More Players Out the Door

So, what is with the timing of this announcement. I agreed with Mesa about us not bashing the team during peak recruitment time, but now the team does it to itself!/QUOTE]

PJ Harris was arrested last night. The media was asking questions. They said "Well, he was kicked off the team last week anyway" and the obvious follow-up is "Who else isn't on the team that we weren't told about?"

Best in this situation to drop all of it at once and let it burn out. Unfortunate, but given the situation Harris put them in, probably the best decision.
 
Correct by why weren't they going to play? They were misses. Coaches have to be accountable for misses as well.

Too late to hire Doug Marrone?
OT but I heard that b/c the media doesn't cover Buffalo most of America doesn't know that Doug Marrone is a giant a-hole who can't get along with anyone.
 
This is all a big conspiracy by Rhoads so once again he can use the "we're a young team" excuse. Just keep bootin' em so that excuse doesn't get old.
 
At this point it doesn't really matter. Seems like the program is just going through the motions until CPR is let go at the end of next season.

Most unfortunate news in this is what Harris did...
 
Sorry for not joining the sky is falling crowd. I watched Schaffner a couple games his senior year. This kid is really good. Played in a very difficult conference and earned first team honors. Great hands and a terrific athlete. I'm guessing Leslie saw the writing on the wall. I think Schaffner has a chance to be one of the better TE's this program has seen in a long time.

Carry on with your pity party.

I'm actually kind of upset at myself, for the way I feel about this. This really isn't a bash on any of the players themselves as much as bad for me, as I've reached the apathy point again. No offense to these guys, but none of them were single-handedly going to turn this team around and get us to a bowl game. This team is a wreck and without a miracle, we'll be lucky to win even 2 games next year. at 2-10 last season, honestly, there isn't much we could lose that would really make all that much differece.

So, in a lot of ways all I can think is, good luck to those guys.

I agree with most of this. This news does not change my expectation for this fall at all. I already expected another poor season and for a new coach to be handed the reigns for 2016. If we saw Lazard or Campos transfer, then that would obviously be a different story.
 
Maybe Leslie knew we were recruiting another Power forward from Simpson to play TE for us.
 
These other guys are like... Wait a second PJ gets to leave!? Imma sneak out while I can!

Yep, losing a couple third string players and replacing a junior safety with another junior safety who played well at the end of the season is really making us young and inexperienced. I mean, who the heck will sit on the bench where Lawry and Williams were last season? (No disrespect to those two, just trying to prove a point).

A lack of retention is an issue. How can you ever build quality depth when you are constantly having to replace guys? We are always young and inexperienced. This is why. The biggest issue of the Rhoads era is not recruiting or coaching, it is retaining players. No doubt in my mind that our defensive struggles this year were a direct result of the attrition we suffered the past two years. You cannot lose that many upperclassmen, replace them with youth, and expect to maintain.

Maybe at a high level program that attracts top-end talent. But not somewhere that has to win by developing players instead of attracting them.

What a pure waste of talent with Lawry, I have heard from multiple people he was very good in the secondary but for some reason he was moved to WR.
 
Mutcherson is obviously a big loss but Williams and Lawry had been passed by a bunch of guys younger than them. Who knows on Leslie. Maybe he just didn't gel with the team. Really, out of all those guys, Mutcherson and Harris were probably the only ones who would even play.

Someone said something about not getting guys in on special teams. You play the best players there. If they are starters, so be it. You don't just play them there so they feel good.

Those people are wrong. He could find time over freshmen and sophomores last year.

Just like Harbaugh, who if he didn't take Michigan job they were eyeing Marrone knowing of the contract opt out he had. 8-4 twice in 4 years at Syracuse. 2-0 bowls. & 9 wins for first time at Buffalo in 11 years with Manual/Orton as QB's.
 
Dear Football,

Your sad and pathetic attempts to stay relevant by ******** all over basketball season have got to stop. It's over, dreamy won. We are now officially a basketball school. You are allowed to speak from late August through October and during spring football. The rest of the year belongs to basketball. You may continue to bring recruits to basketball games because lord knows you need all the help you can get. Otherwise, we expect silence the remainder of the year. When you stop sucking we can re-evaluate the terms of our agreement.

Signed,
Clone Fan
