Duh.
And if they cancel the transfer, they’re back to being on the verge of a breakout season
That's a fair point.. I'm thinking FSU might be bringing them in because they have a history of winning and work ethic... could be a good influence on the younger guys
If Moore said he did not want to compete for the job that's different. However he just joined a P5 school that apparently has a laundry list of DBs. He's going to have to compete to play.
Telling Moore there is no room on the team because of freshman would be like telling Milton to leave because Godfrey or Holman is the future now.
Seems to point to Moore was all but officially kicked off the team following arrest incident. However, either because of injury or Milton vouching for him they kept him to avoid killing his career by dumping him while still in recovery.

Also, Norvell coached against both Milton and Moore, so he probably has a pretty accurate picture of what they’re capable of when healthy.
The freshmen DBs all graded out in the good not great range according to PFF. Every single linebacker graded below average though. That was the weakest link in the defense. Without divulging specific grades (available in the Dungeon) the following were the groups
Good to great
Richie Grant
Derek Gainous
Divaad Wilson
Above average to good
Aaron Robinson
Davonte Brown
Corey Thornton
Justin Hodges
Below average to average
Jeremiah Jean-Baptist
Tatum Bethune
Jermain McMillan
Zamari Maxwell
Bad
Eriq Gilyard
Dyllon Lester
Eric Mitchell
Antwan Collier
Milton and Moore were roommates. Moore was the last player remaining from the 2016 class. If he wants to head to Tally with Milton it makes perfect sense. I’m not sure if UCF tried to persuade him to stay or not given he was involved in the Collier incident.
If anyone can do it, it is KZ. HE would have given DG a run for his money here, which is why he left. Bam, I don't know. I guarantee he needed to do a workout for Norvel before he got an offer. Maybe he needed a clean slate.
As a HC you really need to think long term. I think there was a combination of needing to keep promises to his recruits, promoting players with longevity and the police incident. Sometimes it is just best for everyone to move on to a new place. Awesome for Bam that he gets to compete at such a high level place as FSU.
Promises to his recruits? Isn't the original subject of this thread that freshman shouldn't expect promises for playing time?
Maybe he thought he could transfer to Auburn and play?

No the original subject of this thread is about a WR leaving. I am sure he was given promises for playing time. He and his family had unreasonable expectations of what that should be given the talent in front of him. A HC always has to promise opportunities to his recruits.
If that is the case, all the transfers into the program is more of a problem than having an originally recruited player in the program like Moore play.
I never thought Milton would be a starter for whole season no matter where he went. Even more so at FSU.
What position specifically? I know DG was the top rated player on the team and Marlon Williams was second.
not at all the point of the discussion. 1 player hasn’t played in 3 years with one of the most devastating injuries on the field, and 1 hasn’t played in 2 years also due to injury. neither are known commodities at this point and are going to a “blue blood” and taking up roster spots and scholarships.
Also, Milton is the GOAT, not dead weight.
Nice read. Essentially BAM was cleared to play, and coaches wanted him to play. But didn't want to rush going back and burn the year. And the traffic stop did play a factor. Said the felt the energy towards him from Heup changed. He wanted a fresh start but has no bad blood.

I think what happened to his comrades in the Collier incident may have turned him off as well from coming back. What’s done is done. Time to move on.
just saying this is concerning. ofcourse he will be diplomatic bc he wants to play in the NFL and trashing coaches usually doesn't help anybody.
Whats concerning? Heup changing his attitude towards Bam? I know after reading the events of the traffic stop my attitude towards those players changed
For me, the biggest issue has been the lack of pass rush. I don’t see anyone who has flashed potential to improve that aspect of the team as a whole. In 2017, Shaquem bailed out a bad defense multiple times... we don’t go undefeated without him, same way Milton bailed us out all the time. We don’t have that threat on the D line.
Charlton was my great hope in this area and we all know how that turned out. I like Celiscar a lot and hope he can continue to get better.
Don’t forget about Hughes. Having a lockdown corner freed up our ability to rush as well.
Tennessee's program is trash. 17 guys in the portal. Ole Miss is trash as well. 7 guys in the portal. Players fleeing the SEC because of the garbage conference that it is.
There's no way Hodges graded out good on anything. USF was abusing him in the second half. When I noticed him playing I watched a few plays and he looked lost. I was like,"I'd be throwing at that kid every down until they took him out of the game." Not saying he can't become good or great. He's only a freshman and has several years to work in his craft.
In terms of P5, especially SEC. Tenn has been trash for like 15 years. Ole Miss is not much better.
Per PFF, Hodges graded “below average” vs usf and Tulsa, “average to above average” against BYU, Temple, GT, and Memphis, and “good” against ECU. His yearly grade was in the “average to above average” range. Which isn’t too bad for a true freshman. He made mistakes, but he should only improve.
There was no year to burn...as this was a free redshirt year for everyone.
He would have gone to quite a few schools if they offered him. Best of the bunch.
Ga. St. well, I guess he'll be the starter. A great chance to shine. Ga. St. I mean Ga. St.? (and I actually like the underdogs) Ga St? (trying not to repeat the comments earlier, but GA ST?) I remember when they were of national relevance....... when they hired an ex-Alabama coach as their HC.
Extremely late, but 8 or so leaving is "jumping ship" Absolutely hilarious! You are very fortunate to have not been in "jumping ship" situation. 8 or so out of what 80- 125, whatever a college team consists of, is beyond silly to call "jumping ship". 1-4 key players leave-- "jumping ship"? hahahahahhahahahahahhahahah

Did anyone besides Credle actually “jump ship” as in they weren’t already seniors who just chose to quit playing college football? I guess Alex Harris. The other transfers were kicked off the team. The rest are prepping for NFL tryouts.
