Mavric Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 We apparently told Wynn he likely only had a limited role this year. Allen was told he was fourth on the depth chart. 2 4 Quote Link to comment

After seeing the video that was posted where Allen totally ignored his position coach during a drill in spring ball and was subsequently kicked out of the drill the writing was on the wall. Allen came here because of Applewhite and apparently didn't mesh well with the new staff. The lack of mentions from the coaches while others were praised kind of raised a red flag to me.

Toe Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 @Decked The thing is, no one in the Frost era really played up to par. It's a pattern far beyond just a couple guys - during the Frost era, we were dead last among P5 schools at rate of turning 4-star+ guys into draft picks. Frost was fine at recruiting talent, but he was shockingly bad at player development. I don't think it's unreasonable at all to think that NPG - and any number of other Frost players - might have blossomed under other coaches. 2 5 Quote Link to comment

Didnt seem to have the size and physicality of a safety. At the end of the day if the kid could play he would have seen the field. He played for a 4 win big ten west team. Quote Link to comment

But he also didn’t show anything this semester either. Quote Link to comment
