WVU transfer Tykee Smith

No, the only power he has right now is that he is trying to delay the signing of the release and he says he is "negotiating" with Gary Patterson. But he has no negotiating power because it has to be signed eventually and there is nothing he can do to stop it. I would love to hear what Patterson is thinking about this.
Patterson will probably write a song about it
 
Didn’t riley have a qb go to wv last year? I don’t remember him making a big deal about that one. Does this mean Morris is a better qb and is more concerned he will make tcu better?
 
He would be a take for us - although not a position of need on the depth chart.

I was hoping to get a grad transfer at DT but I suppose we have some good young guns developing there: Singleton, Isiah Lee seems capable already and incoming Howard.

My biggest question on the team this year is who will be the robin to Xavier Hutchinson's batman? We need a second receiver to emerge and that was lacking last year. Somewhat of a nightmare year for Tarique Milton


Well, there's still Tarique Milton, for one.

I'm really looking for Sean Shaw to continue to develop into that complimentary WR for that top-3 group. If he can be more consistent along with X and Milton, watch out.
 
This kid is a stud. Really has a nose for the ball could definitely fill that Lawrence White role on the backend of the defense. Adding an all-conference caliber safety to an already loaded defense would be enormous.

I think the Isheem Young connection may help us a bit.
I hope your right! I personally don't think it will happen bc Smith wants to play right away and be the star in the secondary. I feel the safety position is probably where we have to most depth. Chambers and McDonald are the future of the secondary. Both are big, fast and athletic. Beau Freyler is probably going to be a starter after his redshirt year. Imo.

Smith will start wherever he goes. Including here, before he and Eisworth (and Isheem Young) are off to the NFL next year.

3rd Team AP All American, 2nd Team FWAA All American, I assume he’s looking for a chance to play one a really good team. We have that here.

I admittedly don't know much about Smith. I have this vision of where are secondary will be in the future. It could be wishful thinking mind you. I would love to see a big physical secondary that instills fear on the opposition. Chambers is 6"3 so is McDonald. Beau Freyler is listed at 6"2 but he's pushing 220lbs and lays a boom. Again, that's my vision.
 
The more and more I think about the different position groups on the defense. The more I realize I just need to completely trust Jon Heacock. The man clearly knows what he's doing. If he wants to pursue Smith or anyone else. I'm going to shut up and not second guess him.
 
If we would pick him up, would a current understudy be thinking about transfer portal themselves

I don't know scholarship numbers, so would he getting picked up also mean someone else would 'have to' depart?
 
We go from having one of the best secondaries in the conference to having a top secondary in the nation by adding him.. You take him lol.
Ya I think we already are the best secondary in the nation. Chambers is a star. If we lose a younger player, it's going to hurt.
