Game has changed. He has to win now, not wait for a backup LB to develop. I'm sorry this doesn't align with your philosophy but I doubt Mario cares what you think about it.Lazy take after lazy take our staff is being exposed for the same thing they killed fsu on the trail for. The huge issue we are going to have is our staff doesn’t have nearly the eye they have when it comes to evaluating transfer portal talent. Mario’s main selling point is high school recruiting now it’s time to let those recruits take their lumps and develop them.
PopoMario better win big this year. The pressure he must be feeling is showing. He's betting it all on the portal it seems. Not even giving the young pups a chance to shine. Obviously we don’t know the reasons that guys enter the portal but I’d assume a lot feel shafted by him at this point.
This is the new CFB for better or worse I guess. No time to waste on development.
So playing in the spring means they will play in the fall? Is anyone really taking this account seriously?Popo
Pruitt
Hayes
Bain
Damari
Zay
Lightfoot
McConathy
Scott
All true freshman and sophomores on defense that had significant roles in spring/will have roles in the fall. Absolutely delusional to say that young players aren't being given opportunities.
I highly doubt he was passed up by Hayes. Hayes is going to need time to get acclimated to college, his body isn’t ready. It’s been said on here.So playing in the spring means they will play in the fall? Is anyone really taking this account seriously?
To find out if they are good when they hit the practise field like BainWhy even bother recruiting kids out of high school?
3rd string MLB
He couldve been a soild player in 1-2 years.
Kids dont wait anymore though
Popo Hayes and Pruitt ain’t leaving cause they are good. Unless we get someone from HS this cycle that’s better and they get buried next season.Alderman is 100% better rn than this kid but wish he can see the big picture of another year of development. Both guys move on after this year then he and Popo lock down as starters
Bobby Washington started an entire spring and had how many snaps last fall? Spring is for staying healthy and building good practice habits. That is it!I highly doubt he was passed up by Hayes. Hayes is going to need time to get acclimated to college, his body isn’t ready. It’s been said on here.
Popo I have ahead, Pruitt looked fine in the Spring but not sure where he’s at in the pecking order. My best guess is that Pulliam wants more playing time instead of being LB5 here, and the staff is ok with losing him considering they view Pruitt as a contributor either this year or next.
I don’t think he was pushed out, just left on his own. If you search his name, there were a ton of people hyping him up all Spring. So either that was fake news sunshine pumping, or he actually looked solid…just not good enough to start yet / he wanted more PT than he would get Year 2 here.
Some might use it as a chance to see how a player performs in a more realistic game scenario. Others might use it as a PR even to give the impression they're better than they are.*So playing in the spring means they will play in the fall? Is anyone really taking this account seriously?
Never said he passed up by him, in fact, Gaby was insinuating that Pruitt was the one that may have taken his spotI highly doubt he was passed up by Hayes. Hayes is going to need time to get acclimated to college, his body isn’t ready. It’s been said on here.
