Ghost of Tate

Cheerleader? Lulz. All I did was share 2 weeks ago what I heard and found interesting—because there was nothing public being mentioned—that SE was gone. I then mentioned a few days ago that I’m hearing he’s already at another G5 that needs a starter this fall, which would require a little-used loophole to get around the new portal rules. The only defending of SE I did was call out @Coach Bill Lewis for claiming that Stone “promised” to stay and broke it. He stayed until a couple weeks ago, but I doubt he “promised” to stay unless UNT coaches told him it would be an open competition, which was a lie. “Coach” BL conveniently left that part out from his accusation. Propose a wager, betting on your conclusion that some rando GMG poster’s recent pondering whether Stone liking an X tweet about a CMU coach getting a promotion means he’s going there next is more accurate than another rando GMG poster who was first to state that Stone was gone then posted that he’ll be the likely starter at another G5, if you’re bullish on the take. Otherwise, try not to open, read and comment in threads about which you don’t care.

Thus your Central Missouri comment. Convenient dodge.

A speculative post based on Stone “Liking” an X post about some coach at Central Mizzou getting a promotion or something. Got it. Care to wager on those two possible outcomes?

Based on an X Like? 🫢

I hear Stone has the inside track to start at another G5 this year. Interesting maneuver to be immediately eligible, too.

Yep

Check that: Grad transfers can enter anytime during the academic year, but no later than the last day that the spring window is open.

NCAA eliminated that loophole in April. EVERYONE has to enter during the two windows now. Edited below, but no later than May 1 for grad transfers.

Before April, a scholarship undergrad who transferred without entering the portal during one of the two windows, in order to be immediately eligible had to drop down to D3. (Central Missouri is D2, I believe.) I have no idea whether the NCAA changed this in April when they overhauled the D1 transfer rules to permit unlimited transfers.

Now do Morris, Davis, and Brophy 🤡

When have I "bashed" Stone? GTFO.

Citing the Cal depth chart on a 3rd party site whose depth chart for UNT conflicts with your, um, intel (that Cash had already moved ahead of Stone). OK.

Where did you hear that?

Lulz. I neither know nor care the allocation of NIL C. Rogers got from Cal, and what he was promised/told when he was recruited there. He may or may not have decided on Cal based on the above. I can tell you that the schools who take portal QBs and have NIL universally operate this way. It’s the few exceptions that don’t (the QB didn't have leverage in the portal vis-a-vis the QB talent on the roster, or shits the bed once in practices). Try again.

Your statement indicates that you lack an understanding of how today’s college football staffs work. There is ZERO chance that the coaching staff (not analysts necessarily) isn’t in on who will be starting at QB when it’s pre-ordained or determined before/early in camp. It’s candidly discussed in coaches’ meetings (with entire staff or the offensive side of the ball) and codified in coaches-only depth charts. When any of the HC/OC/QB coach tells a QB recruit or roster QB anything related to open/no competition, it’s been orchestrated. And often it’s understood anyway, when NIL is allocated across the QB room and roster. Thus my point: it don’t matter.
