Emanuel Ross in the portal

[Yeti]

This one hurts but honestly when you look at it from the perspective of a wide receiver, this year was so egregious that it almost would be crazy to risk that repeating again for the upcoming season. So many things to fix. So it boils down to a risk reward calculation. And the risk of staying is probably too high to overlook.

Yeah, i wouldn't be able to leave fast enough. Or i'd ask them to let me throw the ball, it couldn't have been worse.

 

[CuseBlood44]

Uhhhh, so what exactly happened with him and White?! Two people alluded to something horrible and there’s no discussion about it?

What went down? Why did Fran allow it before he finally canned the coach?

bump. I’m lost

 

[Briancuse]

That was a totally made up rumor based on zero fact.

So gil is coming back?

 

[PAcuse]

So gil is coming back?

Yes

 

[swish7]

What is it with these sob story posts they make when they leave. Just leave already. We dont need a 4 paragraph press release

Drives me crazy

Agreed.

Could be their agents have a PR service that writes the goodbye posts. Its dumb.

I believe it had to do with a stolen chipotle gift card. Everything hit a boiling point with the recent BOGO deal

 

[Trueblue25]

Think cook is back so he’d be 2nd string at best

Ross is going to end up being an NFL guy wherever he goes. Thats my bet

They have to write these sob story, contrite and gracious posts so teams out there don't think they are head cases. It's almost required at this point.

This is funny, but really what happened ??

Rather see someone post their story with just a short phrase..."Hitting the portal hard" ...would go viral lol

After what Ross went through it was a classy thing for him to do. He deserves some grace.

I mean I get it, but we don't grow 4 stars on trees here yet.

Stars don't mean anything once the pads are on.

95% of the posters have no idea what you're talking about.

Great comeback loser… take your troll job back to the 6-4 basketball board

Come on man, that's our hoops team you're dissing.

The same could be said about a lot of other transfer situations as well. Isn’t it possible the kid is classy and isn’t worried about NFL perception? He was to a degree a sob story and there may be others as well. We don’t have a clue what half these kids go through so why make the statement? in the case of Ross he deserves some grace and others may as well. Let them have their moment and move on with class.

It's been talked about in this thread that one of the coaches had a issue with Ross, but only a select few posters know the details.

I guess I'm not one of the cool kids anymore.

Ross is an extremely smart kid. There’s a reason he was committed to Stanford before flipping to SU. He might be our most physical receiver. I wish him nothing but the best.

You're 100% right. If you ignore the fact that Oregon, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Miami, Ole Miss, Ohio State and Texas A and M have had top 15 recruiting classes...and Texas Tech brought in the #2 ranked transfer class this year. But yea, other than that stars don't matter.

Don’t worry, they’ll keep vaguely referencing it

Coach white, that is why he was fired mid season….

 

[batfactory]

if there really was an issue with ross and white, then it mustve been bad citing that white was the only coach realeased mid-season, while erob "left" after the season when the defense had more issues then the wrs

 

[batfactory]

Long story short, he was too hard on Ross and almost made him give up football. Ross had to go to therapy because of what White put him through. And before the clown says something about where I got this information, I was told this by a source on this forum.

yea i assumed white was almost/was abusive on ross (or more)

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

That’s nice but it’s also an outlier. You won’t be too successful of a program, consistently, relying on outliers.

Def appreciate, sort of should be a confidential thing? On a message board? ADR and ty

On a macro basis, it matters because if you have a 50% hit rate on guys that live up to their ratings, the more you bring in, the more you end up with that live up to the stars.
On an individual basis, it matters not.
