Ive heard within the last few days some smoke around these guys. I was at a gathering where Sean Callahan was speaking and he said he had heard some things would be coming out over the next few weeks that could be interesting. When asked about the Pickering/kicking situation and Spielman overall......he basically responded with "no comment, next question" to each.

My thoughts are if we are losing Pickering it could be due to lingering health issues and would make sense with the sudden influx in kicking recruiting. The Spielman situation caught me off guard as I thought we were past this issue.

Look forward to any insight that can be gained. Thanks guys
 
Pickering may be health related as you speculate and probably makes sense if that is the case.

JD....let's wait and see. I don't see how a transfer helps him get to the NFL. Maybe at Clemson/bama/LSU - a big name school - but no way would he be the #1 guy at a place like that. And he won't qualify to play immediately - correct?
 
The attrition we have experienced over the last several years needs to end. It is probably the biggest contributing factor to the 4-8, 4-8, 5-7 seasons.
 
If Spielman bolts its a stab in the eye of the supporters for a players (alledged) right to transfer. If anyone thinks that bald headed creep or boosters is not meddling with our players or it wont happen with others is just plain stupid.

No its NCAA rules allowing it. You do not get better if your best athletes transfer out. Kids need to be held accountable or if a college takes a transfer via portal they have to give up a draft choice, oh wait.

No, the rule is one thing, players WANTING to leave is the issue. And there has been an atrocious retention rate over the last 4 years.,
 
When you rebuild, you often have to remove the old to buold the new.
Not hard to get your head around?

If there were not the current rule they would not even likely think about leaving but we have a rule that allows it so they consider it an option....sorry your wrong about this. Most of those leaving were malcontents as I understand it anyhow.
