Personally this kid was also a big loss. He has been very productive for the Tigers. Even All-Conference honors the last two years. Started as a frosh, could've really helped the depth of the OL. Robinson and Givens also probably would have played a ton here. Who knows how they would have done with scheme NU runs now but the depth would be lot better.
I actually agree....being from Arkansas with ties there and to Oklahoma, I don't blame him. I do think that long term he would have received better defensive coaching here....but, that is ultimately his call.
Pretty sure he's the DB who is getting burnt every other play for the dallas cowgirls.
Dan Hoch and Travis Lewis were by far our biggest losses... Travis was my favorite recruit that year and he tore us up in the CCG. Hoch is so solid. Very hard worker as well. Givens sucks and Robinson has his moments. Riley Reiff is one of the best OTs in the Big Ten as well if not the nation. If we could have gotten him, Hoch, Givens and Robinson our OL depth would be tremendous.
Absolutely, especially ones that go through a major coaching change.
Everyone loses high class prospects, its part of the recruiting game
it's not typical. everyone loses some, we've lost an extraordinary amount over the last 10 years. of course, for a good portion of the last 10 years, we weren't a top 25 program. we'll always be a name brand school, so it's not hard for us to get kids to look at us early. however, due to on field struggles, coaching changes and the natural recruiting disadvantages we have, it's understandable that so many kids have changed their minds.
Don't forget we have gone through 3 coaches this decade as well. The Cali leaving alone was responsible for Blaine Gabbert, Jonas Grey, Bryce Givens, Dan Hoch, Shaun Mohler, & Doug Rippy all decommiting.
yes, i mentioned coaching changes. also, i disagree about those kids leaving because cally did. most of them were already headed for the exits due to his nightmare of a 2007 season.
