Nobody really wants to talk about it, but as Paul Oren has pointed out, someone has left the program every year since 2003. Just when people are saying "peace" and "security!" ... ye know not the day nor the hour.
Here's a totally random assessment from someone on the internet who lives like a thousand miles away, so it must be legit.
Not going anywhere ("out", in NFL injury terms)
Keith Carter
E Victor Nickerson
Darien Walker
Shane Hammink
All these people have either just sat out a year and/or have just a year of eligibility remaining. So...in the words of Chris Rock, "never say never? I'M saying NEVER."
Could, but doubt it ("doubtful" on the NFLgamblers' injury report)
Alec Peters -- if Bryce leaves, and he and his girlfriend break up, and possibly completely forgets who he is (be on watch for: tattoos)
Jubril Adekoya -- lost his starting job and didn't pout, still saw a lot of PT, so you would hope not...
David Skara -- sure, this European forward won't go anywhere. plenty of promise, outside shooting touch, good fundamentals...what? you were talking about Sam Haänpaä? Oh.
Tevonn Walker -- maybe a big school comes calling. Izzo, or someone with fewer scruples, needs guys like this.
Lexus Williams -- the band still went on tour without him. Not saying he would, but if he could go somewhere else and play immediately because of the injury redshirt? I'm not sure if the recent NCAA loophole closure applies to this type of case. I hope it does.
Chandler Levingston Simon -- He had a scholarship somewhere else; he may want one along with more PT.
You never know ("questionable")
Max Joseph
Nick Davidson
Obviously the writing is on the wall here for them; PT will be even scarcer than this year. But hear me out; I have a solution that will make everyone happy. (Not to steal from my upcoming PT thread or anything.)
OH NO HE'S GOING TO BANG REDSHIRT DRUM AGAIN ISN'T HE
Hear me out: plan to redshirt them both (unless break glass in case of injury). We have plenty of guards next year. BUT the year after that, less so. And none are coming in this year.
SO
Max Joseph would get plenty of run in 2017-19, and maybe Davidson then sees Joseph-like minutes from this year. If not, then he might just be able to pull a Will Bogan: graduate in 3 and still have 2 to play somewhere that he'd play more.
What sayest thou?
