Word is he's looking to grad transfer to KSU.  Probably not really in the mix here and more of a fit in a 4-3.

 
Good luck to Peyton.  He was someone who was highly regarded coming out of HS, and Bo won a recruiting battle with some big schools for him.  Not sure what happened here, but he just  never seemed to click.

And I am guessing we may here about a couple more guys leaving the program once school starts back up next week.

Good luck to the kid! Never really found his groove here. Will be interesting to see what Old Balls Snyder can do with him. In all honesty I'm afraid our last coaching staffs inability to develop players is going to become more and more apparent

 
Well, good luck to him.

Is it just my perception or have we had more than our share of supposedly high ranked (high for us anyway) recruits that just really haven't contributed much by the time they leave? Newell, Gates, DPE come immediately to mind. I've never followed recruiting very closely and this is a big reason why but it just seems like we haven't had much luck with our higher ranked recruits. I would tend to blame the lack of player development under our last 2 coaches or is it just a string of bad luck on something that amounts to little more than hit or miss?

I think DPE would have been a big contributor but injuries early on really derailed his career

I get what you are saying, but you can't group these together.  DPE and Gates were 3 year starters.  Newell was lucky to see the field for 3 plays/game.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I expect more stories to emerge about the best players not playing, player development efforts being poor, and generally hapless and clueless coaching decisions.

but why transfer now that the old staff is gone?  

 
I usually transfer too when I’m about to be coached by an undefeated coaching staff that yields a head-coach fancied with coach of the year awards.  Just kidding... but seriously.
