Why?Not good
Why?
He hasn't played in two years.
Liked him coming out of high school but not sure this is a huge loss. I'm sure we will be fine.
Not everyone develops. IMO when you're playing the development game, there will be a higher percentage of kids who've tapped out and you can't get more from, no matter who is coaching them. And you won't know that for a couple years.Perhaps it's really no loss at all, I don't know.
But if we're going to be a development school, we can't keep saying all losses are no big deal because they didn't play their first 2 years.
Yeah I have to think some of this is based on conversations about their future with the staff.Just remember, signing day is tomorrow and some of these cats know whose coming in and who isn’t

I think it's going to be difficult to find 15 more scholarship players who will be able to contribute next year & the optics certainly look horrible with Syracuse leading the transfer portal cup with a coach that has 5 losing seasons in 6 yearsI agree, it's just that none of us really know.
I'm sure the coaches know which transfers they wish didn't happen, and which ones they really don't care about (and maybe even encouraged). I hope this one is the latter.

This is the position we see the most injuries/players playing hurt at besides the OL. We’re not recruiting well enough to keep up with the turnover in experience, even if just 1-2 years of non contributive. Atkinson was a prospect the staff was excited about.Why?

It doesn’t look great optically, but of the 17 scholarship players that entered the portal, probably about half would have been contributors with Taj the only likely starter. Sharod did start this year but he left a lot to be desired. Most of the defensive players were chronically injured.I think it's going to be difficult to find 15 more scholarship players who will be able to contribute next year & the optics certainly look horrible with Syracuse leading the transfer portal cup with a coach that has 5 losing seasons in 6 years

If we get 6-8 out of the portal that are DL/OL heavy and a couple of skill positions, we’re probably ahead on the trade.
