Yea, makes discussion difficult. Differing viewpoints are understandable but just making things up or “hearing things from a guy that overheard someone else talking about a rumor” gets really old.

He "left" because Mike Bohn wouldn't extend his deal and instead offered him an effective pay cut.

This was all highly preventable.

I'm sorry, but if people aren't looking at what's going on right now and are ticked off then I guess they're just a lot more positive and accepting than me.

I see little to no hope moving forward this coach. He's a lame duck.
I remember... I would assume lurking.

This quote was actually from Cincruz on this thread, just a few pages back.

Bryson Spell, less than a month ago. “Cincinnati, and Arizona State are recruiting me the hardest right now. Pitt, Texas A&M, Creighton, Georgia Tech, Davidson, College of Charleston, New Mexico, and Maryland have had interest from some time now and have been keeping up with my season so far.”

I head a rumor that him and Ralph were in fact the same person. True?

But like you said it can happen for all kinds of reasons, maybe some of those teams backed off because they saw he had more interest in other programs and didn’t see a chance at landing him. But for your narrative it’s because he wasn’t as good or it was in some way his fault.

My narrative is that from what we can tell, we are the highest major school that offered him and was still pursuing him.

Maybe ASU, Pitt and others never offered him because they knew they couldn't beat out an imploding UC program. Who knows.

My guess is he is seeing all the transfers and knows he better get on a team before spots start to fill up. He gave up waiting on and hoping for a high major offer and took the best offer available.
