Classy, real classy.If so, pretty weak to not even try to compete with Pachall in the spring.

I didn't realize he was Elvis' cousin. Elivs was a good guy.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...
So why would they give 2 people at the same position scholarships in a year? You can't have 2 starting QBs.
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 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".
Nothing wrong with him transferring if he knows he isn't going to get any play time. He has enjoyed the TCU experience. Maybe he can transfer to a Lone Star Conference or Southland Conference school and play next year. With Pachall the heir apparent, Matt Brown right behind Yogi, and a couple of very good incoming freshman in 2011 it's hard for me to criticize Yogi if he decides to transfer.
If that is what he decides, then I wish him well.

Sounds like it is happening even less than it used to. Exciting time to be a Frog in all aspects.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.
I agree. I wish this thread would die. We still have one more game left.Not an appropriate topic--esp. based on an "I hear" rumor. Not fair to Yogi. Not fair to the team.
