DB John Robinson IV to transfer...

Not surprising. Best of luck to him moving forward. I know there's one more on the way that'll be equally unsurprising. I thought he should have gotten more of a shot this year but who knows what the deal was

Interesting no mention of Coach Edsall.

there are a lot of kids who were recruited/ played for Diaco who are very much still on his side. nothing against them and without being in those meeting rooms/ not having been coached by him we will never know how he truly was as a mentor or coach.

Hopefully none are left after the #purge.

It’s pretty standard to mention current coach when transferring. Very telling that he didn’t.

I have no problem with him mentioning Coach Fish Cakes.

Of course there are rumors out there as to another one, possibly two, but your comment seems to suggest this could involve several more. Do you have some inside knowledge on numbers HS, or is this more of a hunch?
 
Josh Reardon (DB coach under Diaco) is coaching safeties at Mercer. Maybe that's a potential landing spot.

When I look for landing spots, I look into their recently followed on Twitter. It's usually accurate as to where they're looking
 
I hope it all works out for him. These changes are hard on many kids who are caught in the middle. I'm sure many are grateful for the shot they were given by Diaco, especially those who might borderline IA. The problem is you can only have so many Rudys on a squad.

I’ve got no issues with him singing the praises of Diaco while neglecting to mention Edsall.

I’ve also got no issue with these kids leaving.

Yep recruited by Red Pants and REv2 didn't see a role for him. I wish him well.
 
As his comment indicates, he's a Diaco recruit, which probably put him at odds with Edsall from the outset. He then probably landed in the HuskyHouse after his arrest for DUI. The relationship was probably irreconcilable after that. Didn't exactly need tea leaves to foretell this one. Good luck, John.

On the other hand, it does make room for a DB more comfortable with his closing speed in order to bump & run and/or jam at the line of scrimmage.

I wish him the best. It's tough when a new regime comes in and you're no longer a good fit. Some people stick it out and some move on, you do what's best for you based on your situation and goals. I have no doubt that HCRE would have helped him grow as an individual, but if seeing the field is very important then he probably made the right call.
 
Best of luck to him...however, he was recruited by BD, so maybe he knew he won't be playing next year.

I think Edsall gave everyone on the roster he inherited a chance to earn a place in his system. Some just do not have what he was looking for. Diaco valued certain things, Edsall values others. I don’t think he would ever not play someone just because he was “Diaco’s guy.”

Cummings ended up in that league as OL coach for VMI I think.
