Good Job Pitt State

They have freebie games for redshirts now, too. Kind of the best of both worlds.

No doubt, but if we think coaches aren’t playing the best players available regardless of “burning” a redshirt, I think we are delusional. Players redshirt because they are hurt, or aren’t developed enough or there is an abundance of serviceable players in their position.

What do people think the redshirt year is for?

All I am trying to say is that when a coach sells the program under the stupid portal system, which I hate, the coach can tell the recruit, "X number of our players went on to play at "Y" University, "Z" University, and so forth. Player development is now a huge part of selling the program under the portal. That is player development for the NEXT LEVEL. If I were a coach, I would not redshirt a player, knowing that he may be gone in two or three years.

I think he gave up football. He was announced at senior day and the coach show said he was joining the navy.

bad loss for you (good for mine lol) but you guys had a guard that joined the navy right off the roster. wortham. still in, still having a good time.

How many players are being plucked OUT of Edmond to play in front of 80,000 people?

Oklahoma Lands Second Transfer Portal Tight End OU received a commitment from Will Huggins, a big tight end at Pittsburg State. I know Pitt does not want to be a farm team, but this speaks volumes about coaching, training, teaching, and mentoring at Pitt State

i think his overall production and size helped more than anything. dont remember him being a HUGE threat against UCO. mateer has a good TE at WSU and probably would like a good target to help with the lack of oline health and lack of ability to keep the qbs clean.
finley was a grea TE at ou back in the day and im sure he knows a good talent at that position.

The Naval Academy or like he gave up football and straight up went Navy? Good for him. I’m USAF, we appreciate our sailors.

AFAIK we have two portal players. Higgins, now at OU, and Nichols, a corner who is a grad transfer that didn’t play much. We did lose our all region center to the armed forces. He joined the navy.

Great frame, good speed, decent hands, great blocker. I don't really give Pitt credit for that. KU developed him,.Pitt borrowed him for a year, and now he's off to D1 again.

He was mostly wasted at Pitt under a bad OC.

That I know of, none so far. I thought Terrill Davis might but for now he is still around. Are you suggesting it is a good thing if there is a mass exodus from a program? I would think that isn’t a sign of a healthy program.
