College football is so screwed up and tremendously interesting at the same time these days. How this dude came back is beyond me, but it is what it is. Hopefully he contributes at a high level.
Completely agree. At the end of the day, players should do what’s best for their own situations. Still, you can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of leaving PSU for Bama, only to turn around a year later and say, “Nah, I think I’ll go back.”
His PSU BIO says he played all 13 games as a true freshman on special teams. So 2 years and a red shirt available.
In the words of Jack Buck, I can’t believe what I just saw.
It will be interesting to see how the coaching staff attempts to use him because King is really small and not necessarily the ideal height and size for a safety.. but maybe putting him on the field with Wheatley who obviously covers so much ground and is super long cancels each other out. But King certainly is limited size wise.
This is the opposite of screwed up.
This is what a student athlete should be able to do.....What's best for him.
I did something I wasn't sure about, I tried to return home and find a situation that was better for me, It wasn't better for me and I didn't realize what I lost. I've found myself.....All before age 20.
Excellent.
Never judge a man's journey, it's his, not yours.
It depends. I would disagree that a number if these kids know what is best for them. Some of these players transfer every year now looking for perfection that does not exist, and it ends up harming the player’s athletic and academic development. Conversely, for the most part our incoming transfers have worked out really well for both parties over the last 3 years. Hopefully it works out for Mack.
Who knows what's best for them?
You?
Do you know anything about King Mack except that he has measurables that are similar to other D1 athletes?
I know that transferring every year is likely detrimental to his development. You do too. Like I said, I hope it works out. But if he transfers a year from now I would not be surprised.
Watched him in HS also and he was a good kick returner. Would be nice to have someone there as well. The transfer WR Ross is also a punt returner.
Also, with the ability of these guys to leave at any time, I’m leary about getting too excited until the whistle blows in September.

I don't but apparently you know things about me too.
Typically kids transfer because they AREN'T developing in their environment.
What would surprise you? A kid sticking around to his own detriment and happiness? Would that be awesome?
That and what about the squad? How is a coaching staff supposed to plan with so much uncertainty? There needs to be some limits. It's evolving. Balance will eventually happen.
