I'll have 5 season tickets in 204 next year. I'll be forking over for multiple basketball season tickets too. Looking at two P5 road trips is going to be pricy but I'm budgeting for it. VT and NCSU are too close not to go.
You would think we could get 50% or more of them to travel 90 minutes to Blackburg, right?

But many of the players transferring are starters, especially QBs, and softball players. I could take all the softball players who transfer each year, put them on a team and make NCAA tournament.

I think most coaches are honest to players about playing time. It's one thing for a 3rd stringer to transfer, but when starters transfer, there's a problem.

Going further, I believe that anytime someone transfers, SOMEONE has a problem.JK37 wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2020, 11:09 am BC, honest question: do you think it’s right for coaches to be honest with players about their chances of playing time in an effort to help them go elsewhere to play more, if that’s what they wish?If I "looked hard enough" I might could see a player who is buried on end of bench.

Some 4 or 5 star chooses to play for the QB whisperer. Can anyone say Midas if the Heisman? They commit and he bails for an NFL job or for someone like Auburn, Florida, USC or FSU.I have never seen a uniform or helmet with the Coaches name on it. It's the school who is paying his scholarship. (now at some rogue programs, it could be the coach.)
Most of us in life would be better suited choosing our boss rather than a company. Why do we expect elite players to be any different?
ballcoach15 wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2020, 4:30 pmYou really think the majority of players are chosing the school not the coach? Coaches don't even matter then. In that case, you have even less credibility than you claim. That's your favorite bona fide.Class of 20Something wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2020, 4:22 pm What about players that chose a school because of the HC style of play? Let's say Lincoln Riley.

ballcoach15 wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2020, 4:30 pmThis is where you are completely and totally out of touch. 95% of athletes come to a school because of a coach. Period. All the other things are nice and certainly help but if there is a distrust or no chemistry with the coach then they ain’t coming.Class of 20Something wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2020, 4:22 pm What about players that chose a school because of the HC style of play?
