Higher profile transfers get re-rated by 247 when they transfer. Most of the guys we pull in that our fans tout as elite 4/5 star recruits are re-ranked as 3 stars by the time they show up. I don’t think we’ve ever had a 4 star transfer come in. Gibbs and Braun were rated as 4 stars when transferring out.
Gibbs and Sanders are the only significant losses.
Maybe our new OC can actually figure out how to use one…
Thought Ezzard had some potential - never really showed much on the field, though.
Why? We already have 5 on scholarship plus 2 or 3 more walk-on guys. We are running low on spots and need LB's.
These days it seems like most transfers, in or out, are guys that turned out to be less talented than originally thought. It’s rare when a known commodity like Gibbs transfers.
Hard to say that definitely when the guys transferring still have 3 & 4 years of eligiblity remaining. Need Collins to live up to the lip service on the developmental program piece. The physical traits are there for all these guys.
I’m hoping Blackstrain and Blackburn do well. I can’t remember who got hurt last year tho.
We need him to play like a 5 star. Need to crush the gaggers.
It isn’t like we didn’t use TEs. We had a TE on the field 95% of the time with previous OC.
Uh, 3 at minimum who are upper classmen. Now do the same for our LBs.
We had that TE on the field 95% of the time for blocking also. Taking him off going 2RB or 4/5 wide was just inviting folks into our backfield the last 2 years. Hard to utilize the TE when you have to have him blocking.
