The number one reason non-athletes in the south transfer is because they didn’t get into the fraternity/sorority of their choice (I can’t cite it now and I’m not looking it up). Not saying that there was never a family member on their death bed, but sometimes “close and far” are not exactly distance related.

-City versus country
-Sun versus Snow
-East coast/West coast
-North and South
-same time zone/3 time zones away

All of his schools are PAC-12 schools. I have no problem with that at all (then again, I wouldn’t care if they were all ACC).

You're the kinda guy that wouldn't care if a kid lied about his little brother in San Diego dying of 3 different forms of cancer, got all the condolences and well-wishes from that crew of dupes in our fanbase......and then transferred to Virginia Tech.
And you’re the type of “guy” who would rather hold kids at Miami who don’t want to be there. Also, I’ve never believed that schools, conferences, or the NCAA should be able to restrict where a kid can go to school and I’m not starting now. No student-athlete should need a release to decide where he will continue his education.

Oh, and one more thing: I wish him well.

I literally JUST said in THIS thread that I don't want anyone that doesn't want to be here to stay. I just don't need the lies on the way out as these kids try to save face or create false justifications.

It's people like you that derive some sort of self-worth in constantly sending meaningless thoughts & prayers and empty well-wishes that even creates an environment where a kid sees the benefit in lying. You're probably one of those clowns that sees no issue with the local kids that blatantly disrespect Miami on Signing Day. A "God bless all the young men no matter what they decide" type of dude.
Oh, wonderful! You can deduce from where I derive self-worth. How’d I get so lucky? Well, you can’t, because you’re just another insecure keyboard cowboy who gets butt hurt when the world doesn’t agree with him. Unlike you, my self-worth is not tied to signing day. LMFAO. and I don’t see it as “disrespect” because a kid chose a school other than Miami. Play anywhere they want, IDGAF. Especially for a kid who didn’t play much at all. Don’t really care about THEIR reasons, I move on. But you, and those like you, lashing out - on message boards, and calling kids the worst of names, because their choice is just another dagger into your helpless, worthless, powerless life. Be better. Grow a pair. Make real money. Take control of your sorry life.

And, God bless all the young men no matter what they decide...you ****** *****.

Take your meds, Sally. That went from zero to a DBC level of a psychotic episode too quickly.
 
He didn't like getting schooled by Garvin. These 5* recruits can be flakey. They expect it to be easy.

sounds cool n all and maybe makes u fel better but the fact is...he and Garvin dont even play at the same spot.

Go get a everytime Garvin sat at that bench DJ saw that love.. You could see the jealousy in his eyes.. go watch New JACK City...Remember when g money got mad when shorty was clocking Nino because he was the man.

DJ was mad.. I'm not losing sleep.. he didn't do **** here but if he blows up like Arthur Brown did at kstate then I will be ****ed.

All the cats who downvoted my posts are under 25 bet.. They've never seen New JACK city. lol

Meds? You’re definitely projecting, dearest. I’m laughing at you.

Rock-a-bye, baby...and I downvoted you, too. And, it was BECAUSE you used NJC. LOL.
 
You can't be losing former five-star defensive linemen all willy nilly and not replace them with another. This isn't good news.

If he goes to Arizona or Washington I call BS. 12.5 hour drive from UofA to Sacramento & 12 hours from UW to Sacramento. Unless hes rich & will fly home every chance makes no sense.

I'd like to know the outcome if he had Garvin's snaps. Maybe he felt slighted by the local less recruited kid getting meaningful snaps while he rode the pine until he maybe got a few garbage times snaps. Im going to assume DJ never wasnt ever asked to play that roll.

Wish we took care of business against the cupcakes on our schedule instead of letting everyone hang around. Even if he was making plays agianst JAGs it'd would have been a huge morale boost & fights through his personal adversity.

His logical choice would be Sacramento State.


Well UC Davis is 10 miles away, but he isn't going to either. He will end up at Arizona or Washington

He wasn't a 5 star anywhere and him transferring shows his lack of maturity. Reminds me of Sentrel Henderson who was suspended constantly and went home at random times because he was homesick. Usually those types don't pan out.
 
I left Miami to go to college in California. Obviously I wasn't playing football. But family members view it differently than the student. I can emphasize that from experience. I felt immediately at home out there. And to me it made no difference where I was, because it was a plane flight back, as someone posted earlier in this thread.

But I got some pressure: "We only see you twice a year now." That type of thing. Constantly. To close family members the plane flight aspect doesn't matter. They want you within a one-day turnaround. They want to be within the same time zone instead of 3 hours away, where communication realities come into play. My mom didn't like the fact that she couldn't call me as soon as she woke up, because it was 3 hours earlier where I was.

I'm not saying that stuff was the tipping point. Who knows? But it caused issues within my family. I stuck it out. But I had several East Coast friends at USC who transferred and moved back close to home. My friends who did leave always did so within the first 3 semesters. I can't think of anyone who lasted longer than that and then departed.

Very interesting.

Thanks for the perspective.

**** happens at um all the time with non-athletes because, let's face it, it's a polarizing city. there's no indifference to this place. you either absolutely love it, or you can't stand it. every freshman class has a ton of kids that leave because visiting for a weekend and actually living here are way different things.

What you're describing in general happens at any school that draws its students nationally and internationally. Your description of the rationale (or lack) is pretty spot on as I even remember one dipsh!t my freshman year at UM that we had to convince to stay because he was going to run back to "Strong" Island because he missed his high school girlfriend sooooo much. He later found out she was banging half of Hofstra when he went home for winter break.

The only caveat that may be different with your perspective is that you originated in Miami. It's very "special" here with kids still living at home until they're 28 years old and the parents actually wanting that. In other parts of the country (at least in the past) there was a great deal of shame and angst if you had to move back home post high school and college breaks and most parents actually celebrated kids moving out.
 
sorry, but if you're a 20 year old man who need to leave college because you're "homesick?" .... then you are the world's biggest ******.

get a clue and a life.

my 14 year old kid is half way across the country at boarding school. if I told him that the reason DJ left UM to go back to California was because he was homesick, my kid would laugh his *** off.
 
Felt and said he was leaving when he took off for personal reasons. That crap doesn’t happen unless there’s a death.
