Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3188472, member: 549"] Really good read if you have access... [MEDIA=twitter]1141698206016913410[/MEDIA] >>It has become easier than ever for unsatisfied players to leave and start over at another school. These daily transactions — promising talents leaving decent situations to test their luck, backups preferring to bail instead of battle, freshmen leaving after one semester — have become the dominant conversation of this offseason. How will their coaches adapt and adjust?<< >>What does he mean by that? Patterson argues too many kids come in under the mistaken impression that what they are right now is good enough, and thus they think they’re ready to play when they’re not. He argues only 1 percent are good enough to get to the NFL on ability alone, and everyone else needs to grow up and go through the process. He aims to build his program with players who embrace that truth and who want to be coached hard.<< >>“A lot of guys talk about the de-recruitment process,” Shaw said. “You tell them how much you love them, then when they get here, you coach them hard. That shocks guys, right? Especially now with the transfer portal, they’ll think, ‘Hey, you were a different guy when you recruited me? Maybe I shouldn’t be here.’ ” << [/QUOTE]
