Beau Sandland (Montana St.)

5 Rec, 156 yards, 2 TD's today vs. Cal Poly

Nice day for Beau. I've always wondered what went on with this situation.....very weird.

When he left miami he was telling people he wasn't good enough to play here
 
He struggled in blocking, which is fine. He was recruited to block a litte and be a pass catching threat. He had mediocre hands and couldn't block well. He got passed up by Stand, who had great hands and a big blocking body and Clive was a beast who could block better than you would think and had hands and speed.
 
Classic case of a kid with above average FCS level skills but subpar FBS level skills.

By all accounts a really good kid though. I root for his success.

his hands are fine. he caught the few passes that were thrown his way. so don't know where people are getting that bs analysis. i think his problem was not knowing the offense.
 
Wasn't athletic enough. It was apparent pretty quick.

He looked like a monster on his JUCO tape, which is a good reminder to always consider level of competition.
 
Watching Him in the 2013 Spring Game, I recall Him knockin' somebody's block off either after a catch, or on a block.
In any event, I thought He was good enough to play at UM...but judging off that Raising Canes piece that they did on em', He seemed outta place in Miami.

He has stated that while at Miami the players did not help him but actually would give him bad information causing confusion and hesitation. While at Montana State the players have helped tremendously.

Actually, he didn't get along with any of the players. One of my best friends was a TE at MSU when Beau was redshirting. He has the talent, he didn't have the support. He's in a better situation for him right now.

I didn't hear that but both things can be true IMO. It also could've been a cover up for him to say "I'm not good enough to play here" to people as a valid reason for leaving rather than tell teammates and staff he was getting along with the guys.

I do not agree with you on his talent. I do not think he is a Power 5 player

Plenty of FCS guys in the NFL. He looked pretty talented to me. Sometimes, guys just don't fit in for whatever reason, and things don't work out. He'll get a chance to impress this year and then we'll see if he gets a look in the NFL. If he does get a look I think that would clearly dispel the talent angle.

And you know what? I'm ******' fine with this. Clinton Portis berated Willis to the point of tears because he wanted to be the man. If he was stronger of mind and body, he would have figured out a way to make it. Nice to see he's doing well at Whatever The **** State.

I feel the same could be said about Michael Wyche. Honestly believed he could make some kind of impact at the nose. Maybe I was reaching due to our problems there. Hard to tell with jucos.

Sandland had competition at TE and just lost out and transferred.
