Ryan should know with the relaxed transfer rules, kids are constantly being recruited & re-recruited. Washington was looking for a little reassurance and having a freshman, who became the solid #2 option, asking about his role, should have been a red light.
Yeah I bet coach doesn’t even know about these transfer rules, lol. Maybe you should give him a call and provide your much needed insight. Heck, he might even bring you on staff for rules expertise.
He lost his best OL. He lost his best cover corner. His best RB sat out. His best WR sat out and now his potentially best receiver is leaving; so I’m sure he’s familiar with the transfer rules. I’m simply saying, the old adage in business is it’s cheaper to hold onto an existing customer than to have to track down a new one. Again, all of this may have been necessary, but in sports, the results will play out on the field.
Although I hated to see the above mentioned guys leave, I submit that we may have gotten upgrades over each with the offensive lineman and DB transfers from Michigan State and the WR transfer from Arkansas. We also got an offensive lineman from TCU that can play multiple spots on the line.
We may not like it, but these new transfer rules have created a new norm and our coach and program are simply part of that new reality. I am confident in our staffs' ability to manage the situation.
It's going to be tough. Losing your three quarterbacks, no running game, no legit #1 receiver, 4th center for 4 years in a row. We're now hoping to win 7 games next year. Even though we won 8 games last year, the team played horrible in 3 of the wins.
