I am not asking you to be bitter? Just wonder why you are happy he left, it appears you think we can do better which I don’t disagree yet we still needed the depth.  College sports is now a revolving door, root for the team, players come and go.  I don’t find joy or sadness when they leave, I just move on, appears you still have an affinity towards them regardless, to each their own.  

1. I think we can do better. 2. From a PR perspective it shows the world that our players are P5 worthy. 3. I look forward to who ends up replacing them. 

If I like a player then I'll root for him at his next destination. Growing up in Miami and going to UF, I was in the same social circle as a lot of the athletes. I've had friends who blew their opportunities on the FB team, friends who was going to free agent camps. I have a buddy that went from barely staying on an NFL roster to becoming a general manager for an NFL team. These players are real people. They all have different stories behind the scenes.

And I hope that they watched our guys on TV having fun in Boca thrashing Syracuse while they sat on the couch, freezing their you-know-whats off in Colorado. The point is that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side; sometimes it’s frozen…

Go Bulls

With the money they made, they were happy with their decision and supported their FRIENDS who stayed on the team. I think they even went to the bowl game. 1 just signed an NFL contract, the other has an opportunity to have a better year. Some of ya'll have too much bitterness in ya heart

I agree with this 100 percent however find it humorous you are happy for him leaving our school.  You probably were in the generation everyone got a trophy.  Who cares, dude is in the wind, him finding success or failure does nothing for me either way however I am not happy we lost him and the needed depth.   I liken it to the dog track, I would root feverishly for that dog for that race, once the race ends I am handicapping the next one, that dog is forgotten, I don’t  need to see a thread on what happens to him at Louisville.

No Im just one who is grateful for his contributions and moving on. Having bitterness is pointless and a waste of energy. When our players transfers to P5 schools it simply lets the world know we have quality players. Also I felt we can do better than him. He was just unable to get sacks.  So Im happy Pettus who I think is waaaaay better will get his snaps. Hell I felt Jonathan Ross should have started over him last year. Glass half full my friend.

I love Dono, he gave his heart to USF. But that being said , for his size and agility, he got beat a lot. I’m sure scouts saw that on film. I wish him the best. 

He did not get beat a lot. I barely remember him giving up any sacks. Plus this year he came back from an injury. Hands down one of our best tackles.

With players leaving for the next buck, that pic should read, "Towners for Now"

I mean if your chances to make the NFL are slim, then get your money your last year of football. . 

Ya boy found a P5 home. I'm actually happy for him.

Trammel Logan gone...surprising 

I mean he is good, buuuuut lets be real, he isnt really getting sacks. I mean Jonathan Ross came from the FCS Bowie State and got more sacks and TFLs than him coming off the bench. Im good.

It's always great to poach top level talent, but my guess is he would want to go where he can win the starting job immediately. Brown has tremendous upside so that looks like to big a hill to climb. However having the chance to be coached by Brock Purdy's mentors while coming back home might be enough for him to choose here( if CG would take him)

After disappointed one of the best if not the best CB ever, I question his level of confidence. I feel he comes to USF and DVD helps him develop with less pressure than living up to 5 stars at a P5. USF is a more lowkey move which I feel is probably what he prefers after playing for a team that has a spotlight on it 24/7 and a future hall of famer cb in Travis Hunter to make him feel even smaller lol They say Travis Hunter dominates all of the practices and never gets tired.

What's the deal with this guy and Jabri Abdur-Rahim? I feel like we should be able to land at least one of them given family connections.  Internet is pretty quiet.

Not everybody wants to play for a parent or uncle. Its not for the faint of heart  People will always question if you earned it or is it favoritism.

If I recall correctly, he was the athlete that joined practice and blocked a couple of field goals in a row. CJS was excited how a basketball player with zero football experience could walk on like that and block field goals...I was saying to myself, what does it say about the football team when a basketball player can just walk onto the field and start blocking field goals...

A 6'9, run a 4.8 40 yd and 300Ibs of muscle athlete. Not all athletes are the same.

How about we stop only blaming the players? The coaches account for half the transfers b/c they are always seeking better players. So there is no loyalty on either end.

Neither one of them could afford to start a project on either line and that certainly is what he was at that point. What that original article didn't tell you is where he was last year ...

He didn’t play anywhere last fall, but missed the game and wanted to give it another shot. His opportunity arrived via the NFL International Player Pathway program, a league initiative designed to “cover and develop elite global talent capable of competing in the NFL.”

Matos, 23, was among 15 players (representing seven different countries) chosen for the program’s Class of 2024. The group, which worked out extensively at IMG Academy, participated March 20 at USF’s pro day, where Matos ran the 40-yard dash in 4.88 seconds.

At minimum you could of had him rush every punt or field goal. At 6'9 with a decent vertical, he could have blocked a few.

Word on the street was he was better than his other son the db, and had some  internal issues with Primetime favoring his son over him. Primetime is using his two sons on twitter to try to get people to transfer there. A lot of his better recruits are transferring out.  I hope it works out for Primetime, but it definitely is a circus full of entertainment in Colorado. The qb went from he isn't the number two qb in the draft sop he is coming back;  to he can't beat FBS teams real quick. 

Both of the his sons played well last year and have a whole season ahead. And there are multiple opportunities for CBs to play b/c you have to keep fresh bodies. CU defense and o-line sucked so anybody on last year's defense and offensive line needs to humble themselves.

HE has freak athletic ability for his size and frame, but never really got to develop or show off his football skills. I could see him going to the CFL or European leagues to develop.  If it doesn't work out in football, he could have a career in WWE.

I agree with WWE.

Word is between us and So Cal    Thinking he wants to come home and be coached by an NFL DB coach not a player   

Its kind of a red flag if he disappointed one of the greatest DB to ever play the game, but Ill still take him. 

I heard Christopher Townsel in the portal. I had him at 2nd string. These new guys must be good.

Would be cool if he made it to a training camp. If drafted, would he be under the USF umbrella?

Not really, b/c It would make CJS and CAG look incompetent b/c they couldn't figure out how to use a 6'9, 300 Ibs of muscle player that runs a 4.8 40yd. Especially if he makes a roster.

The Baylor transfers all have been zero impact Gb,Terry, and Jones. Not surpsued about anyone on the list but the Vandy ol transfer uzebu. Only thing I can think of wilty is a better fit. Several recruits from last class transferring out. I assume it because they want to play and move down the college football ladder. We also brought  in better talent on the recruiting and transfer trail and that maybe pushing some out that want to play.

Gerry was getting better on the field, but his mentoring of BB was priceless. Even BB father stated that GB was a big part of BB's development.
