3rd team. Remember how excited we were when we landed this 4 star. Good luck to him. Hope he does well in life. I was just going to pose the question to the board on how many guys hit the portal yet this week. Seems like there will be some quiet retirements coming over the next few months.

Technically I think some guys could wait most of the summer before announcing. That might let them cram some free summer classes in towards graduation.

I think they keep a scholarship towards attaining the undergraduate degree should they decide to leave football. I believe that it's 10 slots when a coaching changed has been made.

Yeah I forgot that. In that case they’ll probably just disappear off of the official roster

Had high hopes for him. Kind of a tweener due to his lack of size.
That's being polite. He looked like he was 160lbs after 3 trips through the training table. I think he injured his shoulder early on and maybe that hindered his development.

Another Frost 4* bust.

To be fair though, I think pretty much every recruit from Airzona that year was a bust.

Guy rode the pine for 4 years. Either win the job, play special teams/help team or move on to a more appropriate level of football. Don’t ***** about your standing in year 4. Total whiff

While it may be assumed it relates to playing time, I could easily see where it has little to nothing to do with playing time.
But I would be curious to hear more from her.

Kid did not pan out so it is the coaches fault. Which sucks for everyone and I am sure he tried hard and did the best he could. Fisher did not strike me as a coach that would not play a kid that was good...so more than likely he just didn't do that well.

But I would still love to hear more! The gossip is fun! Ha

There’s all kinds of things, but something as simple as this could burn bridges real fast-

coaches: “we’ll always be here for you even after your time here is over”
NPG: “hey coach could you help me with portal process?”
coaches: “….. (crickets)….”

Guess we have a ton of bad coaches out there all over the country because every fing program has players who just don't pan out.

Not a good look for NPG. I assume he's not getting much attention in the portal and this won't help at all if he is..
