Parker Braun transferring

[gt02]

Btw Parkers reasons for leaving make no sense

What is his reason. Link?

 

[cuttysark]

Wish him well and am curious where he will land. He has a GT degree and will do well anywhere he goes to play his senior season. Perhaps he wasn't accepted into a particular grad program on the flats. I'll miss him on the video board eating an apple as part of the introductions at BDS.

I don’t know if everyone read it but there was a really good post about an introvert culture vs an extrovert culture and how we just became an extreme extrovert culture. It will not surprise me at all if this played a significant role in the decision.
I hate it for the team but I wish Parker all the best

I could see that for current commits - but Parker's got one year left. I wouldn't uproot for a single year due to culture.

What/where are the reasons?

He said he wants a better offense to prepare for the nfl. Um right here Parker

May the option offense never darken these doors again. Spit.

Huh?

Duh?

Weird. Wonder where he lands.

I exspect Austin Smith to step into that role potentially.

Either him or Minihan imo. Hansen has one OG spot locked up.

You are going too have a heart attack when we run an option in the first series of the spring game.

Um what?!!

I'll just leave it at that...

 

[Gold1]

Look, it sucks that one of our best players is leaving but if you aren't a fit with the new culture then it's better if you leave

 

[SOWEGA Jacket]

I’m not gonna cry about any player leaving. I will admit I cried when Kenny left though. Every person should make the best decision for themselves. No different than when Johnson was our coach.

 

[pbrown520]

Duh?

WTF are you even talking about? He's not leaving because of the offense, I don't care what he says to Quinlan. I would be willing to bet that he has some issue with the staff and doesn't want to say it in the press. You can blame the option all you want, but according to your takes all these option players aren't good anyway.

Knowing Parker's sense of humor, I wonder if "I want to go to a school that prepares me better for the NFL" is a dig at CGC's talk of "Our offense will be an NFL style offense..."

 

[smokey_wasp]

If his reasoning is that he wants an offense that will prepare him for the pros, it is possible that he planned to do this all along, regardless and he just thinks there is too much uncertainty here. But I dunno. Smells more like a personality conflict. I don't think it's an option thing. I doubt he transfers to Southern and he ain't joining the military. lol

This one hurts, it really does. He was thought of as the best player on the GT team, and one that i thought had good chance of playing a the next level. With Key coming in, I thought we would retain players like Braun, but he gave three great years!

Congrats to Parker, I hate to see him move on, but everybody should stop griping and stand behind a player who literally moved mountains for GT.

Next up!

Huh?! Sounds like BS

I’m chill. Chill as a cucumber. Look at me. I’m wearing a f***in kimono, dog. What are you wearing? You’re wearing a suit.

One of my top 5 favorite movies ever!

You mean weeding right? I don't know, pulling weeds from my lawn pisses me off because they keep popping up. Annoying as f....oh, wait, you mean THAT weed....
