Are you talking about before he coached a game? Like before 2008 season, bc that doesn't really count. That's players leaving for a better fit elsewhere. Processing is getting rid of players who play for you, but you don't think they pan out.
We have 25 commits and 13 open spots (I believe). Processing is coming.
That's news to me, that seems higher than I remember. Are you including drafted guys?
Attrition = players with eligibility not returning. I listed out a few scenarios earlier.
This is just a part of the current college football landscape. Some fans think it's a bad thing but players aren't dumb, they know what their outlook of playing is. If the coaches are up front with the student athletes (and anyone would be naive to believe this is always the case) and don't block them to whatever school they'd like to transfer to, if this is the route they choose, its nothing to begrudge.
I'm about to say something that is sure to get me roasted but here goes. Swilling isnt as good as our fanbase thinks he is. If he had a different last name, he would be the subject of a lot of angry message board posts.
I don't think you have to worry about the guy who is 17th in the nation in net punting leaving early for the draft. SMH
Of those 16, only 4 were guys who left early for the NFL (Burnett, Dwyer, Morgan, and Thomas). Five transferred, two were medicals, four graduated and opted not to return, and one faced academic issues. We lost 11 players in 2017, 15 in 2016, 8 in 2015, and 13 in 2014. None of those were guys leaving early for the NFL either, it's mostly guys who left for lack of playing time. As I understand it, CPJ would just communicate to a player that their chances of playing time were diminishing and they might be better off transferring elsewhere. Some call that processing, some don't. Either way, the thing about the ATL chart is that it is pretty clear cut on where you stand in the coaches' eyes.
Totally disagree. Young Swilling is a very good corner, but not great. He’s the best we have especially compared to the other corners. I’m not at all impressed with Walton and Sims.
I agree that he is the best that we have out there. Unfortunately, that isn't saying much. None of them have any ball skills. Two TD passes today were completed right over the DBs heads as they had their back to the QB and made no attempt to play the ball whatsoever.
I see what you are saying and I remember CPJ being pretty Frank, but at the same time he still honored the scholarship if the player wanted to stay on the team despite little chance of playing time. I also don't recall over signing by 12 players, which is the part that rubs me the wrong way. Again I don't know how all the internals worked, but this is pretty blatant in over signing by this amount that we will be out right processing guys.
