I could be wrong but it’s my understanding that this was the last media access of the season for the players (unless we make a bowl game). Yes they could have been asked earlier in the season but makes most sense to ask at end of season or as close to that as possible which is this week so I have no issue with the timing.
You can definitely see how the NLI and transfer portal could be the death knell for some programs as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Will some schools continue to compete in bigtime football just to get a check but get destroyed on the field and lose good players to other schools?. Maybe it will work in reverse too. Good players buried on the depth chart at a powerhouse will leave to play at a school with more opportunity for them. If it goes the way that the spoils only go to a select few schools, I'm out and will follow DI-A and D3.
We need Diamondi Ferri. Does Tucker play DB and return kicks?
This really does hurt. The kid almost leads the nation in rushing on a team that has no other weapons except a running QB. Teams do not have to defend the pass and Tucker still gets yards and big gains. I would like to see SYR and Tuck make a statement Saturday. 250 yards and 4 touchdowns. Put that in your piehole Doak Walker voters.
Don’t disagree. But this stuff is absolutely light compared to say hmm the $ec.
I laughed so hard at this I am crying!
Well, you’re a feisty fella aren’t ya? Not sure exactly what the supposed board narrative on Tucker has to do with me being sick of underachieving is, but sure I suppose.
You really think these booster would continue to go under the table when they could get a bunch of clout from publicizing them by signing them to as or sponsorship deals?
That's not really how the portal works. It's mostly guys who weren't happy with their playing situation and will end up moving down a level, maybe laterally. Sure there will be some guys move up, but I don't see stars like Tucker using the portal. What's the point? These kids go to college to give them the best opportunity to get drafted. You think Tucker would take a chance at his draft stock to play a year at Bama? No chance. People getting all worked up for nothing.
You think he automatically gets the starting job at a Alabama or Ohio State type school?Would be a gamble is what I think.
That's how it is all over the country though. Even in 2018 towards the end of the year we had a really nice crowd vs Lville. We don't need to do a lot to get fans back. Just have to win.
There is absolutely no way Tucker transfers for no reason. Take a look at the portal. I would say a very small percent entered the portal for the reason people are specifying. It's not a smart move. He already attracted NFL scouts. Playing for a different school will in no way enhance his worth. Other than improving on pass blocking, i would say Tucker's value is already established, and there is little he can do to improve/decline where he would get drafted after next season.
And even if he would, he would likely splitting carries. Here he is our superstar and everything basically revolves around him. He goes somewhere else, he's the new guy in town and has to prove himself there and you never know what happens. His family seems grounded to me and don't think they would make that mistake.
Sean has to do what is best for him, regardless what some people here think. This is a new world in college football.
I don't disagree. I wasn't giving my opinion, just clarifying what I thought another poster meant by his comment.
See post #147.
They caught wind that our small union, local 1 of 1 was scared that we might get replaced. They then started asking (telling) us to do things outside of our job scope and eventually even working a COVID in processing tent. To summarize, they knew we wouldn’t grieve anything because we were happy just to be there. We gave up any leverage we may have had.
