Its sort of a moot point. Its not like his career would be any further along at this point had he stayed a CB under the genius of Coach Cosh.

Wonder what his career would have been like if Holtz kept him at CB. Too bad we are losing him. Good luck

Weird that he was going to move to corner before the suspension.

Oh for ****'s sake, wasn't this just a misdemeanor pot charge that he wasn't even convicted of? This isn't Stanford, we need all the help we can get over here. How do you think the Florida State Criminoles got so good? You mentor and work with these kids, teach them right from wrong and get them back on the right track. His entire collegiate career was mishandled from the get go.

 

Unless something else has arisen, this is BS.

 

 

If that's how this is going to go, might as well say goodbye to Battles and Dunkley as well. (not that they would have made much of an impact anyway)

Finish that degree TRex.

 

Taggart is running a tight ship. I would not be surprised if there are a few more transfers in the months to come.

What a joke.  A little bit of pot is no big deal. ****, states are legalizing it now and in 10-15 years most states will follow. If this is the only thing he did, then Taggart made a mistake. Tight ship...more like a joke.

Joke?  It's all about discipline.  If a player thinks pot is more important than the opportunity afforded to them to play football at this level, I don't want them.  Clearly they don't have the drive or ambition to succeed.

 

As far as his talent being "wasted" by coaching, I'd say it is kind of hard for a player that was injured more than he was healthy to be impacted by coaching one way or the other.

Before everyone gets so judgmental...remember that we were not present in conversations between TRex and Coach Taggart.  No one knows if there was an opportunity for TRex to come back and he either didn't want to or didn't comply with coaches request.

 

I remember seeing reports of early morning running drills that players had to do for disciplinary actions.  maybe TRex wasn't open to do that?  Or maybe TRex didn't want to play corner?  Who knows.

 

We have to move on though.  Best of luck TRex.

I don't know the skinny on what prompted T-Rex to transfer, but I don't think it's strictly due to Taggart. With having to switch back to CB, I don't think he would have played much this year, assuming T-Rex successfully completed his pretrial intervention program. I think this was more of a move triggered by T-Rex's desire to play right away and try and salvage what's left of what so far has been an underachieving college football career. Hindsight being what it is, Holtz's staff shouldn't have moved this kid to WR.

Exactly.... if he's leaving there has to be more to it.

I find this to be ridiculous. There is no way he should be transferring, especially when he has a family here.
