Wonder how good he could have been if he had gone to a school that actually used TE's in their offense.
He had some significant offers coming out of high school.
I hear the new OC at Winston-Salem State has designed his offense around the TE.
Just got back from a coffee run - Anybody else get booted-out the last 15 minutes?
We have TEs on the roster? Someone alert Jim Grobe.
He voluntarily quit Sunday morning.
Man it is great to have a coach where a player voluntarily quits 2 games into the season. I say that with utmost sincerity. Both of our coaching staffs were a bunch of primadonas. I really love that we have guys from the previous regime quitting.
Now if this is happening with regularity in 4 years it won't be such a great thing, but it is very encouraging to see Clawson and Manning weed out the guys that aren't mentally tough enough to stick around.
Edited in response to the negrep that I received from StrickDeac:
If a player quits two games into the season I think it is very likely he is mentally weak. What has changed at this point in the year that he didn't already know a month ago? Where is Basford going to go right now that it is so urgent he leave his teammates after the 2nd game. He could transfer in December and still have the exact same amount of eligibility as he does by leaving now.
If he has had a tragedy of some sort in his family or life then I somewhat understand him leaving, although I am sure that if the situation warranted it our coaching staff would just give him a leave of absence from the team, but outside of that there is no sensible reason to walk out on your teammates 2 games into the college football season.

I think this relates to the concussion.
I'm waiting for the thread that says Ron Wellman has been dismissed.
A severe concussion, especially if it is not the first one you've had, would be a sensible reason to walk out on your teammates 2 games into the college football season.
