Totally agree. It’s almost a no win situation. Dabo has his son at Clemson and plays him sparingly. Boheim plays his son a good bit at Syracuse and he appears to be good. It’s probably better all around to have your kid play somewhere else. I’ve coached my sons in baseball when they were young and had to endure the “coaches kid” thing.Yosef84 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 4:11 amI'm all about having as much talent as possible, but there is a part of me also that doesn't like the father/son thing on a team. There's always the potential of it undermining team cohesion and causing resentments if the son winds up starting. I'm sure Roof would handle the situation with integrity but it's a risk.
I get the opinions above and I would agree with them if it was a skill position such as QB or RB where players get the majority of snaps. Defensive positions rotate in and out with far more frequency so I think that it may be an issue but to a lesser degree. There would be some positives to him coming in depending on which LB he plays. It would free up some of our true freshmen to get some work in and still maintain a RS as he would provide depth. But until he announces he is coming to App, it is a non-issuebigdaddyg wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 5:42 amTotally agree. It’s almost a no win situation.

He played in 11 games at Tech and 10 at Indiana.
Sounds to me like he left Georgia Tech when his father left and isn't happy with the landing zone. Let's not jump to conclusions without any actual information about his talent.
I agree. Coach Drink will get the final say if he does transfer to App. With this being Coach Drinks first head coaching position, I figure he is looking at everything.
10 at Indiana in 2018? That conflicts with the info from the OP. He would not be eligible to play immediately if that were the case.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 9:28 amHe played in 11 games at Tech and 10 at Indiana.

The information above comes from the IU Athletic website. My guess is the OP is incorrect.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 10:10 am10 at Indiana in 2018?

Yeah...The article itself has incorrect information. Which raises the question, would he be eligible next year?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 9:28 amHe played in 11 games at Tech and 10 at Indiana.
