You know, if they don’t want to be here it’s better they go ahead and leave. I don’t get it but I suppose it’s a thing.

Pretty soon the rules will allow transfers on a weekly basis players will just roam around

Looks to me like the more they move around the more they are moving themselves out of bigtime CFB. You need to land some where and make a showing IMO or I'm not interested in you if I'm a CFB coach.

A player does does not need to qualify for grad school to continue playing if he takes courses related to his major.

Well, that's what the program said. I remember because our coach brought it up in our weekly meeting after the game. Whether he actually was that big is a query, but he sure looked like it out there.

If that's what you remember from a program, I'm sure it was mostly correct. I just never realized he was that large.

Yeah, this is not good for them, IMO. The habit of chasing $$$ or not wanting to put in the time to become proficient is not a positive attitude. Knuckling down and climbing the ladder one rung at the time builds both expertise and resilience.

Tumbling tumbleweeds speak to a lack of rootedness. Do players no longer have any need to set down roots or is the soil not conducive to them putting down roots?

I am not a big believer that human nature has suddenly changed. Therefore, I tend to think this epidemic of restlessness has a cultural/social basis. And I suspect that it is not sport/NCAA specific. This has a broad social basis.

Another important question is whether the upheaval represents a pathology or just a social evolution?

Rootless, they're drawn hither and thither by the root of all evil.

I think it’s human nature to be wanted. Or as Erma Bombeck put it: “The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank.”

Wow the last thing I ever expected to see on a Georgia Tech sports message board was an Erma Bombeck reference. That was exceptionally well done!!! Bravo. (though my favorite was "If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What am I Doing in the Pits").

Then there’s her tombstone.

Lewis Grizzard, I presume??

Pretty solid offer list on his HS cycle.

Length and strong freshman performance.
Me like.

Seems like a solid pickup but so did 2 or 3 players committed from portal a few months ago and now they have vanished. Hard to guess who will actually be there at kickoff in the fall

Looks like he took an OV to Illinois, took an OV to UNC the following weekend, committed to UNC a few days later, then flipped to Illinois 5 weeks after that.
