It's time to develop new QBs. Don't need to log jam that position.
I will never understand this point if view. If Ingle Martin could stay another year would we want him to leave for us to “not log jam” a position?????? If we had Armanti Edward’s would we want him to leave to free things up?.. basketball - I wish Bothwell and Slawson were still here. Good analogy there. They stayed and we had our best year in FORTY YEARS. There is proof. Same as football last year. Many stayed. We had our best year in over a decade !!
We should always want the best players to stay. I wish Huff very well and hope he got some money. No ill will towards the great young man …
But the argument was made by Jackal and others that Huff in second year with learning Ropers system would be better than Huff in year one with Roper. Well, similarly, Huff in year 3 would have been even easier and expanded the playbook even more. Now we will probably simplify the playbook a little for a new qb.
And I hope we do great! But no doubt a third year starter knows more audibles and is a more proven commodity - and what a winner!!! - than a new starter. My take.
I do agree with this assessment. Would've been nice to have Huff one more year, but the kid has been in college for 5 years and has 2 Furman degrees. I think the best decision for him was to move on.

Still can’t confirm if Ivan Yates left…. Hope he is staying because our d backfield lost almost everyone. And apparently has been a weaker point in practice
Anyone know. Bueller ? Yates gone or staying ?
Neither of them are on the roster so I think it is safe to assume they have left.

Repping the <F> on 1/21. Not on rosters @ Delaware or Buffalo - only 2 offers he shows on X. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks FUBeAR. Right. I guess I’ll assume he’s gone but hope he’s still with us

Unsurprisingly, it appears we are looking at depth at DB and OL, the two areas of greatest attrition this offseason.

Could be a really nice pick up. It’ll be a good competition this fall for those safety spots. I’m wondering if he might slot in at the spur spot? Caleb Williams and AK Burrell seemed to be in line to start, and with no obvious starter at spur right now, could be a good spot for him.

Jalen Tate played in 34 games at Safety for Georgia State. So, he's got a lot of playing experience in the defensive backfield.
I suspect Tate will contribute a lot on defense, compete for a starting spot, and give us more flexibility.

Students are free to transfer, coaches are free to transfer, professors are free to transfer, the president is free to transfer.
It's freedom.
Masters only fear the freedom of the servants.
Sluggo.
