ability or talent...are you kidding? This guy is extremely gifted. At the D1 level he will have to work hard just like every other successful athlete, but to say he has no talent is just ignorant.
