RB Bri'onte Dunn (dismissed from team)

[Krenzelicious]

Might be gone. Unspecified violation of team rules.

 

[MD Buckeye]

Confirmed....

 

[Krenzelicious]

Damn. Glad he got his degree, but damn.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Well that's sucks. Wish him the best

 

[Bestbuck36]

Damn was hoping it wasnt this bad. Wonder if he transfers to another school to play with his one year left.

Oh... Nonononono! I really wanted to see him succeed this year. Have been rooting for him since he committed to UFM. Shame.

Leaves our RB corps dangerously thin.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

... Leaves our RB corps dangerously YOUNG.

wouldn't necessarily say 'thin'... there are a list of talented ball carriers... but most are still doing pablum

Weber, Williams, Samuels, Dontre, McCall.. and you could pull Noah Brown (6'1 240 lbs) in here if needed.. but would've been nice to have a senior to hold onto the ball in late Q4 with game close and clock winding down

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Too bad...I wish him the best. Was really hoping for a "how has he not played more" type season from him.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

Geeeez.

Good luck kid. Hope you find a place to play this fall.

Next man up.

Best of luck Brionte. Wish his career panned out better, as he was a major battle to keep his committment when Urban was first hired. At least he has his degree.

Bummer. Really thought he was poised this year to put up some nice stats. I didn't expect him to start, but given how much Urban likes his run game complimenting the passing game, he had an opportunity for minutes regardless of being a starter.

Do you think that moves Curtis Samuel into the backfield a little more frequently than maybe they would like? Also, thoughts on Williams redshirting before the dismissal vs. now?

 

[Tanner]

Time for Weber and Williams to step up. They are young and unproven but to quote Ol' Coop, "if a dog will bite he'll bite as a pup."

I'm not sure of the specifics of Dunn's dismissal but Meyer needs to be careful about instantly booting him, especially given how he handled Hyde and giving him a chance for redemption. Obviously, there will be details to follow, but I don't want Meyer to be labeled a hypocrite for dismissing an expendable 5th year player that probably wouldn't see much playing time....if that makes sense. If Dunn were Hyde would he be given a second chance? That's the question that I will keep in my mind as details unfold.
