Possible transfer situations

[appst89]

So. Much. Hyperbole.

[ASUFan4863]

WR seems to be a likeable guy who will provide depth, buy-in and answer when called upon. Very much like Tyler Page this past season.

Safety played with Pearson in HS. Will compete for a role here, which is what we need - more competition.

DL is a big guy with 3 years left. High reward/low risk which is 95% of people in the portal.

People should realize we aren't going to get 4 and 5 stars galore. I am pleased we are attempting to address some of our biggest needs.

On the DL guy, I don’t know that I categorize him as low risk. In truth, anyone with 3+ years of eligibility is risky in that you are on the hook for a scholarship until either they exhaust eligibility or they decide to leave. So if a player bust, you have wasted a scholarship.

***I'm really confused about this one. Can't see him getting any playing time at all, unless I'm missing something.

An elusive slot receiver with blazing speed — which Scoobie Ford most definitely is — is always in high demand in our offense. He’ll make us better.

I hope you are correct CA.

What questions are we allowed to ask? Since none of us understand, are we allowed to ask anything? Or do we just have to take whatever comes because we don’t understand?

If we are allowed to ask; I’d like to know what went wrong, what’s being done to fix it short term and long term how it never happens again. 6-6 can never be acceptable regardless of what reasons or excuses are given.

The Sunshine Squad will never allow such questions! You must always blow sunshine, smell roses and throw pixie dust. Anything less is shouted down.

Who is the “Sunshine Squad”?

Certainly I would be on that list - App91, Black Saturday and a couple of others at the tailgate back in the day honored me with the Title of President of the Lollypop Guild

An elusive slot receiver with blazing speed — which Scoobie Ford most definitely is — is always in high demand in our offense. He’ll make us better.

And with him coming from Miss State under Mike Leach, I’d bet he is a very solid route runner. He was on a team with a lot of WRs, a few of which are NFL draft picks. So the fact he got any playing time at all would make me think he’s pretty good.

Especially going from a walk on to a contributor. Speaks volumes to work ethic.

You forgot to include his blocking skill set on up the middle run plays.

I guess if you don't lose your mind, scream for changes and want heads to roll when the team goes 6-6 that puts you on the Sunshine crew

Seems accurate.

[yosef69]

I guess if you don't lose your mind, scream for changes and want heads to roll when the team goes 6-6 that puts you on the Sunshine crew

And if you think there are problems with the coaching staff and team you “get off on our team losing” and “aren’t a real fan” and you are “a moron.”

Nobody denied there are issues. You just think the only way to fix them are to clean house. Others, some with actual knowledge, know that's not the case.

There are ways to express concern without being negative about everything.

But what do I know? I'm just a PR wing of the football team

This response here is what others are talking about. “Actual knowledge” is so condescending and unnecessary. It’s a message board, not journalism.

Guess you don't see that "some" word. That means some, not all. How is that condescending? Not my fault if you read too much into it. As you say, it's a message board, not journalism. I can only type. You take that as you will.

But again, there are ways to express concern without being a negative Nancy about everything. It's not the expression of concern that makes some (again, not all) a "moron." It's the inability to understand there is more than one solution.

It's simple. He was offered a P5 job. He never even flirted with it, but the extension was to keep other offers away. The extension also lowered our buy out. The BOT was only on board with the extension if it lowered our buy out. I can't remember exact details or dollar amounts though.

Also, he fixed a lot of academic issues. A lot of stars didn't feel the need to be students. Clark wasn't about that. Other off field issues were also addressed (minor things).

He (and Watts) also made tremendous headway on balancing the classes. This season is doing even more work in that regard. Between Drink's inability to recruit and the super senior years, the classes were extremely out of whack. Successful G5 programs can't compete with unbalanced classes (although, that's a little different now with the transfer portal).

That's extremely fair and I appreciate your insight. But do you get the I am worried that we will go 7-5(6) and we keep going like this because we made a bowl game?
