No complaining and repeat, there is no way our line can improve from last year. It is kinda like transcendental meditation. Just get into the echo chamber.

You must have missed my multiple posts stating how awesome this class is and how I think we'll be improved overall

You are just being a negative nancy again Bearcatman. Everyone knows this recruiting class and our starting OL next year are inexorably linked.

Signed, dudes who complain CLF can’t coach by game #4. Lulz

Jalen Greene Transferring out...
I wish the young man all of the best.



I guess this opens up another spot? I'm sure the signing of all of the new RB's and him being buried on the depth chart has something to do with it?

The RB depth chart is cavernous.

I don't think this departure will open up anything for us for 2018 based on how the rule changed this year but I could be wrong.

Correct. No effect on 2018. I'm guessing the writing was in the wall. Might not be the last.

Perhaps others try another position

It could open up a spot for a walk on who has been here 2 years. Doesn’t impact the 25 new sets of paperwork per year limit.

Ben Hutch decommitted as well.

That was destined to happen the minute he didn’t qualify

Not sure where else to put this but I heard Marquese Taylor has transferred as well.

Yup. Happened a couple weeks ago so he could be closer to family. I know it was on the board somewhere.

He was a starter by year's end...that's a significant loss. Here's hoping we can get these freshmen up to speed early, but that's playing with fire at DB.

Penn State transfer CJ Johnson will be a likely starter at one of the corner spots. He was in the two deep in Happy Valley.

Yup, and I'd bet the other spot goes to one of Marquese Smith or Koby Bryant. If Arquon Bush is all he's being billed as, he'll push for time too.

I may be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that Koby was likely going to get a look at safety.

I think you're right. He is listed as a safety on the official roster.

I'm just saying, I would rather have a guy with experience on the field than rely on more guys without any...I think Bush is going to be special and Ward is going to be a good player as well, but they're still true freshman and neither enrolled early.

Question - is there a site that keeps track of the "comings and goings" on the team? I am not currently a member on any of the pay sites, but is they did this, I might be more tempted. It is really easy to lose track of these guys.

The thing is, it is not just who you recruit and sign. It does not matter who you sign if they don't make it to campus, or don't stay once there. We have been moaning about the attrition of TT's recruits. I would like to see Luke held to a reasonably high standard.

Hadn't seen the Bryant shift. I agree, whether it's Smith or Bush or someone else, it's gonna be rocky given their youth and lack of experience. Losing M. Taylor is a setback, no doubt.
