Think about it: Not only did Mac go out of his way to recruit "The Teutonic Twit", he was even willing to give him a scholie to ride the pine at ISU during his first year. Giving a headcase an invitation to your program is one thing when he can contribute, but how much sense does it make to bring one in who can't even contribute on gameday OR in practice?
I did find it interesting that Fennelly's entire 2008 recruiting class has now transferred. And that included one sometimes starter in Whitney Williams.
Staiger was given a scholarship and then the NCAA made their ruling. I feel that it would have been absolutely reprehensible to pull the scholarship from Staiger and can't believe that you would even suggest it.
The transfer thing is really bad. But ISU seems to be one of many schools suffering from the "Age of Transfer". In the old days it was very rare.
GMac is on the hot seat. No doubt. But at this point we will have to see how it plays out. Very good chance of a change unless a miracle season develops.
