Think the usual mid-level ACC suspects (Duke, Wake, UVA, BC, Ga Tech) make sense considering how much he seemed to value academics out of HS.

Loy has mentioned that another RB could come in the 21' class though we don't have a shot with any on the board. As, Edwards is really the only guy on it. Wonder if we'll get some scholarships out to guys we can try and flip.

Whoever they try and flip, they better make sure they think they are better than Diggs. I wouldn't be too happy about that if I was Diggs.

Wish him the best.

Was hoping he'd be the hammer, or thunder, in our running game this year. I can certainly understand it if he wanted to transfer being far down the depth chart, but leaving mid season is a bad look. No harm though. We still have two underclassmen as the top 2, and another three for depth.

One thing to keep in mind why some guys leave the team, they need 24/7 to get on top of classwork to graduate early. Staff in many cases prefers this as it opens up the scholarship in time for a new player in the current recruiting class.

I don't see how he could, rationally, be upset about adding another RB. We had 6 RB's on the depth chart. We were projecting to lose 1, so we were expecting to take 1. Now we have 5 RB's on the depth chart expecting to still lose 1 more. So, we're adding another. Seems like simple math.

not enough carries to go around

not enough carries to go around

Wish we could have given him more shots as i think he is our biggest hard running straight ahead guy we have. hope he does well elsewhere. Not like he was going to preserve a year of eligibility by walking away now and without a degree. That is too bad. No real power back to win a head to head meeting at the lOS. Jafar runs too upright, Tyree too small, C'Bo runs really hard but still maybe 200 at the most and Tryen is 190 which is still 190. Would like to see Tremble take the FB dive a few more times.

Do we get all these guys for 3-4 more years given this year doesn't count if we don't want it to?

In my opinion BK is a bit cold when he announces these departures. Would it hurt to thank him for his effort and wish him the best even just for a good look to others.

He does it in a very, corporate, way. "He is no longer with us" tone. I agree it's not warm, but he's also being professional without feeding rumor mills / reporters with info. So, I'm fine with his approach.

Don’t know what he’s struggling with but good for him for reaching out to get help and focus on his health.

And this is why you don't kill dudes for quitting/transferring etc. until you have the whole story.

Very impressive for a young man to admit his struggles and try to fix them. No matter what Jahmir does in life he will be successful.

Does this qualify for medical? If it doesn't, these things should.

Hell yeah!

Go make some defenders look silly as part of a really great program, Jahmir.

Good landing spot for him. If he can have a breakout year it should set him up nicely as a late round draft pick.
