Myles Farmer

This goes into the 'unconfirmed rumors' cateogry but I heard it was nothing super-big, it was cronic stuff like being late for meetings and not following up on things he was expected to do.

If this was simply about being 'beaten out' during Spring Ball and 'seeing the handwritting on the wall,' why didn't he hit the portal back in May?

When I hear about the nature of his infractions, It's hard not to scratch my head and wonder what the heck is going on with Farmer? To me, it feels like a player who'd been coddled by the previous staff because he was a starter and was finding the new staff wasn't putting up with his prima-donna behavior anymore.

As we're seeing, Rhule runs a tight ship so he's seen this kind of behavior before at his previous college stops. It was before the portal but he responded by sitting their butts on the bench and playing younger players who had 'gotten with the program' even if they weren't as talented. He knew it meant he'd suffer some short-term pain. But as much as I want to win NOW, I respect a coach who'll make the sacrifices necessary for the long-term health of the program.
I read somewhere that he may have flunked a drug test. He may just be a party animal and not willing to give up his vices. Or he may have some hurtles to clear with the NCAA. If that is the case, he may have trouble finding a new home.

It was pretty clear Farmer wanted to be a me guy - not a team guy.....some me is OK if you can handle your basic responsibilities. Farmer being late to things and possibly failing a drug test - pretty clear he was heavy on the ME side. OK to push him to the Portal and take that elsewhere.

That's the majority of them. I'm sure there are others that we'll be reminded of before the end of the 2023 season.
 
After my previous post in this thread about the door still being open, I noticed that Farmer is now in the portal.

It hurts in the short term, but this could develop into a watershed moment for the program.

The walk-ons and non-starters are seeing that there is one set of rules for everyone, rather than rules for stars and rules for everyone else. Bravo!

Those in bold, yea, these types of players can quit and the team will be better off.
 
Perhaps these comments should wait until Myles actually goes to another team. Sure, he’s in the portal now, but he may withdraw his name and then show that he is willing to do the things the staff has asked of him.

Having said that, my apologies if I missed an announcement that he has picked another school!

Good point - but I think chances of that happening are slim to none....and Slim just left town.

Don't like it that no other players/coaches bow down to you, quit.
