Kuntz disenrolled!

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Is this a pitch for VC memberships? lol

Hey Joe.
If you no VC, you enemy!

 

[JeremyND07]

Are you implying more transfers?

I think the only way we are going t find out is to send GG your credit card number for VC membership lol...$12 a year hmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[JeremyND07]

My guess is Hand. damn it why am I always right. This sucks I thought he would be a sleeper this year.

My guess is Hand too...is there another DT recruit we can go after or reoffer Omar. Maybe if he knows he will be starting it will change his mind! I know he walked away from the team but he is just a kid he can change his mind....3-4 defense with NO DT...will look a lot like last year but worse without Laws!!!!!

Have you ever thought that GG is just playing to join the VC???? JK, but you really should join it.

Well I think people should join, but it's not like I get the money from it.

Hey, if I was Paddy, Emaka or Kallen I would be looking at this as my chance to prove I belong on the field this fall. They will get tons of reps in spring ball. One of them could step up and suprise us all. The door is open guys, step up and you will seal yourself playing time.

Via BGS:

"Coach Weis and I are on the same page about everything," Kuntz said. "We've been in contact. We'll stay in contact, and we still have the same ultimate goal, and that's me being a big part of the defense in 2008.

"I still feel like I'm part of my team. If I can get up in the spring to some spring practices, I am going to do that. I've got great friends there. I'm not planning on distancing myself from the team whatsoever. I'm gone, but I'm not done -- not the least little bit."

And:

Obviously this means that he will miss spring practice, but he was going to have to sit out the spring anyway as he rehabs from the torn knee ligaments he suffered in the Air Force game. His back injury against Navy also turned out to be a chipped bone in his spine, which also will take some time to heal.

In the meantime, there is now a huge opportunity for, well, pretty much any player who wants to make an impact on the defensive line this spring. With Justin Brown and Ian Williams likely holding down two of the three starting spots, there is a wide open race for the final starting spot. The main contenders -- Kallen Wade, Paddy Mullen, Derrell Hand, Emeka Nwankwo, and early enrollee Sean Cwynar -- are all very inexperienced with only a combined 37 minutes of playing time between them last season. A silver lining of this whole situation is that they will all get more reps in practice and a better chance to showcase their development.

If Kuntz is able to make it back for the Fall, then the overall impact of his semester away shouldn't be all that great. However, if for whatever reason he is not able to return, then the Irish defensive line will be in desperate need of a player to step up the way that Kuntz himself rose to the challenge last season. Because Kuntz did play as a freshman, he will have one season of eligibility left even if he is forced to miss the 2008 season.

Are there any free agents we can pick up in order to replace Kuntz, in case he can't come back?

 

[SoCalDomer]

From what I've heard It really doesn't have anything to do with his back. He tanked his German class and lost his schollie, but but CW pulled some strings and if he can get things worked out this summer he'll be good to go this fall.

hmm... that's funny, I heard Liar Liar pulled some strings at FLA so that the players he didn't think were putting in enough effort were declared ineligible.

(end sarcasm)

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Dang.

 

[Junkhead]

I found it weird that Ian Williams was credited with 45 tackles as opposed to Kuntz's 42. Didn't Pat have way more playing time? Anyway, Kuntz was much better than I was expecting last year, and I hope to have him back!
