Transfer Portal?

[J-MAGIC]

Yay Mitch, way to take what was said out of context and put your own inference on it. Great reporting! 

This is like Journalism 101 that Mitch is screwing up here. 

"Reporting" is sharing verbatim quotes or information that you can confirm to be true. If Frost had said "Luke McCaffrey already transferred twice," or he had asked a follow up question, "Were you talking about Luke McCaffrey?" and Frost said yes, Mitch would be 100 percent within his rights and job description to share what he did the way he did.

"Editorializing" is when you take information from a source and apply your own assumptions to it. So "Well, he didn't mention Luke McCaffrey by name but everyone knows he's talking about him, so I'm fine to report it as fact." Editorializing is acceptable in columns or editorials but not in reporting.

In the grand scheme of things this isn't that serious but not a single serious journalism person would cosign Mitch's actions here and he's an absolute clown for trying to defend them the way he is. I subscribe to The Athletic because they are the last place that covers baseball really well and I love the Cubs writers but I wish The Athletic would hire someone who can effectively report on our team .

I'm pretty sure I've seen a graph with a more detailed breakdown.  But I couldn't find it right off hand.

This is from last year but good info:

I don’t think this is bad for us.

Look at dem Ragin Cajuns. So much hype for them down here, being they’re the best team in Louisiana and all. 
 

might have to go to some games. Stadiums a dump, but they don’t know that. 1st game is at Texas.

Pro: We've got a lot coming back this year!

Con: So does everybody else...

Northwestern at 39%... ouch

Levi Lewis is a really nice QB and Napier is a helluva coach.

Those Wildcats won't use it as a crutch.  For us, however, we are real young.

Apparently we've got one Kyan Brumfield coming in from Texas Tech? He was a walk-on at TT, so I assume he will be here as well.

Graduated from Colgate in three years.  So that's not bad.

Defensive back who mainly played on special teams in his one year at TT.

 I would usually not get excited about a ST player, but we have been so horrific at ST’s under Frost, maybe they will actually start playing legit guys this season.....

FWIW: they did a roster update for the incoming players listing height/weight/headshots. Branson Yager the only one without an assigned number. Rumor is he’s been gone for a while. Enrolled early and was not listed on the spring game roster either.

Ronald Thompkins has retired from college football per his Twitter. Sad day we all knew was coming for a while but it’s sad to see such a promising player lose his career to injuries.
