This kid is not a free agent. He is just trying to further his academic career by going to prestigious commuter school in Tampa.

The Koch brothers paid for a symposium class on how to read hit piece articles fully and do 30 seconds of Google-fu before breathlessly posting them on sports forums. You don't have to pay, you can just crash it if you 'support' the school in other ways.

That will be Barnett's third stop after Alabama and Arizona St. We'll see if this latest move actually gets him some playing time.

The QB transferring out of Ohio State is visiting UNC this weekend and will decide between Cincinnati, LSU, and UNC. Apparently his visit to Cincy went better than LSU, but LSU is still scrambling hard for him.

He's canceled his trip to UNC. It's between Cincinnati and LSU. Either way, we don't like it :)

Alright with me. More confusion the better for those guys. Also who knows? Maybe Narcisse will now be looking for a new home? You think he is interested in going five years between playing live football games (after being hurt his senior year in high school)?

Advocate LSU beat reporter implies it may be McMillan that hits the road since he graduates in July.

These guys want to play now (like any of us would) so I doubt any one of them falls into Fritz's lap. However I still guess it's MLTN that some transfer from somwhere (JUCO or wherever) joins the team in August to provide depth behind Banks.

McMillan was not some kind of blue chip recruit in HS that would expect to be courted like a savior. Our setup is a good one for him: instant backup & most likely 2019 starter. He won't see many better opportunities at the FBS level.

I'd like to see us get McMillan but I don't think he wants to keep sitting. Hope I'm wrong. I'm not sold on Narcisse. Good runner but shaky throwing.
We deserve so much better
