Perhaps you should consider the fact that there are some of those “transfer kids” who didn’t have a choice. The majority of the football players who have entered the portal from UH were essentially shown the door by CWF and his staff. Logan is learning a hard life lesson. Produce or be gone. Whether fair or unfair, it doesn’t matter. Life isn’t always fair.
That’s very interesting. I thought that might be the case, but it’s good to have my suspicion confirmed by a player’s dad. And I do hope for the best for Logan. I think he’ll be a good pass catching tight end wherever he ends up.
How does that work exactly. Do they say produce or we pull your scholarship ?
Or is it more like, you are not compatible with what we want to do here, we are going to pull your scholarship, you need to find a spot somewhere else.
In the case with this coach and his staff, it went something along the lines of this (or some variation of according to players that also held their “exit interviews” with CWF…“We think you are good at X and feel you need to do better at Y. That said, we see you more as a player on the FCS or D2 level. We don’t see you being more than a scout team player here at UH.” It is essentially CWF’s style of telling those players “you should put your name in the portal and try to make it somewhere else.” It’s my opinion that they have a lot of uncertainty at some key positions and they want to get as much depth as possible in the hopes that some players work out and become high level contributors. I can’t speak for the others, but I don’t think they had anything to go by (film of actual play in games) when evaluating Logan. I feel like they probably thought to themselves that if he was going to be anything, he probably would have already done something. I think it is really just the landscape of the business nature of college football today. If you’re not in the starting lineup early and often, then you are going to be replaced. There is just too strong of expectations for coaches to win and win now. It took CWF 6 years to get to really good records at Tulane. I think we can all agree that our leadership and fans are not going to give CWF and his staff 6 years to begin having great seasons at UH.
Yeoman’s running attack used only 2 WR’s. One TE, 2 RB’s.
Fritz goes one RB. He then may go with 2 WR’s and 2 TE’s. At best he uses 3 WR’s.
Dana used 4 WR’s. That means an automatic reduction of at least 25% of WR positions. Add in more blocking requirements and you lose more WR’s. Then you add more discipline, etc.
This exactly … only so many WR can play - I actually remember - at the end of Dana’s tenure - it seemed like the only time we saw a recruiting “boom” (or even a recruiting commit) - it was a receiver… It is no surprise that we are re-balancing there.
I remember the Helton days, when he tried to go majority run game! Although his logic was good, the end result was disastrous!
Hopefully the triple option will prove to be different.
It sucks right now but think about the opportunity to make it somewhere else? We all have been shown the door at one time in our lives. How we respond is what defines you, defines all of us. I am sure your son is taking the approach of working, studying twice as hard. We are wirh him please tell him that.
I was hoping Logan would get a good chance to play this year for the Coogs. But, when they brought in that other TE, I figured the writing was on the wall. Hope he has great success wherever he lands. He may want to go where Coley goes … I think they would make a good team.
I just hate that Logan never got a chance to be his full self. It’s hard to judge someone who isn’t fully healthy. His tape when he’s healthy was really good I was high on him.
