Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Kizer opts out.

Gilchrist makes sense but Kizer pussing out kind of sucks. Soft Pete player. Time to see who's better between Yary and Redman and get them in there.

    Kizer played a little last year and had some good blocks but the walk on guy seemed to get just as much play and was somewhat of a pass catching threat. With 3 guys coming in and Culp moving to h-back there's not going to be playing time for everyone.

    Kizer had back issues

    He’s a senior with no long-term football future

    Likely would be passed on the depth chart by both Redman and Yary

    That's a good point. Forgot about that. But the article I won't link said it was primarily for COVID reasons.

    Yes ... opting out because of COVID

    But in the case of both Kizer and Gilchrist both players with no path to playing time and no future in football as a player ... easy decision to opt out IMO

    Isn’t that pretty much the excuse for everything?

    Their future reminds me of TCU's future in college football.

    Why make a proclamation greater than needed?

    Can opt out without losing that eligibility and future scholarship ... don’t know degree statuses but probably wise to not say you’re selling the couch until the degree is finished

    It’s like a restaurant that is temporarily closed. It’s just a matter of time before it closes for good.
    Unfortunately true

    Why opt out and not just quit? Are they coming back next year?

    If you’ve got no future in football, I think you’d either quit or say fuck it, I’m going to enjoy my last year playing a sport I love.
    If you have no future in football and are getting a free edu why not get going on your masters next year. I know it some what affects our numbers but I'm all for the kids getting theirs in this situation. If our upper campus doesn't care, only seems fair. Also, this happens when your pitch is "top 5 or 10 school in the galaxy"

    Blame it on COVID and you have the option to play again next year without losing eligibility if you so desire. Blame it on back issues and you’re donezo.

    No reason to take the option off the table if you’re not 100% sure.
