With Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick ineligible, it leaves Randal Telfer, who practiced Monday night but was bothered by a knee injury in the offseason and true freshman Bryce Dixon, who cannot realistically be expected to block every down.
Offensive tackle Nathan Guertler will probably move over and become a blocking tight end with Chris Willson and Shane Sullivan also providing depth. This is where Xavier Grimble leaving early hurts but let’s also mention that Cope-Fitzpatrick also blew it, well aware he had a good chance to start.
And nobody feels worse about this than Cope-Fitzpatrick, Scottie……do you plan on printing T-shirts saying “Cope-Fitzpatrick blew it!”?
how about “we only have 67”?
How about getting a life?
that’s what nails always say to hammers.
Did you just call TF a tool?
Birds of a feather, flock together……now get the flock outta here!
I think he admitted that he was the tool
everyone clear out!! the Pun Masters are workin’ HARD today!!!
HAWR-HAWR!!!!
Cheeky, cheeky, cheeky.
I, too, find Scottie’s characterization callous.
Still, don’t you feel puzzled and somewhat disappointed in the player AND the academic supervision? JCF had already demonstrated adaptation to college academic demands. What happened, and why wasn’t it diagnosed in process, when amelioration might have been possible?
I agree… I do find this rather mind boggling and frustrating, but at the end of the day, it is the player who should be held accountable for his actions… or inactions….you can take a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink….
JCF was dating the academic supervisor.
Lame……….way to slander a complete stranger
I’m sorry, I forgot the question mark.
Okay……That makes it better……..
And Sark was planning on using the tight end spot liberally.
What now?
Two tight end prospects from California still on the board for next year might be:
Trey Dunkelberger, three star, 6’5″, 240 lbs., 4.55 forty from Pierce Junior College (with a name like that he should play basketball)
Matt Snyder, three star, 6’5″, 245 lbs., San Ramon, California (high school).
Don’t forget about possibly using the fullbacks, Pinner and Vainuku……at 270 lbs, Soma is a beast……..he weighs almost as much as our LT Chad Wheeler, who is 280 lbs….
Fullback will essentially become halfbacks..
Kylie Fitts, the UCLA DEFENSIVE END, walked out of UCLA today and is looking to transfer. Fitts was disappointed that USC had to pull back its scholarship offer to him in 2013 (USC had few scholarships to give out). And Jordan Lasley a three star high school recruit won’t participate in Fall practice sessions for unstated reasons.
Actually, his scholarship wasn’t pulled, Kifin just wouldn’t allow him to enroll early….he is now rumored to be considering Oregon and USC, although Notre Dame was one his finalists when he was being recruited….
Walking out on your team for lack of playing time is going to be a red flag to other teams – couldn’t he find a sick grandma somewhere he could claim he was close to and needed to change schools?
Mora had nice things to say about this kid…i don’t think it was a playing time issue (although our line i loaded so it could be an issue and he’s not admitting it).
but if he wants to go to Oregon or Southern Cal as someone stated, he will have to sit TWO years(rather than one), unless the inter-conference transfer rules have changed.
I was the someone who stated it and this came from a Bruin website……..and it’s INTRA-conference, not INTER……
If Bucket is correct about intra-Pac-12 transfer rules, I doubt he’ll be playing out west.
Unless he finds San Diego State or Fresno State to be viable options…….
I also think that UCLA would have to approve an intra-Pac-12 transfer…….which would be very unlikely
