I figure we should probably start a thread, because I imagine there will be more to come:

Damn, a little surprised about Marshall, at the end of 2019 it looked like he was going to be a big part of the offense the following year.

Yeah, I didn't see Marshall leaving. That's a big loss.

I think a slight change in the offense and the young wide receivers have probably changed Marshall’s role in the offense versus what it would have been if Choate had stayed.

Super surprised at Marshall leaving, especially after his role in the SHC. Seems like a guy that WILL get on the field somewhere.
Bohannon also surprises me given the wide open field for playing time in the secondary. I thought he was a guy that might be able to move to safety and was going to get minutes.
Bummer...

Only so many jet sweeps a guy can run. i wish him well and thanks.

Really? He had some nice plays running jet sweeps, so basically as a pseudo RB. He never really showed much as a WR.
All this tells me is that we have younger and better players on the roster, so he’s leaving to get playing time elsewhere. Big loss? I just don’t see how.

Yeah, a big loss of potential maybe but not production. The young guys looked good on Saturday.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 12:29 pmReally? He had some nice plays running jet sweeps, so basically as a pseudo RB. He never really showed much as a WR.

Yeah, Really! He shined when he played in 2019, in only four games by the way to preserve his eligibility. He smoked the griz when he got the ball, sure on fly sweeps but he had great balance and speed. He also did a good job against UNC and scored against Southern Utah. He was dynamic with the ball. He didn't catch many passes because the Cats didn't throw much. Check out his JC film and he had some nice catches in the Sonny Holland scrimmage too.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 12:29 pmReally?

I had identified him as our #2 receiver behind Stewart. He was about to have a very, very productive year. Bummer.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 12:37 pmYeah, Really!

My Thoughts as well AFCAT. While I was impressed watching the WRs in the scrimmage, I think this group looked better than we've had in a while, I figured Marshall would get lots of time in the slot... Kids got wheels.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 12:37 pmYeah, Really! He shined when he played in 2019, in only four games by the way to preserve his eligibility.

He was a nice player, I’m not saying otherwise, but he isn’t a big loss by any means. Again, there’s a reason he’s transferring. He wants to play. Which means there are better players on the roster.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 12:37 pmYeah, Really! He shined when he played in 2019, in only four games by the way to preserve his eligibility.

A big loss would be Lewis Kidd, or Ifanse. Marshall? He’s replaceable.

This made me literally laugh out loud. Thanks!Best of luck to both these guys, hope they find whatever they are looking for in their next school (weather, area, playing time, coaching).

Cool, you can have your opinion and I'll have mine. Among the current wide receivers, I don't see a player that was as dynamic as Marshall was in 2019. To me, Marshall is a big loss in that room. I sincerely hope I'm proved wrong come Fall.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:14 pmHe was a nice player, I’m not saying otherwise, but he isn’t a big loss by any means.

I’m a broken record, but Charles Brown is the most dynamic WR on the team, and it isn’t close, before and after this.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:21 pmCool, you can have your opinion and I'll have mine.

I should have put Marshall behind Coy Steel. Coy is also pretty dang good. I think Brown may be great too, especially returning punts and kicks, but he hasn't played a snap yet and is an unknown right now for me. Jaden Smith could be a superstar. A lot of talent for sure. Now, let's find someone that can get them the ball.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:32 pmI’m a broken record, but Charles Brown is the most dynamic WR on the team, and it isn’t close, before and after this.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:21 pmCool, you can have your opinion and I'll have mine.

That’s a bummer. Both of these transfers are surprising to me...
This happens every year though, with every program. Especially when u have a coaching change.

Coy Steel is a really nice slot, whom I wish played more than Patterson, but I wouldn’t call him dynamic at all. He’s not overly athletic in comparison to his peers.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:35 pmI should have put Marshall behind Coy Steel. Coy is also pretty dang good.

Yeah, getting off topic from the thread title... but lots of young talent at wr... maybe marshal saw that coming. Jaden smith for example- I see this guy turning into an absolute star.
