How would cutting Hickman (your example) benefit the team right now? Assuming they are at the 85 scholarship limit?
Remember saying this?It sure would be a breath of fresh air and a nice "counter", to strip a guy like Hickman of his scholarship if he doesn't pan out. Everything is now based on money and performance. It's all "real world" stuff now ... as the players wanted. This is the next necessary step in the free market. I would put "options" in any offer moving forward and give a player a set of guarantees based on performance. It's a business now.
But Hickman is the same size/built as FidoneCarnie needs to add more weight IMO. Hickman is just not going to work out he is just too slender. Fidone is basically confirmed not back. Think the top 3-4 is Travis, Rollins/Nate, Brewington
Carnie is about 6-5 225. Fidone was 242 on scale as I saw the other dayBut Hickman is the same size/built as Fidone![]()
He just doesn't have the recruiting stars and college football potential that Fidone has.

Well sure, it would be a fresh air to just "rip a scholarship" away. These kids just up and leave like a fart in the wind when they don't get what they want.Remember saying this?
It wasn't that long ago...
Oh, I guess you said "moving forward" so that absolves us even though you used a current player and situation.
You do you though...
Good grief…Well sure, it would be a fresh air to just "rip a scholarship" away. These kids just up and leave like a fart in the wind when they don't get what they want.
YES! It would be wonderful if it happened that way. It won't ... and that's all good. From a "vent" standpoint, if the new elites view [and we see that everywhere now], you can just define your own terms and "get what you can get", then by all means, I would love for this mindset to be reversed even this year on any of these knuckleheads.
I'm humored that you are arguing and it appears trying to "trap me", instead of reading what I'm stating/saying. I've made 4-5 posts now on this and you just sort of "needle" what you think I said without really seeing the "bigger picture".
Oh well. I do know what you are saying. If you need to "win" something ... okay, you win. It is a forum ... so, it's totally cool to "do you though". I can state my view. For whatever reason, you think I'm stating something I'm not and you really think I'm going to somehow get that down so you have to take 4-5 posts to really try to shake me down and correct me. What gives ... geez.
Say, we are actually rooting for the same team ... so, Go Big Red!
Definitely more pass catching types than previous years which will lend well to an offense like Whipple’s. I’m worried that besides Vokolek who will be able to block. Not too many bigger bodies this year. Brewington will be good as a specialist. Nate & Rollins will be a good battle. Although as suggested, I think it will be very fluid.I get the feeling Boerkircher will be TE2, behind Vokolek. Will also see Chancelor Brewington a lot, #2-3. The TE room will be "ok" until a healthy Fidone adds into the mix (after OU for sure - maybe in the stretch run).
Isn't Newsome #6?. I'm rooting for Alante to get some PT and do well. He's stuck around and put in the work and if I remember correctly he was a QB in HS. He's a pretty good athleteI know that this is just practice but who did he make that catch on??? Bc the db was in great position just has to turn his head that's all. Unbelievable catch through MJ got those boys making catches.
Think so and yeah Alante was a qb but if i remember correctly he was the number #1 prep player in the country. He definitely will get playing time just hope the whole offense turns the corner!!!Isn't Newsome #6?. I'm rooting for Alante to get some PT and do well.
