Mitch dont know shit

Sorry but that absolutely played a factor. It boils down to effort, commitment, and relationships. Allen has the look of a guy that wasn’t 100% committed. His old position coach was let go, on top of the fact that he was a late commit in the first place. Then add in that the new staff is big on relationships and effort. All of that together led to a kid being unhappy and possibly having outside influences swaying him further. You can’t tell me that a kid in college doesn’t see and hear that video and have it not affect him.

I guess I don’t know what’s controversial about thinking something was up after that moment. I was his age once and did things 100x worse than that, so I’m not saying this to demonize the kid. But, it’s early during the first spring you have with a new staff, which amounts to making a first/early impression, and during the limited time media is allowed to spectate you have a “difficult moment” like that? Having such a limited ability to overcome frustration that early in spring ball for a small window of time doesn’t put us in a position to “know what’s happening,” but if someone is starting to crack that early it probably isn’t a great sign, especially if they later find themselves buried on the depth chart.

I know Mitch isn’t making a good faith argument seeing as he is building a straw man by overstating the point that’s being made, but still.

As soon as I saw that video I knew Ajay Allen wasn't hanging around. I also believe I said that if the media wasn't there Barthel was gonna mother fuck that kid. He was saved by the cameras.

He fucking had that attitude when the media was there, how much better could it have been when 1000 cameras weren't rolling.

Agreed. It seems to me that is part of the grand problem Frost had. When he did recruit a talented kid he would put up with this kind of effort and attitude and play him but on the other hand would dog house another kid. I trust Rhule and in this case, Barthel, that they won't put up with it. You have talent but don't want to meet the standard? Good luck in the future, we will find someone else.

Frost: Don't leave Maurice, I am sorry. You can do what you want and play on Saturday.

Not only did he do it, but he did it knowing that the press and cameras were there. That is pretty telling to me.

And he also tweeted out that he wasn’t “one of us” after it was announced he was transferring. He never had the right attitude with this staff. He stuck around expecting he’d be #1, and there was no way this staff was going to crown someone before they put the effort in. That conflict compounded and it was just a matter of time.

Mitch is a dbag sorry farrrttt

Wait really?

Did he delete it, if not, post it please. I could no longer handle Twitter and got off of it. That place is awful. Pretty much all social media is not good for the human soul. I fvcking hated reading people and their commentary. Some people need to earn the right to interact online.

One of the very few things that this staff has in common with the last staff is the love for Gabe Irvin. Both groups have talked glowingly about him. The only way that happens is if you are a great culture/locker room guy, because it's not like he has a ton of stats/film that say he's a star. But the coaches like what they see in his approach to the day to day stuff.

Ajay was an Applewhite guy. His big daddy left and he couldn't get it going with the new staff. Gabe on the other hand wasn't recruited by the current staff but he knew how to assimilate. It is a life skill few appreciate. Ajay is talented, but needs to learn that things change and proving yourself is an ongoing process in lots of different aspects of a career. Rahmir seems like a similar dude to Ervin who has tried to slog through with 3-4 different OCs and 3 different HCs and just keeps plugging away.

I want to think he was probably referring to players who took the retirement package, but who knows.

Yeah I think that’s regarding retirement package but with that said he clearly was not #OOU

I still see it as a direct reference to OOU. “Them” ensuring that there is not confusion that he isn’t a part of it.
