Some of you root for things like Jake Smith transferring just so you can bitch about Herman. It’s pathetic. There’s nothing substantive on this thread, and I’m not sure there’s ever been any legi

LOL, when they leave they were a "wasted scholarship dude who would never amount to anything." But when we get one, he's a "sleeper all-American type, who's a highly underutilized superstar in the mak

Maybe he should catch better. Maybe not fumble punts. Maybe run a route that isn’t fucking embarrassing on film. Then maybe he’d have a legitimate whine and he’d see a lot more field.  I’m as ant

So apparently this guy is playing college football again

He wasn't eligible.  He's a depth WR for ASU now.  Not good, not bad.

ASU basically overhauled everything once the good players left after the NCAA stuff and took in a bunch of formerly high end recruits as reclamation projects.  He's been kind of ok.  Xavion Alford and Prince Dorbah have actually been pretty damn good for them.  Clayton Smith too (OU but from Texas), though he just got a babyshit soft targeting that's going to keep him out of the 1st half of the Utah game.

Some dudes just need a clean start.  It's kind of a trip watching dudes that weren't panning out elsewhere be kinda nice in Tempe after watching Daniels, Pearsall, Wilson, Gentry, et al bounce (understandably, NCAA shit). 

I hope Jermayne Lole gets some run for you guys.  He should have gone pro like 3 years ago before the neverending injuries.  Totally different player than he was 2019 and 2020, but hey.  Still plugging.

Yeah, I heard his name on the broadcast and thought surely that can’t be the same Jake Smith…good luck to him though.

I liked Jake. I thought it was a loss when he bolted. In retrospect perhaps not so much.  Good luck to him.  He had talent. 

Really? All I can remember is dropped pass after dropped pass. Granted, he could have improved as the years went on, but he looked like a very raw WR which didn't align with his 4* recruiting ranking

I remember expecting him to look like a young Jaxon Shipley and coming away extremely underwhelmed.

He wasn’t dogshit, he got plenty of playing time as a true freshman. He was just overrated by the services and our fanbase. 
His routes were underwhelming, but he was shifty enough out there.

injuries also took their toll on him. Thank goodness JWhitt salvaged that 2019 receiver class.

Get these clowns out of CFB good grief. Get a job.

There’s also that tight end playing in his 9th season at Miami. People can talk about living the dream and the college athlete life all they want, I think after about year 6 I’d start to feel like a loser.

I look around here and, well, that seems unlikely.

My boys still give me grief about "just wait until you see this guy!"

To be fair, his HUDL was basically 7 minutes of long touchdowns. I remember watching it with my father-in-law and we both came away convinced that he was going to be a star

Yeah, that shit is embarrassing. Pretty sure he’s got more stats this season than the rest of his career combined.

Get used to it.  Some player will sue the NCAA for Right To Work and the NCAA will fold because the case will be likely unwinnable.
