Goodbye Rooster

[MarkyMark]

I realize fumbling was an issue but dammit I love his game. Really disappointed that he is leaving. Guy should have had a much better career here. Good luck Rooster.

Parrish
Citizen, who's coming off an ACL and is rumored by some to be transferring
Chaney, who's always hurt

That's all we currently have at RB.

Who said Citizen is transferring?

 

[Rickd]

Would have liked him to stay ... at least until a new OC was announced. Could have been dynamic if he was schemed open to catch in space.

 

[Cane&Abel]

Best of luck to the young man!

there were rumors that manny navarro brought up.

 

[nycane]

SMH this dude was ******* electric under Lashlee. Can we get a new **** OC or what

Stop. He was in the passing game. He struggled in the run

 

[JHallCanes]

Despite the fumbling issues I think someone is getting a good player. He carried the RB room last year despite being used like a FB by Lashlee

Best of luck to the kid

 

[Applecane]

Wasted resource.

 

[rsa coral gables]

they didnt watch the unc game last year either. hes not a every down back. hes a weapon and one of the few explosive players we have on the roster. when in the right role, he can be extremely effective.

agreed he is not an every-down-back, but that's all we had last year and he did a good job, notwithstanding being instructed to run into his own OL's back from time to time

 

[GojiraCane]

FSU bound? They were his runner up previously.

yeah people are so certain that we’re telling new recruits that our scheme and OC are being changed but yet our top playmaker leaves to the portal

Hopefully it’s unrelated to our fears of no drastic changes

 

[PSU Cane]

I thought there were posts late in the season that Rooster wasn’t looking to bolt on the team, the coaches stuck with him and he recommitted to the program - as if things were good moving forward. Obviously something changed or that was complete ****.

Another player loss..and yet POS Gattis remains..

 

[Marcelo2988]

This is a bad depth loss.

RB room is scary thin right now.

Same thing at S and CB. Hope we replace these guys with some legit talent

 

[MovingZen]

I liked Rooster.. best of luck to him. That being said, I'm ok with the roster turning over drastically.

 

[TXCANE4]

We have players leaving but no coaches….

 

[ADELPHI]

Another player loss..and yet POS Gattis remains..

Gattis is not going anywhere. Welcome to our nightmare.

Right now we don't see any new offensive RB commits ... so some news would be well received.

Portal work would also be a great.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

No need to hate on the kid. Most people here were calling for him to leave.

He looked good in Lashlee’s offense as a receiving back and he flashed next to Brown at QB, but I don’t judge his decision to leave and hope he finds success at his next stop.

Where is the hate?

I don't think it's a good decision. Thad is leaving, Chaney/Citizen are coming off of injuries. With a new OC, Rooster has an improved chance of proper utilization.

Going in the Portal? Yeah, he's not landing at Alabama or UGa. With the limited amount of time to evaluate/visit, he is taking a risky chance of finding the right fit/utilization somewhere else.

Sure, the IDEA of "getting a fresh start somewhere else" is romantic. The reality can be very different.
