Instability, uncertainty, and lack of leadership. These kids want more football and less drama. I cannot blame any of them for seeking it out elsewhere. Hope this helps.bularry said:Loaded4Bear said:No, that is not the reason.BellCountyBear said:

Because they've figured out they aren't going to get any playing time.shosgd said:

You act like we are the only school that has players that leave. It happens at EVERY single school.RealLarryDon said:
So Rhule's staff's talent evaluation process can't identify prospects who meet his "demanding" style," in spite of football camps, campus visits, watching games and video, and talking to HS coaches? That's a concern in and of itself.
I'm always amazed at how a few people in this thread are the first to bark on NSD about how this kid or that kid is a "diamond in the rough," even though their offer list suggests otherwise. Then the minute that person leaves the program it's the "oh, he would have never played anyway."

Hall
Artis
Davis
Harris
Lewis
Harris hurts the most of that group. Hard to find quality DL. But he and Lewis made poor decisions at the wrong school. In this environment, it may not have mattered what school they were at.
In the big scheme of things, could make way for the next Jalen Hurd, James Lockhart and Jake Fruhmorgen or at least open up some valuable scholarships for the 2019 class.

Unfortunately two of those transfers are not even football issues but T9 issues. They got delayed just like Blanchard for so long they were forced to move on or be stuck in T9 limbo.
you know this from their direct words to you, or is this your speculation? You might be right, but I'm curious if you "know" for certain what you are saying.Loaded4Bear said:Instability, uncertainty, and lack of leadership. These kids want more football and less drama.

I think having kids leave after one year is a legit criticism. But it certainly isn't unique to Baylor and I do think a couple of these were kids that knew they were likely to play much, if at all. wish them all the best.RealLarryDon said:

They were discouraged after they raised the height of the Li'l Tikes basket 2 inches.

It is a sign of the times. Parents are allowed to move their kids from public to private and back to public schools until their kid is the starter/superstar.
I believe that this is going to be a common occurence going forward. Kids get into the program and quickly realize that they are not going to be a starter or get much playing time. Instead of working harder to improve their place on the depth chart they go on down the road to another school that shows them some respect.
If a kid is good enough and has a good attitude I can guarantee you that the coaching staff will do everything in their power to pump the kid up and retain him.
I'm glad that we are purging those that do not want to be here, do not want to be a part of the rebuild and would likely be a discipline problem in the future anyway. If a kid does not want to be a Baylor Bear we need to have a packing/moving crew on staff to get their @$$e$ out of school and off campus immediately.
This is nothing new. Players threaten to leave every year. They have been doing this for years. For all of the outward confidence and showboating most are scared $h!tless due to competition. The difference is that now society has made quitting and starting over somewhere else easier to do and accept.
It is a cog in the "Participation Trophy/Juice Box Era" machine.
Happens everywhere, in every program, every year. Nothing to see here...move on.shosgd said:

Now that's funny right there. Mid October will be a good time for evaluation. Well, maybe, after the first two games. What's going to be the battle cry if the results of the first couple games is marginal? The chatter could really get interesting.BaylorBJM said:BBWCBear said:

Do you touch yourself every time you type "Lil Matty"?

Sure they're in the "two deep." They aren't starters or first reserve but they can cover kicks, punts or give a good practice look. I'm concerned.
