Hope they’re passing their classes and on course to graduate, because right now Terrance Carter looks like the only one who will get to keep playing ball as a true professional.
For most of these kids, its not about more playing time. Its not about moving up a level to prove you can make it as a professional athlete. Its a 100% business decision.
Lets be honest. How many ever thought that Chriss would play in the NFL? He had the potential to be a very good QB at our school. Never NFL talent.
I do not blame any kid one bit if he wants to go make $200k or whatever at another school. Its how the world is today. I want kids on my team that love the game and have passion for the sport.
I think we see how well our WR payments are paying off right now. How much are we paying Dale Martin or Charles Robertson or Landon Strother? All I know is that they played their asses off this week when they had a shot on the field.
A good AD would make a board in the Athletic Center where all the athletes go to at least once a week, showing what kind of stats transfers have done and where they have ended up. Just showing them how green the grass really is on the other side.
