OLineman Tre Johnson leaving the program

[Gatorhater]

Somewhere along the line we need to cut back on attrition. Getting rid of deadwood is okay but having so much of it and not hanging on to usable depth is deadly.

I wish TJ luck. I think we all saw this coming. He was supposedly a great kid, just not talented enough, like the other 99.9% of us.

When you look at our roster, there aren't too many JAGs left. Even Dwins has to be shaving down his list now. Richt and staff did add a few, but overall have done a remarkable job upgrading.

JAGs: Milo, McCray, Martin, D Harris, Finley, Polendy, Weldon
Key contributors who wouldn't be offered when Miami is Miami: Langham, Rosier

What was the deal there? Did he even suit up for spring?

No he didn’t participate in spring ball this year

 

[TRick72]

Wish him well, especially if he manages to take Bar Milo with him

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

I wish him well. But, it has zero impact on the on the field product.

Why leave though. To me, this departure makes little sense unless we don't renew his scholly.

This is a guy who will go pro in something else. He has college paid for at an elite university. Why transfer to play more?

He just tweeted a few weeks ago that he would be a first round pick. Sounds slightly delusional.

Ask Pfenninger. I think the reason is these kids play their heart out for 3 years only to ride pine, which has to be incredibly frustrating. Even if they're not good enough to play meaningful game time at Miami, they want to have that game experience because it's their last opportunity of their lifetime.

7 (8 including malek retiring) out of 18 are gone from “swag 16”
That’s pretty bad

Did that year come with an asterisk? Was it Richt's first year?

But @apfenny graduated from the U. He was not on a football scholarship either if I am remembering correctly.

For guys who will have to work a real job, getting a top 50 degree from a school like the U is "securing the bag."

I can't think of a worse decision than Tre J transferring to Alabama State or Georgia Southern or something. Maybe one of the players can fill me in. Bar Milo again showing that intelligence

 

[BeastMode]

Let's see: (2) WRs are morons, Captain Jack to his pirate show to the inbreds over in West Virginia, Jovani H. thought he was Jimmy Graham before even stepping foot in a game, The other DB kid couldn't attend class to save his life and was hooked on the devils lettuce, James' cousin/nephew should never had been a take. who am I missing?!?

Who was the DB on the lettuce? Can’t recall.

 

[FrancisSawyer]

There aren't many UM caliber guys on our current OL

Sad but true.


We are however, moving in the right direction. We just need to move a little faster.
