Why Are We Harboring Three Failed UT Rejects?

Postby RE Tycoon » Sat Aug 31, 2013 10:40 am

Gilbert - Case closed, he doesn't have it.

Shead - Before the injury (and I feel bad for him) he didn't look as advertised. He was neither fast nor powerful...and he had at least two fumbles. Absolutely unacceptable.

Ashcraft - Did he really get passed over by a true frosh?

This UT transfer madness needs to stop!

The LSU transfer never panned out.

Shawnbrey was our only "as advertised" transfer, and he did it for family reasons, not because he couldn't hack it at his school.

are you kidding? The only way we are going to get acceptable talent with this recruiting focus is a transfer. Glad they are here and need more of them,

Lots of LSU fans arriving at Love Field. They appear to be much bigger and more athletic than our fans.

Exactly. Sad but true.

Better question-why 3 rejects starting over June's recruits. They are the best we have

Look at the bright side; you can have our Failed USC Reject Coach LANE KIFFIN at the end of the season to take all those SMU millions of $$$!

Maybe he'll bring Failed USC Reject players as well!

Now that's a good question.

Frankly, even with some of his mistakes, I don't think GG played too badly last night.

better than most of last year. wish he had run with the ball more. and he didn't look very good when the offensive line started breaking down, which was fairly regularly. I don't know what a fair expectation is for him getting out of those situations.
