We need high major talent from scholarship 1 through 13. The McDermott years should remind everyone of that.

it just seems like some players just decide to transfer once there is a little competition...
I mean Sledge knew about Bubu and all the transfers this year.... did he really expect to play....
Edit: I can see Fred telling him that he should look elsewhere for PT like ISUArgonomist stated.

I don't like it. That makes it sound like Fred looked out for the young man instead of making the young man off to be a coward.Quote:

Can't say I'm surprised, best of luck to him wherever he ends up.
Really? If he would have redshirted this year, he would have been able to transfer without sitting out a year?Quote:

No, that's not what I meant if it came off like that. What I'm saying is, no matter what Fred did with him this season, redshirt or not, he'll be a redshirt sophomore when he's eligible to play at his next school.Quote:

Don't you think that was the point of the 4 x 4-yr players that we signed for 2012?Quote:
