Siggers was fun to watch. But was he ever really the same after that knee injury? IMO, he went from dominant to just OK. 

Yes. He had 343 yards and averaged 7 yards a carry in his last 4 games he played. Looked like he just needed time to get back. Also looked like our coaches were sort of semi-redshirting him at times, saving him for next year and ensuring he wouldn’t go into the offseason injured again. He looked great towards the end. Sucks to lose that.

I hate seeing this name on here, but I'm still not freaking out. Addaway had passed him on the depth chart, and I'm excited about Isaiah Johnson and Keith Jackson.

The overreactions on this site are priceless.

After looking around, can a player back out of transferring and with hat in hands, come back to his original team ?

That is up to the school. Once they "enter" the transfer portal the school is under no obligation. They can, and in a few cases do bring back players. It probably has a lot to do with how the player approached them and the tone of the conversations.

This is a prime example where you cannot tell me recruiting does not go on with players on scholarship at a school. Find it hard to  believe he hit the portal yesterday (when other schools can officially contact him) and today he has committed.

As it is SMU, I do not wish him well.

PS - Up yours Siggers for putting a picture of your in you UNT uniform on the tweet. You understand the feelings between the schools. Cheap shot. Screw you!

I find it easy to believe that the transfer has been on his mind, knew he wanted to go to SMU, and entering the portal was just a formality.

He was going to use a football photo.  What do you expect, for him to reach back to his Duncanville collection?

They could photoshop him into an SMU uni... but they left him in a NT uni on purpose I have no doubt

Hey y'all, what a surprise to get another transfer this morning. Hopefully y'all are loading up on transfers too.  

What can you tell me about Siggers?  Strengths/weaknesses?  Why is he transferring?  Coach beef or just wanting to come back to the local hometown school?

lmao. University park and Duncanville are two very different places. "Hometown" is a bit of a stretch

"I'm coming home." Unbelievable 

Since the portal was established, the thought of SMU poaching our talent has given me nightmares. This is a big domino to fall and the message it broadcasts is not a good one for us. We're at risk of losing our top talent to our rival and becoming a feeder school for SMU.

Bowling ball, hard runner. Tore his ACL a couple of seasons ago and hasn't been the same since then. Seems to run scared. Probably transferring because he was buried in the depth chart, even behind true freshmen.

He's has been productive with some injuries. Looks to have been moved down the depth chart.

Football will become like basketball soon. Good players at G5 levels will be recruited. Will get harder and harder for players who have great first or second years to finish at most G5 schools.

Interesting how the game is changing. I understand the fear over losing talent to us, with us being local to a lot of your recruiting.  But what rival is picking off your talent?  Sad to see in conference poaching starting.

There are many things he could have done. This was a jab at UNT. Sorry, just because he was a player doesn't me he can't act like an ass at times.  

He might have wanted to go there, but this did not happen overnight. There have been conversations. This type of thing (schools recruiting players on scholarship at a school) has been very common place in BB, now it will become the norm in FB

I agree and I understand it. But the Denton to Dallas transfer route is a double kick in the nuts.

Honestly, if this had happened in a few day I would not have liked it but would have thought what the hell. I call BS on the timing of this. When they do formally enact the one-time no sit transfer it will be hard to impossible for most G5 programs to keep kids who have great Freshman/Sophomore years. But this is what many wanted so we will have to live with it.

He’s a badass. He was an all-CUSA caliber back before a dude at Southern Miss gator rolled his ankle and put him out for a few games, then he came back and was all-CUSA caliber again, then had a major knee injury last game of the season( never fully disclosed what it was).

He wasn’t the same guy at the start of this season since it had still only been 9 months from the injury, but by the end of the season he was our best back again. He had 120 yards on 17 carries in the bowl game against App State, showing he was fully back IMO. Someone said he runs scared which couldn’t be further from the truth. He runs with some juice.

That being said, I hope he goes 0-2 against us.

I'm glad we agree on many things, but this ain't one of them.

ok.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
