This will probably be considered an insult at the kid but I was never high on him from the get go.

We are better without him.

Good luck to the young man. Hope he gets his degree and finds success

They go into his leaving the team, and hear his side of it on the Here Come The Irish on Peacock.. Wish the kid well, he's had a tough go. All of his teammates support him, who cares what we think.
Totally. I couldn't possibly have any negative feelings about his decision to leave the team.

I didn't watch his side of the story, but I assume his mother's passing was a heavy burden for him. I've been through too much loss myself this past year between my father and wife, so I'm giving the kid a lot of grace. Good luck to him.

Just a bummer if we end up winning it all. I would think that could cause a skosh of regret. I also think he would have seen some decent PT with the injuries. Oh well. We can follow him next year. Hope he does better than most of our previous transfers. Has anyone transferred and gone on to the NFL? Maybe Drew Pyne will be that guy!

Sorry to hear of your loss Colin.

I still don't get it. He must've known about BenMo's nagging hip injury and that there was a good chance that he'd be - at worst - our third corner. Is saving a year of eligibility (for what? he's unlikely good enough to make a living playing NFL football) really worth leaving this team and missing this?

But, what's done is done. I'd missed he'd committed to Cal. Good luck to him, will be rooting for him out there.

Would have been really really nice to have had him on the field last night to spell Gray/Moore and just allowed more 6 DB situations.

Prolly go further with BSU vs. Cal. in terms of making and winning playoff games. Cal can get some good players in their early years, but can't keep 'em. That said, they got a potential QB stud in Mendoza. But again, if he balls out, he's likely peace out after this Fall and on to a leading Power 4 conference team.

As the article guy…I can’t believe you don’t already know that Mendoza transferred to IU.

You are correct - I knew that and totally spaced... I guess I still had that photo of him in Cal Yellow and Blue stuck in my head, but anyway, you get my point about Cal not keeping anyone beyond FR or SO year. Thanks for catching that incorrect info.
