Toure entering transfer portal

[Filthy McGrizzly]

Right now, athletes at UM on scholarship, have their scholarships renewed on a year to year basis. If they underperform, they can, and will, have their scholarship rescinded. So here we have a player like Toure, who stayed all the way until his graduation date, couldn’t play his SR year due to decisions beyond his control, and is now moving on post graduation to further his career. He more than outperformed his scholarship. I don’t have a problem with it. The BSC screwed over all of these players and coaches.

FWIW, Toure transferring to say, Oregon State isn’t as much that they’re an excellent program as it is him being able to face better competition. The question scouts will have is can he do it against better completion. Sure, he can toast Northern Colorado. How’s he going to do against Oregon? Against Washington? And it’s not just one game a year, but almost every game. Him moving up a level just answers more questions about his game to scouts. Same reason Jabril Cox from NDSU transferred up a level.

Great post.

How is Cox doing at LSU?

Great post.

Think he’s doing decent. Nothing eye popping but last I read he’s like their 3rd leading tackler. Had a pick 6 that first game.

One of 3 LSU players invited to Senior Bowl. Leads team in solo tackles.

Whatever his reasons I sincerely hope things work out for the young man! I don't buy the idea that this decision was based solely on the basis of wanting to play at a theoretic stronger level of competition. There are no guarantees that will happen. Further, in today's environment if you are good enough, pro scouts will find you, whether you are playing at St. Augustana, University of Montana or Alabama! Once you are on their radar and given a chance, the rest is up to you! Where you played and what you did your final year of college is not going to make an ounce of difference! It's not even what you did yesterday in camp. It's what you do today, tomorrow and everyday thereafter that will decide your future!

I am sure this was not an easy decision for him. It may be that after he completed his degree he felt that he had also learned all he could from the coaching staff here and he wants to expand his football knowledge from a new source. How can one possibly begrudge a decision like that?

Sounds nice. But, no.

On Tootell and Nuanez, Hauck mentioned that Toure was here to play his sr. season in the fall and get to the next level. His moving on is looking for another avenue to do that.

Nobody has to like it.

I "commit to the grizzles" until I change my mind, that word doesn't mean much anymore.

No different than coaches. He didn't commit for four years. No one does. They get one-year scholarships only renewed if the coaches determine you're worthy from year to year. Coaches may sign multi-year contracts, but they all have buy-out clauses. Why? Because they aren't that committed.

...thank him for what he did...
...good luck on what he's going to do..
...once a griz..always a griz..

And when the coaches decide to take away a scholarship, because of performance or lack thereof, how do you feel then?

 

[PTGrizzly]

Remind me--not just Cooper Kupp, but Samson Ebukom and Nsimba Webster with the Rams, and where's Kendrick Bourne? Meanwhile how 'bout Big Play V.A.? Coaches would do well to remind players like Samori how it works if they really are great players at FCS

this!!

I don’t think going to a bigger school increases Toure’s chance at making it in the NFL. Doesn’t increase his chance at getting drafted. He’s getting drafted no matter what.

Going to a bigger school increases his chance at getting drafted higher. With a higher draft choice comes better job security, and more importantly, more money.

Not to raise fears but once fall practice was over could the transfer be a reflection on who wants/doesn't want spinning the rock to him?

My understanding is that he had issues with the training table.

OMG, you are such a troll... When are you going to stop blaming EVERYTHING on the training table. I have seen the training table, and talked to very high up people about the training table and can guarantee you it isn't that.

it doesn't mean they weren't committed just not good enough for the roster, tough call but you know that when you sign
but
to be good enough and decide to call it quits, well hard time seeing that

You probably never uttered the word, so to people that have , well you figure it out if you can.

“C’mon man!” He broke Randy Moss’s record.
And graduated during Covid!
Just be grateful we had him as long as we did.

Old school vs. new school

 

[CDAGRIZ]

GL to the fella. Old school, by definition, isn't the way of the world. There was a really old partner at my old firm who didn't believe in having a computer. He had his secretary print out every email he received, and then dictate a response for her to transcribe. She would then have to print out the transcription for him to make redline edits before she finally sent the response. Every email. He died. She doesn't have to to that anymore.

Kids be transferring. The way she goes, boys.

I feel like appreciating that the schollie can now be applied to a recruit (or recruits) with a higher probability of the expected performance. Pretty simple.
