4 of 5 OL Starters Out For Bowl ?

I hope that rumor is false. It's really dumb and lame to play the last six weeks and suddenly develop a conscience after the regular season is done. I agree with the comment that any player who skips the game should be told to stay home and leave the swag to the guys who want to be part of the program full time.
Also, CJD might want to ask if any of his incoming calls from those players are being taped, you know, just in case theyre disgruntled about being asked to stay home.
 
Abe Lucas is going to be a day 2 draft pick. He has zero reason to play in a bowl game. No reason for him to risk any injury.
The Apple Cup didn't change his draft status, so why not take that day off as well?

J Clowney missed his final season to protect his draft status. He hasn't come close to maximizing his talent. Christian McCaffrey did the same thing. He skipped his bowl game, never plays hurt. He is a band aid. I think this may give a read to the NFL who really wants to give it all for the team to be successful.
 
Maybe these tweets have some truth to them, but I question the credibility simply based on the guy's inability to use proper grammar and spelling:

Wsu will be without 4 of its 8 captions vs Miami in the sun bowl this is not looking to hot.

Another big dominion falls, best of luck to this young man he’s been great all season. Also make me wonder what’s going on at wsu.

Hate to lose those captions. Without them, I never really know who is in the photos. Also hate to lose another big dominion. WSU doesn't have enough sovereignty over the college football world.

Glad Cougar
+ 1 regarding the captions. Not only do they help with picture identification, they also have other communication benefits. I would hate to lose 4 out of 8, though I'm not sure which 8 captions from this year are being cited in the drunken post.

The Apple Cup means something that no non-Rose Bowl game will ever mean.
 
Bill Doba won 3 of his last 4 AC and was fire/tired the day after his 2007 AC win.
Actually, Bill didn't put up much of a fight at the end. He straight up said that he was OK if they wanted to make a change.

It's a bit different with a guy like Clowney or McCaffrey, sure first rounders have the tools. The later you are expected to go in the draft the more intangibles factor in. Guys like Harris, Borghi, Watson, Ryan and probably Lucas can't afford commitment questions.

Plus Miami has some athletes. Always good to get film against them to show how you match up athletically.
 
If someone reported that 6-7 offensive players were leaving, which they didn't it, someone might have some credibility. But to state the entire offense is leaving, makes the claim unbelievable. For those that have entered the portal, I wish them luck, however if you look at the history of the portal, only a small percentage of people end up doing well after the transfer.

While I think you are probably right, we are entering unprecedented times with coaches leaving and taking all their players and recruits with them. When it comes to this stuff, nothing really surprises me any more.

I agree. If you choose to sit out the bowl, you just quit the team. If you want to go, you can buy a ticket.

No trip, no swag, no ring. No invite to the post-season awards banquet, no access to athletic facilities. You’re just another student now.
 
I'll be shocked if Max plays.

Rumor has it that Abe and Liam are sitting out in protest of Rolo getting canned. I hope anyone who feels that way transfers immediately. We need to rid the program of anyone still harboring resentment about that.

Shut the hell up.

If JD came in and didn't win you wouldn't be saying that. There is stuff in that locker room you have no idea about. Rolo sucked in the beginning but was figuring it out. I dont think he's a bad coach and the players liked him for a reason.

wtf are you talking about
 
There is a Twitter handle called "WazzuInsider" or something like that that is going around saying the entire offensive team is transferring, JDL is transferring and I guess said that 4/5 linemen are sitting out.

He is not a insider, and even if he were, he would be mishearing, misremembering, misunderstanding, misrepresenting what said to him.

And he is not believable, and he is wrong, and he is not a CREDIBLE source, etc.

The whole offense is not going to transfer out. Especially not JDL. About a 7 to 13% chance he would if IW QB transfers in. About a 49% chance he would if the IW QB beat him out.

While WSU will probably lose a WR, another OL like Beresford, the majority of WSU's offense is not transfering out.

I mean why would they give up starting, playing time? They wouldn't. If they did transfer, about 59% of them would either not start or play or maybe even not get a scholly depending on where they would transfer to.

And since they are so tight with teammates, they would leave them hanging? No way.

And most of them like, love Dickert, they would all leave screw him? No Way.

The whole offense, JDL, etc, is leaving, just doesn't pass the smell, logic, etc test. Therefore it is 99% probably not true and shouldn't be believed.
 
Sounds like the guy accomplished what he wanted to which is to stir things up with the fan base. There has been no confirmation on the majority of the offensive line sitting out the bowl game nor has there been any articles. Just one guy calling himself an insider said that. This is nothing more then a rumor until WSU says otherwise.
