That would really suck with Ajay Allen. I’ll admit I didn’t watch the 8 plays he got or whatever last year, but after watching the spring game he looks like a Darren Sproles type back that knows how to read schemes and get North. 3-4 yards a carry in the B1G will setup our explosive players, if we have them.. I can see CT giving Malachi Coleman a lot of catches.
So who will be leaving?
- Thread starter Cubsker23
- Start date
The problem is that the rules don’t let you take a scholarship guy and convert him to walk on status.
Would Purdue be able to play immediately or would he have to sit since has transfered once and isn't eligible because he didn't transfer in thirty day period after coaching change?
Benning this morning seemed to indicate that Ajay had some lingering effects in camp from his injury from last fall
maybe. A lot depends on their meetings this week. Rhule’s staff can be pretty convincing about their plan for a player. Satterfield I think has said he wants play 4 RBs. Is that enough to keep Ajay around? There’s going to have to be some attrition in the back end on defense. That’s a tough one because there’s a lot of talent there. The WR #s are too high too and more are on the way. The guys that are still here but leave after this spring I wish well because in many cases it won’t be because they didn’t want to be at NU.
Yes now he thinks he's the best RB and he's sitting at 3rd or 4th string... And we wonder why he'd be looking at the portal... Again, you've got to be smarter with how you play freshmen, especially letting them start games. Their ego will blow up faster than their abilities.
In some ways I take all of this as a sign of hope. Yes, some non contributors will most likely leave. But as many have said, we are going to need to let go some guys who under normal conditions we would want to stay. But that means that the coaches think that the new guys they have coming in are better than the guys who will be leaving. And if many who are leaving are in fact good players then the coaches must think the new guys are even better. A good sign!
Remember when Bo couldn't even fill all his scholarships? Then there was Frost who would have multiple guys quit before they even had one practice.
We bitched about Bo and his unwillingness to more agressuvely manage the roster, but he at least didn’t have a problem winning 9-10 with his diminished numbers.

One of the new players doesn't make grades
We should get an indicator of some names by next Monday I'd think (if not sooner) after the talks with the coaches. I'd think there would be an incentive for some of them to enter the portal early so they don't find themselves locked out by portal entries from other schools. It's cleaner to wait until after the semester ends but by then spots will be taken already.
But I'm surprised they don't recruit some kids as "paid walk ons" right from the get go.
Brown was playing with the starters and Stenger showed out...I am skeptical on Gbayor too ... dont see Bretz, that burns bridges at Westside
I'm sure you'll think it's hilarious once one of the better young running backs we've had hits the transfer portal. Once again, it was all preventable.
You left off a guy that should probably take a medical even though he’s a talented legacy….
Yes, we can get talented players to stay longer by not playing them. You're a genius.
On a side note, the portal has been open 9 days and Colorado has had 28 players enter since April 15…. at last count… could be higher now
You're distorting the argument. Allen got playing time ahead of Ervin and Johnson last year, and now he's behind them. It's not common that a player, especially a talented young player, takes that news very well.
Honestly, I liked the way that Torres looked. Stood tall, threw a nice looking ball, and actually looked somewhat mobile. gbr

Actually, it was hard to figure the depth chart out. The White offense was the ones (and 3s???) and the White defense was the twos (and 4s???). The Red offense was the twos (and 4s???) and the Red defense was the ones (and 3s???). In a couple cases a two was placed with the ones so they could see how he did with the first string (Grant and Haarburg). So the way I inferred the depth chart was Ervin and Grant were co #1s, Allen was #2 and Rahmir was #3. So I'm not sure Allen is behind Johnson, he might be in front of him. I inferred Haarburg entered the Spring Game as #2, but was on the white squad to get reps with them and Purdy was #3 and Torres #4.

Ahh. People forget we were on self-probation every year under Blo. If only he would have set up the recruiting department he was offered, after Eichorst tripled his recruiting budget after replacing Osborne.
