Advice from Alterraun
Tennessee Titan Alterraun Verner, the former UCLA DB, is in Los Angeles and stopping by practices. He had some words of wisdom for Dietrich Riley last week, and Riley was all ears.
``Taylor Embree made a nice juke move on me during team period,'' Riley said. ``(Verner) pulled me aside and said, `Hey. Be more controlled when you're coming fast to make a play. Settle down and read the guy. You've got the talent. Just be under control when you're coming to make plays.'
``Coming from Alterraun Verner, he's a veteran. It's an honor for him to pull me aside. He could have let that play slide by and not say anything to me. For him to say something to me, that meant a lot to me. He's someone I look up to. He's a great player and a great role model and a great guy.''
Is this considered a minor NCAA violation? Verner isn't a coach. Why post if it is?
how could this in anyway be confused with an NCAA violation?
AV goes to school there, so it is not a violation.
"Hey Riles, anytime you have an opportunity to significnatly impact a tied SC game where all the mo is yours and you let a pick my 9-year-old niece could have grabbed slip thru your fingers... man up like I did!"
AV is the man.
