Thatās where Iām at too. College basketball lost me years ago for this same reason. My favorite thing was watching a freshman grow into an excellent player over time, now itās hardly worth knowing their names.
Just a few days ago you were posting a pic of Underwood saying that he was staying with LSU and basically laughing at Michigan. Now what?? This is why as a Notre Dame fan I have learned not to laugh at my arch rivals ā¦it will burn you every time. Ok I liedā¦I canāt help but laugh at Spartan fans
It is a business and in the past kids only got a free education if they stayed healthy. They would get hurt and the school would pull their scholarships.
I like to say if you can not win the starting job at your HS/College you sure as hell aināt gonna be an NFL QB. Then you get guys like Burrow and you are likeā¦shut up dumbass.
Hell MSU had on their roster 3 NFL QBs at one time. As I recall both Cousin, Hoyer, and Foles. Foles transferred out and was eventually a SB MVP
So while I agree with the stay and learn and fight. I think we all just need to accept the path is the path. It is going to be unique for each player. Look and Mayfield and his pathā¦friggin crazy. Hurts is literally a hybrid. Stay a year to learn from Saban on the bench and THEN transfer out as a grad as I recall.
I think the real theme that Saban and Brady are discussing without clarity is resilience. That is the number 1 trait all top players display. And how to you show it, teach it, create it for a player. One way for sure is fighting through being second string. But that is not the only way.
