Michael Dyer- RB from Auburn

[JupiterBull]

You'd be surprised how many people disagree and think recruits give a **** what a bunch of middle aged men on their computers think.

No I wouldn't be surprised...I got chastised here before NSD for posting that I wasn't sure I wanted a certain recruit, given what I viewed as disrespectful tweets re: Taggart/USF, during an OV.  I highly doubt a person would factor this in...if so, other school would plant idiots on rivals schools and make inane comments to offend recruits and make them lean elsewhere.

I think the last time I pointed out how stupid we seem believing we matter, I got hit with about 5 down votes.

Personally I feel you lose your other RBs by waiting a week. The longer this plays out the less confident they will become. Especially if he doesn't come.

That reason alone is why I think Bench starts. Coach Taggart told the other QBs they weren't good enough by flirting with every QB out there. Would have been a disaster if we didn't land one. Every day Dyer sits on this our chances decrease IMO and every day we play the waiting game our other RBs will question themselves. I don't care how good or confident you are if your partner(coach) starts flirting with someone else(Dyer) right in front of your face its going to affect you. And Dyer is using us for a better offer. 2 weeks ago he was toxic minus WKU and Marshall. Now he gets a decent offer and we're not good enough...

I think our RBs would be deluded to not know that Dyer is a better talent.  If anything, I'd expect them to be even more motivated to show they can contribute.  Selfishly, I'm sure they'd prefer he NOT come...as it'd likely drastically cut carries, but they can still complete, as Dyer can't carry the rock every play.

I've seen something like this happen with 2 of my friends growing up. They attended UW both could have went anywhere and both became starters by their JR year. One had a transfer come in and felt slighted he transferred out the other was a starter for 2 years felt his job was safe got a stinger in camp and had to miss the first game. He was about to cone back but his replacement was doing ok the coaches pushed it off and he decided he no longer needed to play football.

I get where yall are coming from but not everyone feels that way. You think Shaw doesn't feel entitled to RB1? And if/when(again IMO how long this has drug out it is when) Dyer goes somewhere else then Taggart has to come back and pretend like he was good enough all along. That's where this drawing out hurts us not if he comes but when he doesn't.

 

 

Fair enough.  Something similar happened to me once so I know how your friend felt.  Sometimes the coached decisions seem arbitrary.  I stuck it out and got on the field but it could have gone the other way.

Louisville fans are stating he has been accepted into Louisville and is going there. Don't know if true yet.

They don't have a link. Their "insiders" are claiming its a done deal on message boards. Take it FWIW.
