He had too many options in his head presnap with the RPO IMO. I believe Fitz played better with Aeris in the lineup cause he had more confidence in not getting killed so if the RB blocks then Fitz feels better back there. And I believe he would've had a higher confidence level in his WRs too, cause LSU's are better.

Fitz doesn't suck as bad as folks think in the right circumstances. I do believe he was selfish in a few games in 2nd half of schedule tho.

Fitz is terrible but let's talk recruiting.

No team is letting their 1st round pick play RB in college.

Then don't draft him 1st round. Ealy has the leverage

No, $5M+ has the leverage. He can push a little, but he's not giving up that money.

And with Ealy I still think if he goes to college to play both baseball and football he comes here over Clemson.

Finally the two voices of reason. It's difficult to come here with all these frantic and negative posts towards our coaches, players and recruits. Some just need to back away and let this play out.

Yeah this decision has been made for quite awhile now.

With Ealy and baseball is there really anything that can happen other than horrific injury that would push him out of the first round?

Most of you are missing the big picture with Ealy... he Decommitted form OM .. and it’s between MLB , MSU and Clemson.. Just sit back and drink it in..

West Virginia two year starter at center Matt Jones will be a graduate transfer and leave West Virginia.

I usually don't ask about random grad transfers because there are so many, but given the area this kid is from and the need at center with Jenkins going, does anyone think Moorhead might give that one a go?

And Charles Moore lists his new Top 3. We aren't even in it

Long three years

Darryl Williams is our center. I don't see us going after a Center.

He told another reporter something different this morning. It's probably best not to take what he says to heart too much the next month.

Good lord. This is horrendous. Don't get me wrong. Hope we end up with the kid. But this is case and point how not to do this.

I think Ari and IYOK said it's best, just to chill, I agree. Let's just support our Bulldog efforts and let the professionals do their job! Hail State!

Sloppy Joe clearly hasn?t figured out how to work with recruits who have relatively minor off the field issues. This ain?t Fordham or even Penn State...we can?t afford to lose kids with Moore?s talent who grew up in the shadow of Davis Wade...
