JD ruined his career by transferring, most others did not find the grass greener on the other side

BS. A player does not need a "release" to play at the next school. That is the whole purpose of the transfer portal. Coaches can no longer hold kids hostage. Explain your statement regarding a release.

Beat me to it, was pretty sure that whole thing ended.

Francois was still under his 1st year NLI and Frost didn’t release him from it. Transfer portal and NLI are not one in the same.


Defensive back Jaiden Francois, who landed at UCF in August after signing with Nebraska as part of the Huskers’ 2020 recruiting class, won’t be eligible for the game.

“Nebraska has not released him from his [National Letter of Intent]. That’s been the issue we’ve been dealing with all year for him,” Heupel said.

From page 19 of the NCAA transfer guide here


National Letter of Intent (NLI): NCAA schools that are part of the NLI program may send a National Letter of Intent to a prospective student-athlete they have recruited to participate in their intercollegiate sports program.

The letter is a legally binding contract. It explains what athletics financial aid the school agrees to provide the student-athlete for one full academic year, only if the student is admitted to the school and is eligible for financial aid under NCAA rules. If you sign a National Letter of Intent, you agree to attend that school for one academic year and other schools that are part of the National Letter of Intent program can no longer recruit you.

Stahlbird didn't see the field because SDSU did not play this year! Included all the facts, not just the ones that support your position.
I thought the same thing. Plus Hunt and Legrone were kicked off the team for rape. Saying they are in the transfer portal might formally be true, but their reasons for being in the transfer portal does not support the premise. Same with Washington.

Also, I think Roberts is being downplayed. He is All Pac 10 first team.

When you fudge on the facts, it makes your overall point suspect.
 
When you look at who transferred out the last couple of years and see what happened to them, one would think kids would start to realize the grass is not greener for the majority of those that transferred.

K Dylan - no school listed
Cox - no school listed
Stalbird - South dakota state - has not seen the field
Moses Bryant - no school listed
Tony butler - kent state - only played in 4 games for 15 tackles
vedral - rutgers, 1,253 yards passing
chase - portland state - no season
jaiden francois - didn't see the field after a season at UCF
Forbes - Montana - no season
legrone - no school listed
bradly - no school listed
washington - no school liste
hunt - no school listed

woodyard - marshall - 1catch
miles jones - TN - never saw the field
mcquitty - south dakota - no season

jd - tcu - only played in 3 games for 5 catches - no post season invite to anywhere. He claimed to leave to do what is best for his career as a football player. That career appears to be over.
henry gray - fiu - didn't see the field in 2020
paup - no school listed
jefferson - no school listed

So, the 2020 departures

- 1 basically ruined his football career going to TCU
- 15 didn't have a season in 2020 or didn't find a school (that is publicly found)
- some might see the field at their current schools in the future, but impact at any of the schools if they were illegible.

Cole - south dakota state - 1 field goal.
caleb - oregon state - 26 punts after two seasons
smith - no school listed
cam - smu - 14 tackles after 2 seasons
thomas - colorado - has not seen the field
dixon- no school listed
gebbia - was back up for most games but may start this year
bell - had about500 yards rushing
tyjon - only 29 catches after two seasons
roberts - 152 tackles in his college career

When you go through the 2019 departures, you can see that Gebbia will have become the possible starter at Oregon state, roberts plays but nobody else that left would have made any difference in Nebraska winning games.

The main take aways, would have been nice if Gebbia stayed for depth and spot play, if roberts would have put in the work he might have seen some playing time at Nebraska, but other than that we got to see JD ruin his career, and have to replace the freshman DB's that left.

It's too early to do an analysis on the 2021 departures, but even some of them are not having schools call them - example is Warner where no school is showing interest yet. Haven't heard anything on McCafrey either yet.

Are you sure about Gebbia? From what I saw he was the starter

Gebbia started 4 games with the Beavers until he got hurt. They only played 7 games.

That's correct. He put up piss poor numbers during that time frame, the only pac 12 QB that was worse last year was Will Plummer.

He will probably improve, but they'll be looking for a different starter if he has another stretch like that.

Gebbia isn't a shoe in as a starter yet. Started some games though. When you look at his stats from the 2020 season, his longest run was 13 yards and after two seasons at Oregon state he has amazed a total of 29 yards rushing. That wouldn't work for Frost's offense. His value would have been as a backup and for spot play and start a game or two due to injuries.

I think you are wrong about Gebbia. He was the starter until he got hurt. I won't argue over rushing stats. I don't remember any dynamic runs. I just watched bits and pieces of his games but he did pass ok when playing. I usually have two games going at the same time.
