So back to Battle, yes I'm defending him because USF is not a superior academic school and he did graduate with a 3.2 GPA. I do know Strong would not let him participate in spring ball if the fall grades were bad. 

We are vastly superior to most colleges and universities in the U.S. by any measure you want to use.

FWIW, professional acquaintance recently told me it takes a 4.0 or better to get into USF. This was based on his recent experience with his daughter. Non-athlete standards. 

Not too shabby

Transfers need a 2.5 unless it is nursing (3.1).

I was really high on Battle so I'm disappointed we don't get to see him compete for the job.  He came out guns a blazing in the spring game made some very nice throws.  Kinda ended the game with a fizzle.  McCloud was the opposite where he started off slow but finished on fire with many back to back completions.  I wanted to see more.

Show some class. You are way too good of a poster to act like a child. Just wondering if you did the same when K and O left or where you secretly glad they decided to leave?  This kid did not do anything to bring negative attention to this program, so at least be respectful. 

I highly doubt Notre Dame, UNC, OSU, VT, Michigan, ASU, UF etc. were all saying the same when we accepted their transfers. Also quit acting like it's such an honor to play any college sport. Schools make millions off the backs of these kids. He might end up at the next level someday, you really never know.

Look at Dillon...signed as an undrafted free agent after going to Oregon.

Nope...not this time...not this place. We need a friggin championship. The clock is ticking. We need players who want to be USF Bulls. Players who are willing to battle for the starting job...players who are willing to step up. We have been lightweights for too long. The kid made his decision...bye-bye. Get someone who wants to go for it. If you are no longer a USF Bull then you are dead to me...need a friend? Then get a dog.

Don’t let anyone ******* shame you, apologizing is never the right solution unless it’s obvious you are being patronizing and just trying to end a conversation.
