Pittman leaving the program (link added)

[Cocky4SC]

What do you think is the reason? Should have had a larger role this year with the lack of experience at LB... Wish him luck just seems an odd time to leave..

We're gonna be thin as all get out in the LB corps.

 

[NooNoo]

Might need to move some folks. Position changes etc.

Agree. Some of the DE's we signed this year are perfect size for LB.

 

[RockThrillCock]

He was a 4 star but broke his leg his senior year. That sucks.

 

[Gradstudent]

Has Nunez ever found his new school?

Not sure but Ga. State would seem like a likely spot unless he's stepping down a division so that he could play next year.

 

[Gradstudent]

Thanks, he seems like he doesn't have a plan, Nunez, redshirt as he learns WR, then changes his mind and transfer out, but no destination in mind

Georgia State isn't stepping down a division. He'll have to sit out if that's his destination.

he said 'unless'

Re-read my post. I didn't suggest Ga. State was moving down a division.

I stand corrected....now go eat another sausage.

 

[freekoffhisleash]

Its being reported on FB that now Jalen Dread is leaving as well.

Are we expecting any transfers in from other programs or late signees? Just seems like odd timing.

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

I've been dreading this day's news.

 

[gamecockrealist]

Two linebackers gone in one day. That leaves us with three (one coming off major neck surgery) scholarship linebackers returning. I guess we will never know why either one of them left We will suck at linebacker this season. Muschamp was a bad hire.

Maybe they were cancers in the locker room or weren't buying into Boom's system.

Yes, we're thin and that sucks a big fat floppy donkey dong, but there's gotta be a legit reason why.

 

[BigTomE]

"It was a mutual decision"... translation/these two were not cutting the mustard and probably wouldn't see the field this season. Either the kids saw the writing on the wall with all of the new defensive players coming in, or they were told by the coaches.

Go ahead and jump off the highest bridge. We don't need "supporters" like you.

He's a better fan than the rest of us because he helps raise the program's standards by constantly complaining on a message board. Oh, and he'll call us idiots, morons, sunshine pumper or some other name in his reply. It's kind of his thing

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

I sure hope there's a graduate transfer or 2 coming in.

 

[NooNoo]

Brad Johnson may have to play lb instead of de.

You also said Williams was a Dawg. Really hard to take you serious and I am no sunshine pumper.

 

[gamecockwrestler]

I suspected he was going to regardless of today's events. Not sure he has the size for DE.

How good would we be at LB if they would have stayed?

 

[cockinaz]

I think this is just part of the plan. In the SEC in order to keep up, you got to sign a full class every year and trim the fat.

Well I sure hope you are wrong I don't like the idea of a SCHOOL treating its STUDENTS like that. If we beg kids to come here and kick them to the curb in a year or two because they aren't as far along as we would like what does that say about us? I want to win and if we have to do hundred dollar hand shakes to get kids here I'm fine with that but let's honor our commitment to them once they are hear.

 

[CockFamily6]

I figure it's mutual or there are other issues. Our program and all others have kids that are on scholarship 4 or 5 years without playing a down and they don't get kicked to the curb. There will always be players that don't figure into game day plans but you need them to be tough as nails on the scout team. Some guys don't accept that role.

In the SEC? That argument is over, our conference is 3rd or 4th best right now.

 

[RaleighGC]

You can end the "trim the fat" and "running kids off" thoughts. Muschamp and his staff came in and gave everyone a fresh start. The entire staff evaluated the talent pool and rebuilt the depth chart. Exhibit A: Running Backs. If it is the case that he is telling folks they have a better shot somewhere else to get playing time and continue their education then he should be applauded for the admirable approach. If he tells the kid I am pulling your scholly well then we have a debate. Personally, I have not read where any player was told to leave under the circumstances that a scholarship would no longer be honored. With all the misses in talent evaluation of the previous staff I expect more departures of this circumstance over the next 2 years. Best of luck to the fellas leaving.

 

[Baltcock96]

Sometimes a change of scenery does wonders for player development. Just look at NFL rosters.

 

[make plays]

Players leave our program because of the continued issue of player development. No reason way so many 3* 4* kids, with raw talent, cant be molded into value add members of the team. College football is cutthroat however there has to be a commitment towards instruction & maturation.

 

[yeah_yeah]

I do not believe that a kid who puts in the work asked of him should ever be ran off. If the kid is working hard but just doesn't pan out, that is the staff's fault (either they are poor in development or missed on evaluation). If a kid doesn't uphold his end by putting in the work, then I have no problem with relocating them. Too many in this generation feel like they should get something for nothing as it is.

 

[rogue cock]

Maybe now we can make a run at this kid:

ROUGH DAY

Jarez Parks
Weakside defensive end
4 STARS
Sebastian River
Sebastian, FL
RR: 5.9
Ht: 6'5"
Wt: 255 lbs
Class: 2017


8
POSITION

118
NATIONAL

23
STATE
Commitment status:
UNDECIDED

Parks showed up at his press conference and was in tears because none of his favorites had room to take him. He eventually landed at Alabama as a gray shirt. which is crazy for a Rivals100 prospect. Not the day he expected.

 

[USC-1]

Help is on the way.
