When we signed Yogi, he was a state top 100 qb, at least according to some media sources- one of only a handful that we signed in '08... I don't know who else offered him, but we were high on him at the time... His cousin, Elvis, was a standout safety, so he is entrenched in the Frog family...
I would love for him to stay and possibly change positions- he could do a Luttrell and play defense or possession receiver...

I didn't realize he was Elvis' cousin. Elivs was a good guy.

If true I wish him well.
I can understand him wanting to play and appreciate his coming to TCU.

I would hope that they signed both of them because they think that both are good enough to start, not sign one to start and the other simply to be the back-up. Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying, but I hope that our staff didn't see Yogi play in HS and say "that kid is gonna be a good back-up QB, let's sign him".

One year at Blinn would be good for him. Give the family some time to set up a pay-for-play campaign. Since we know these are legal now, no reason to not do it. I wish him the best and hopefully his family gets a nice contract.
On another note, I don't see the issue if he leaves. He would be 3rd string next year.... Two quarterbacks is more than enough. If you have to go to a 3rd string, it's all but over anyways.

Hard to explain in an internet forum, but I think some kids are signed that are "good enough to start" but the staff may plan on other starters during their period of eligiblity. You try not to have any misses, but I think the staff has expectations about who is more likely to step up and be the starter when there are multiple good players at any position.

I see what you're saying. That would likely arise from a situation where you missed on your top several targets at that position during the recruiting process and were forced to settle for someone who was "good enough" as opposed to someone who was "good". I'm sure that happens at times.

Sounds like it is happening even less than it used to. Exciting time to be a Frog in all aspects.

I agree. I wish this thread would die. We still have one more game left.

It is no different here at TCU than it is at Auburn, Oregon, or Name It U. Twenty two starters (not counting special teams) and the rest are back ups. Its hard to keep quality depth behind quality starters when a kid sees opportunity elsewhere. Wish the ones that leave well and appreciate the ones that stay and contribute to the team. I beleve our coaching staff has done very well in that regard.

He may have had a talk with coach. Yogi transferring is a win / win for him and TCU. He'll get a chance to play football somewhere. We'll get a scholly back.
