Speculation: Ter'ran benton likely gone or maybe staying?

Ter'ran's facebook status: "Good chance you won't see me here next semester.":sad:

This is unfortunate news

This is going to be a 6 foot under rebuild.

 

[bawbie]

frankly, if there were players here because of Chizik and not because of ISU, I don't mind seeing them go.

We need players who have pride in their school and not just their coach.

 

[CycloneErik]

Sounds like he's coming off the ledge, and he's open to staying. Who knows?

I don't know what world you live in but in major college sports, the players almost always go to the school because of the coach, not the university.

He is going to think it over christmas break, and do whats best for him after discussing with his family. dont jump on his back

 

[cyismydog]

Talked to him just now, said he has a lot of thinking to do, but may stay at ISU because he loves the fans so much.

Why are people saying good riddance? They were not put in a good position and it is NOT their fault. Blame the person whose fault it is, not the person thrown in a position they weren't anticipating.

I thought Benton played well for a freshman. Hope he stays.

 

[ISUFan22]

Please, please, please - no more "X player is leaving" threads. Lots of confusion by the players - much can change.

 

[Drive4cy]

I get so tired of hearing fans on here jump on the backs of players who are considering leaving. Good grief people, they're going through a lot. Have some respect for the situation.

Right. This is a pretty new experience for them, and they're learning how to deal with it on the fly.

This was probably a better deal before people used the Internet so much. One lesson you hope people pick up on is to stay away from Facebook and other tools like that before they've calmed down.

 

[tim_redd]

Give the players some time. They'll overreact and say things right away just like everyone here has.

 

[CycloneErik]

I'm with 22. It would be good to delete these threads when they start.

Folks, don't stir things up with these. It just gets people riled up when it's not necessary.

 

[MontyBurns]

Let's not overreact. Most of the players may think about leaving but once we get a new coach and they get an idea of where they stand, most of them will end up staying.

Frankly, it sounds like you don't know much about the college football recruiting process, and the Father Figure their Coach can be.

The players come for the coach at a place like ISU, and build pride in their school and teammates over time. Their coach has abandoned them, and ISU must do it's best to take care of these kids until a new coach arrives.

We need to support them, not put them down.

 

[ketelmeister]

We want players to stay...and JP needs to get a coach and get a good one quickly. 33, would getting a Gill or Hoke take care of player attrition?

Yeah, thats well said.

He is now, "**** happens for a reason. Just have to deal with. If I go I go, if I stay then its time to build a real football team"

I hope he and LJ stay.
