Sign Up Now!no question - you're losing a guy who would get 70 snaps a game. Hornsby may never see the field - who knows how he turns out as a WR?not getting either offensive lineman that visited would be a far bigger loss than Hornsby in my opinion
Every single guy we bring in from this point forward means someone already here has to leave. I get that we need to upgrade our roster but I dont like the idea of sending someone down the road on a flyer if the guy you are sending has been a good teammate and done the right things. If you are doing an obvious upgrade for someone that will play everyday then that is business, but if you are doing it for someone that may or may not work then I dont like it.no question - you're losing a guy who would get 70 snaps a game.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but I read this and agree.Every single guy we bring in from this point forward means someone already here has to leave.

This will be a tricky thing to navigate. Every bit of good will that has been gained with local coaches could be lost if the wrong kids get processed. Coaches understand this is business, but they also have feelings for the kids that they have sent here. I am hearing the baseball program has lost some in state goodwill do to the way they have treated local kids in an attempt to upgrade the roster.I hadn't thought of it that way, but I read this and agree.
It's one thing if a guy leaves because the transfer beat him out.
But to get processed in favor of a transfer who might not contribute, that seems pretty crappy.
TeSlaa is gone. He's not coming here. WTF are the Puffs giving out Teslas?

Rhule also retweeted this since yesterday afternoon. Three handshake deals to commit last Wednesday that still stood as of the time of the retweetNever trust anyone who retweets their own tweets.
Wait, what? Who was the local kid who got cut?I realize all those things. What I am saying is you dont cut loose a local kid that has been loyal for 3 years to bring in a project that only has two years of eligibility and has to change positions, something that usually doesnt work out.
We are at the make up hypothetical situations to get mad at stage of the off season already.Wait, what? Who was the local kid who got cut?
Its not hypothetical, we are already at the point that 7 have got to go. I also dont think anyone is mad, I think we are discussing the concerns and when it is worth it and when it isnt.We are at the make up hypothetical situations to get mad at stage of the off season already.
you are assuming there's no one on the team that isn't doing their part. looking at the lack of development, I'd say there's plenty that have been half-assing things in the weight room and/or at the dinner tableIts not hypothetical, we are already at the point that 7 have got to go.

Which is why i qualified it by saying if they are being a good teammate and doing the right things.you are assuming there's no one on the team that isn't doing their part. looking at the lack of development, I'd say there's plenty that have been half-assing things in the weight room and/or at the dinner table
it's a moot point anyway, there will be plenty of transfers out after spring practice
