I know just win but college football is fun because you get to keep tabs on guys for a couple years then watch them play for a couple years. Keeps it fresh and always just enough stability to make the program have some continuation.

The way the system is set up now is for countless mercenary 1 and dones popping into the program for a year then gone. There's alot less connection when you haven't watched players work their way into starting roles and I feel like that's a very important part of the sport that is potentially being lost

Thanks Nacho!


I’m not going to pretend to be upset DeBoner is cleaning house. Winners win.

I actually read the article and found a different DRFS article where he listed who left and where they wound up.

Out of 31 guys, only 2-3 are worth being upset about and that’s Latu, Covington and Redman and I’m being generous with Redman.

Everyone else either wasn’t here long enough or didn’t do enough.

Totally agree, it has a NFL feel to it. If you have a role/position to fill, go out and sign a free agent. Business ball... What separates college is the local connections, and rivalries. If it's just about improving draft stock and getting to the league as soon as possible might as well start watching the AFL/XFL. DeBoner is doing good about whynotboth.gif come play and have fun, win games, make memories in college, get developed, then go to league

Here's a cut/paste of what level UW couch sales transferred to. 17/31 went lower level or out of football completely. And of the 9 who went to another Power 5 school, Latu is counted and I don't know that he's a normal transfer due to UW medically retiring him.

FCS 5
G5 5
JC 1
Out 6
P5 9
TBD 5
31

And here are the numbers by position:

DB 3
DL 5
Edge 3
LB 4
OL 3
P 1
QB 1
RB 4
TE 3
WR 4

If only I had skills like @TheChart, I'd make this look nicer but I'm too busy eating nachos to care.

Something I read on the DRFS article I pulled this from is that Megwa is a walk-on at Oklahoma so you might as well count that as a lower level transfer as well.

Oregon's 31 surprised me. Either Cristobal recruited losers, or Lanning is driving everyone away

I can't believe Josh Pate is fluffing them.

Lanning seems relatively likeable for 20 year olds I doubt they hate him

Kids can spot a fake

Not saying Lannbo is a fake. Yet

The telltale sign will be if the Ducks are playing in this year's Sun Bowl and their longsnapper hikes the ball 15 feet over the punter's head.

Definitely a big asterisk on Latu ... the medical retirement is what it is ... always blows my mind how you can't get cleared at one place and then get cleared somewhere else

Probably depends on how/if he ever sees the field

Why not both?

Also note the same thing happening at ASU under Dillingham
