Gumms was at a totally different level of accomplishment and athleticism. That one stinks of tampering. This one less so due to the new defensive alignment.  Too small to play DE and too slow to play LB?

Could be but someone on here has mentioned several times how few catches tight ends have gotten in Morris’ system over the years.

So what is the deal, we've lost some of the best young players on the damn roster!  What is going on coaches?  I demand an explanation.

If he signs with LSU, tampering was a big factor.

With a large sample size, this list provides enough evidence why no one should ever consider rankings again in their lifetime.

Agree 100%.  I had a nephew whose dad refused to pay the cost of these 247 and Rivals camps and he was given a 2 star rating because of it when he was a much better player than many who received 3 star.  If you don't see the system for what it is, basically a revenue generator for the websites you are blind.

This is what you sign up for when you make a coaching change. If your top priority is to keep the guys already on your roster, then Seth Littrell should have been re-hired.

Someone earlier mentioned being from Louisiana or connection to LSU. But his dad has a great job working in Dallas and living in Plano. I would guess he stays in Texas and I heard someone mention  possibility of SMU… don’t know their Defensive scheme. I would guess he won’t be the last to leave through camp on the flip side I would hope a few would transfer in

[TIgreen01]

Hurts to lose him, but this is one I expected after the new scheme/DC was announced.  Good luck to him.  He has a bright future.

Or, hear me out, instead of immediately transferring in the offseason, he gave it a shot during spring camp and decided he didn't like what his role would be. *ducks*

Don't you guys have a new conference to worry abou...oh wait.

Any intel as to what a fair market price for him would be?  I think we may have a few dollars socked away for this one

[greenminer]

Damn. Cam getting lit with offers.

[Cr1028]

I wonder if twftraining intentionally told him not to tag them with the Texas Stare offer, and if so, are they the ones that encouraged him to leave Denton?

[El Paso Eagle]

I understand it's a different time, but hard to understand why some of you want to follow a player who does not want to be here at every move.

I thought someone said he ends up at UH?

That's Gumms, who's from the Houston area. Robertson is from Plano

Exact quote from a multi year starter on your defense to a P5 transfer on a visit this past December who would end up signing with another P5 school "We didn't see a dime of that 36,000 per player last season if I were you I wouldn't come here, I'll trade spots with you"

Seems like ya'll still need to iron the kinks out of your plan to buy success

He already has several P5 offers.  Your money's no good.

We close the deal on people with P5 offers all the time.  Looks like a tough land though.
