Good thing we didn't try to let him transfer here or let his brother stick around. Not like we've been in need of good running backs or linebackers the last few years.
Agreed, but Arthur transferring for a second time would have meant he had exactly two years to play here and that's if the NCAA didn't put a stop to it. Not putting any effort into keeping Bryce on campus was a stupid assed decision.
And I'm pretty sure he'd have been the best linebacker on campus any of those years. Plus we had empty roster spots to burn.
And I think Poole would have been a lot more effective as a situational guy that just caught some swing passes. His big plays in 2011 were all receptions.
And he was a good enough runner, as well as Bryce being a good receiver, that you couldn't just adjust your defense depending on which back was on the field.
I agree, I just don't know if the NCAA would have allowed it. I will say, any coach worth a damn jumps through every hurdle asked to get that kind of talent here, though.
He was decent enough when he got some open space around. Finding the open space was rather problematic.
