Is this anymore than the natural weeding-out process? Biggest loss I can see from this class is Padron, and for personal health reasons. Others were:

Ealey (gone a month into 2007 season/grades/life of crime)

Roman (grades)

King (chose to transfer/playing time)

Those four were on scholarship, and King never played a down.

Fentriss, Garden and Moreland were walk-ons. First two never played, and Moreland was replaced by a better kicker. Best of luck to all, but I don't see anything here in the way of an alarming trend.

Am I missing someone?

I too see this as a "I wasn't going to get the playing time, so I will go elsewhere." And there is nothing wrong with that. And I fully expected it to happen at some point with so many WRs. Which Dodge had to do in his first season, just to make sure he even had enough on roster. It looks like the 08 receivers are all pushing for playing time.

I hate to see Marcus King leave the program. Seeing him making key plays in Euless Trinity's first state championship win was really special. He seemed good at catching the ball in traffic and in critical situations. Last year, it sounded like he was doing well in fall practice, and might have played as a true freshman had he not been injured before the season started. I still remember Todd Dodge telling little stories about the recruits in his first class; the one where that, after Marcus had verballed to North Texas, he would text Dodge messages about players players he should recruit was cool. I'm sure Marcus really wants to get out on the field and play; I wish him well.

Why wait to announce the transfer until 2 weeks before the season opener?

I wanted to see King play too, so this is a surprise.

Opens the door for another WR to play Dodge Ball!

Probably wanted to see where he was on the depth chart after a couple weeks of fall camp. Most college fall cutoffs for enrollment are next week.

He left because you guys were so mean to him.

Maybe he left to try to find those OU receivers since it has probably taken a year for him to catch up to them. Or maybe he thought LA Tech would give him a better chance for a record for bobled punt returns inside the five yard line and establish a new NCAA category for "assists" on safetys.

don't mean to rumormonger, but why else would he have left? BC he was dying to play at LA tech?

Maybe Mayberry Louisiana had something that Mr. Roman desperately needed.

      This is a big game for Elf

      We have lost 4 of the last 5 against this program, 5-7 overall. UTSA has been playing FBS football since 2012. Since 2013, we have been in a conference with them. Through last season, they are 72-65. They've won 2 conference titles and have gone 1-4 in bowl games, while also being ranked. They've had three coaches. In the same category above, we are 63-71. No conference championships and have gone 1-6 in bowl games. We have had 4 head coaches. If we lose to them tonight, Morris will basically tell us that he just isn't going to be able to lift this program higher than it was when he took it over. UTSA in 2024 is not good. They're 4-5, with wins over Kennesaw State, Houston Christian, FAU, and (somehow) Memphis. Not counting having to sacrifice themselves to UT-Daddy, they've lost 4 games against peer programs, Texas State, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa. Maybe I'm wrong, but we should beat these guys, even on the road at a place that has been a house of horrors for us, if we have the right coach leading us. This is one of those games that will tell us in our hearts if we have someone worth a damn as the head coach or if he's no different than everyone else we always hire here.

      T-shirt police here. Why can’t we either have our players tuck their undershirts in their pants, like basketball players, or cut the bottom of the undershirt off so that it doesn’t hang sloppily out. And here’s a thought…Why not wear a white t-shirt with a white uniform ?
