Elias Ricks (DB LSU, transfer to Bama)

Didn't Cavazos and Ricks plan on playing together at one point? Gotta think that helps a little as well.

He’s also from Rancho Cucamongo and apparently stays in contact with Stroud.

and I wonder if this means Coombs is coming back next year. Why would you have a lame duck coach talk to such an important talent ?

They are saving a roster spot for the next OSU WR that can't get any PT here.

Fleming?

Why is Ricks leaving LSU?

I believe the proper question is, “How many players are staying at LSU?”.

Sounds like an opportunity to correct an error made coming out of high school.

It’s amazing that it happened in the first place. The fact that it’s taken this long? Well… I guess I get trying to make a go of it where he landed. But at some point, he’s got to call a spade a spade and get the fuck out for himself. Go somewhere he’ll have a good education and enjoy the athlete / academic experience.

Visited USC last weekend. Visiting OSU this weekend.

We need this one here.

Apparently OSU isn’t pursuing any further because of worries other CBs would transfer. Which who cares unless said CBs are named Denzel Burke.

Choosing Johnson and Hancock for multiple seasons, vs Ricks for one season and losing the other two, makes sense to me.

Eh. If we have a team that runs from competition we have a bigger problem with entitlement

 

[Honor&Glory]

mentally soft all around.

I mean its always great to trade 2 for 1 and possibly lose some commits… plus what happens when Coombs is fired/retires/moves on like many expect to happen?

I mean we’ve never had a depth issue at DB before.

I’m sure everyone is still upset over 1 year of Haskins and 2 of Fields vs 2 of Burrows then ??

Wow. Don't know what to think of this. Feel's like we aren't getting the entire story. Was going to say Bama/Saban would never make this decision, but apparently they did with regards to Ricks.
We could use some good news soon about something.
Even if it just a fake nugget.
