You're assuming they transferred for play rather than pay.  Cashing in to ride the bench and get your degree is not a bad gig

True - however, for players that have NFL aspirations, not playing (or playing very little) is not going to get the attention of scouts... whereas getting on the field and dominating will get a lot of attention.

Jake Roberts (OU): 3 rec. 51 yards & 1 TD.

Stone Earle (Marshall): 13 - 36 for 131 yards w/ 1 TD and 1 int.  10 rushes for 31 yards

Jordan Smart (Ole Miss): No Stats

Dillon Williams (UTEP): No Stats

Logan Wilson (Cincy): 2 tackles, 1 PD

Chandler Rogers (Cal): No passing stats.  2 rushes for 14 yards.

Ja'yaire Shorter (Memphis): No stats

Alobwede (Memphis): No stats

Patrick Smith (ODU): 4 tackles

Mooney (ULM): No stats.  FYI, they hammered UAB.

Gebbia (USC): No stats.

Oscar Adaway (So. Caro): 1 rush for -1 yard.

J. Maclin (Kentucky): 1 rec. for 2 yards, 1 fumble

Ayo Adeyi (JMU): 4 rushes for -1 yard, 1 fumble

Joshua Smith (Morgan St.): No Stats

Detraveon Brown (Southern): No Stats

Isaiah Johnson (ACU): 14 rushes for 71 yards & 1 TD.  3 receptions for 25 yards

Harold West (ACU): No stats

Qualon Farrar (Delta St): first game he had 8 rushes for 40 yards and 2 TD's w/ 1 reception for 30 yards.  This week he had 8 rushes for 41 yards and one reception for 22 yards.

Patrick Smith has done well for ODU. Also had an INT last week and a very strong first week if I recall correctly. 
Maclin seems to be Kentucky’s punt returner and had three returns for 20 last year. Btw I don’t think he or Adeyi gave up the ball on those fumbles but still not a good stat to have. 
Kaghen Roach, Chris White, and Harold West all contributing at ACU on defense. 
Trey Cleveland had a good first game vs Tech but no stats for ACU last week.
 

So many guys went to ACU. “Players to be named later” in the Stone Earle trade? 😂

I don’t wish failure on any of them. I do wonder how many regret their decision and how many were “encouraged” to move along.

Yes, without knowing those details a person is kind of a douche bag for judging many of these guys so harshly.  They are young and only get this time in their lives to play this sport, get a degree that is hopefully useful, and get a little money.  If had that talent and opportunity at their age I hope I would be humble and smart enough to weigh the long term, education, and playing time over anything less than 20k guaranteed.

Yeah and it’s great that those greasy agents get paid 30-40 percent up front!

Howard Sampson starts at North Carolina, Ethan Miner starts at Miss State, and Febechi Nwewu starts at OU let's not forget about them.

At this point, it's a year to year league and you can't fault any player who leaves. The ONLY part about the transfer portal I don't like is when a player goes from small school to big school and then gets drafted the new school gets credit. There are certain G5 schools that have a reputation for having guys drafted almost every year, La Tech comes to mind I imagine those days are over. Both schools should be listed in my opinion, the inability to points to players in the pros from your school hurts G5 recruiting even more.

These are probably the guys we are missing the most.

I agree, Larry Moore has played great but he’s the only one who’s stood out to me. Febechi may be a pro one day, those guys are sorely missed.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
