Did I see that both the bothers are no longer on the roster? If so, does anyone know what happened?

Moose lodge posting. Transferred to Tennessee Tech

Believe they transferred to Tenn Tech.

Looks like bigdaddy beat me to it!

I understand they may want to be closer to home but I was really looking forward to seeing what they would contribute over the next 4 years here. Am I the only one on here that wonders why we can't seem to keep 3 star recruits? It seems to me we frequently loose highly touted players after their first year at App. It can't send a good message to new recruits.

Perhaps the 3 star and higher recruits that we get expect instant impact and are surprised when they arrive that lower rated players beat them out. I don't know specifically but just a guess. It isn't just a problem at App, highly rated recruits that don't start tend to transfer out of schools. It is just the way it goes now.

Alabama had a former 5* number 1 overall QB leave last year 4 games into the season. Schools have 85 (I think) scholarships and only 22 total positions on O and D to start. People leave programs all the time. Hurts us as we are still moving from FCS to FBS and losing good bodies doesn't help but as I stated above it happens as big schools as well.

I would suspect that most big time coaches at big time schools tell All of their big time 5 star studs that they will play big time minutes. Ain't gonna happen for all of them. Kids who ruled the world in high school get a rude awakening and many can't accept the cold hard facts. We have beaten the star thing to death. Can't be a world of difference in a two and a three star recruit. A lot can change in the body and mind of an 18 year old young person. Lots of luck at Tennessee Tech boys. Next up....

Here is an article about the Alabama QB's. There is a big difference between a kid getting a wake up call and a coach not telling him the truth and stringing him along. This is something I hear our coaches do not do with our players and recruits. I have been told they are very straight up with where they are and how they will be used.

It wasn't homesickness. On-field issues. Not sure if I'm supposed to share more here (believe Moose explained it on the recruiting board), but it was no big controversy.

The point about 3* recruits leaving is interesting. I don't think it sends a bad message to new recruits - we've got plenty of guys who are excelling, after all. But I do think it's worth noting that arguably we've had more success with our lower-rated recruits than our supposed best ones. Even among the 3* still on the team, only Meadors is sure to start this year.

My (still developing) theory is that perhaps you're better off with under-the-radar guys than with low 3*, which often means the P5s have evaluated them somewhat thoroughly and decided to take a pass. A guy like Jalin Moore, OTOH, didn't even have a profile on the recruiting sites until he committed to us I believe the day before signing day.

I agree - if anything, it sends a positive message that you better come to APP ready to work and to be part of a TEAM, no matter what you did in high school nor how many stars someone put beside your name ---

Interesting side note - Tennessee Tech's coach is also named Satterfield

Let's take this to the Moose Lodge........

Did you send a PM to appst89? If you just did the group add request then you need to send the request to him. He gets the process going.

My records do not show that I have ever received a PM from you requesting access. Please send another.
