Unhappy with reps used to mean you worked harder to get said reps.

A little surprising since I assumed he was one of the receivers Frost was talking about practicing better this week. Maybe it was guys like Woodyard, Williams, and McQuitty. Either way best of luck to him, hopefully it works out somewhere. I'd be unhappy if a walk-on freshman beat me out too, but it's like the coaches have been saying - are you going to work harder and earn it back or stay down? Lindsey answered it his way, we'll see what the others do.

Benning commented today on his radio show that the 2 position groups struggling the most with the transition to the new coaching staff have been the WR's and the DB's. Those two position groups were coached by very strong personalities under Riley, and the players who tend to play those positions can trend toward the "prima donna" personality. I am not saying all the players are "prima donnas", but just saying the typical personalities at those positions across football.

I totally believe this is the reason Tyjon gave the coaches for deciding to leave. I don't believe this is the reason Tyjon decided to leave

I think the 2 guys that Frost mentioned (not by name) were Woodyard and Williams. Now, it could very well be McQuitty, but Woodyard and Williams were near the top of the depth chart at the start of the season, and then they were pushed down recently. It can be a hard transition going from JUCO to D-1 football, in terms of the amount of work that is required to play and succeed.

Maybe I am on my own here. But anyone not recruited by Frost I kinda like seeing them leave. I figure it as they are tainted by Riley culture and we can now open up a recruiting slot to fill with someone who has the talent and attitude to succeed in Frost's system.
The guys that are leaving dont want to be here. To be honest I have not seen anything out of Tyjon on the field in the last 2 years that makes me sad he is gone. Wish the kid well and all- but I dont really care he left.

I don't think you;re on your own. Me personally, I don't "like" to see them leave. I'd like to see them stay and perform to the best of their abilities. But once they leave, I'm kind of indifferent to them.

This definitely has to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. Guys like Mo Barry aren't having a problem.

I am with you. I would like all the players to stick around, put in the work, and try to make a contribution to the team. But, if they are being a divisive force in the locker room and not being a good teammate, then it's best if they leave. Once they leave, I am also indifferent toward them.

I’m not worried about any departures. We’re 0-4, losing last 8 (I believe) so generally the current players aren’t getting it done. Anyone playing hard and contributing won’t be leaving. Until we start winning, roster churn is a good thing.
