Curious to know what the excuse is for this one.
Fortunately we never put Ayden on scholarship. We can use the scholarshipUnfortunately Tyrese Ross already transferred out and we have a serious lack of depth at safety for the spring. We had better hope Jaden Hicks can come in and start week 1 or we land someone in the portal.
You are spot on. I don’t think the portal would have been an issue 20, 30 years ago when a commitment meant something but these entitled Twitter-hyped kids and their helicoptering parents have created a perfect storm of douchebaggery. It’s getting old real fast. Then again coaches make too damn much money too so I guess this gives them more opportunity to earn it since they are dealing with managing free agency.honestly, the portal is going to sour me on college football. this isn't how its supposed to be, and all you "they're slaves to the system/ don't get paid/ coaches leave all the time" honks can cram it. I'd rather pay kids than watch them pack their shit every time they get wind sprints because they were late for practice.
"pursue other opportunities"... gfy, kid. Hope you rot on the bench at a D3 school.
(I'm in a mood and may or may not edit these sentiments at a later time, especially the latter part. but I hold fast on the former part)

He went to the portal before he could get kicked off the team. He never should have been on the team in the first place. End of story.
I suppose to some extent. Kids 20-30 years ago weren’t instagramming and twittering hat dances either. There’s always been “look at me” but times have changed to where everyone can literally look at you in an instant."Kids these days" has been something that old people have been saying for 10,000 years.
If Rolo wanted to kick him off the team he would have been dismissed from the roster instead of suspended from team activities. We also would have been aggressively searching the portal for a replacement to start at SS next year. Instead we are sniffing around for DT's near 30 with legal troubles.
Basically Hector was just being Hector. If you read about his troubles in HS, getting popped for a fake ID while trying to buy beer is nothing. My guess is Rolovich didn't offer a scholarship because of it and the kid left town. But now we are razor thin at safety because the coaches appear to have been caught flat footed by this. Maybe we can talk Ross in to coming back after he was pushed out for a juvenile delinquent.

Afternoon Delight was considered vulgar at the time. If you don’t think things have changed a bit, you are living under a rock.OMG a vulgar song. Because there haven't been hundreds over those for the past 3 decades.

His name was mud coming out of high school. He had offers pulled left and right. WSU takes him and his baggage. He plays some ball and rolls.
I'd be hard pressed to walk into his high school again and recruit that team.
Rolovich has JC in his blood. Lots of Jason Brown in that guy. I'm expecting the mercenary mindset to continue to grow on the team combined with a ton of roster turnover each year.
This isn't to say this approach can't be successful. If we are headed to a bowl game every year with a roster held together by spit and duct tape, I'm a happy camper.
He earned himself a scholie on the field. My guess is while he earned it on the field he didn't help himself off the field.Curious to know what the excuse is for this one.

With the portal it is like JC ball. One minute you know who your teammate is, the next minute they are gone. Not a great way to add stability to a program that in order to be successful needs stability.
Nothing will change until Saban or Meyer whine about it.It'll be interesting to see if the NCAA ups the new scholarship limit from 25 per season. With a mass exodus to the portal nationwide each year (1100+ at last count) that's close to 10 for each D1 team.
It's going to be difficult to keep 85 scholarships on the roster when most teams are losing double digits to the portal each year. This doesn't begin to factor in kids who burn eligibility in 4 seasons or leave early to go pro.
Same couple of posters who never liked the hire... meh.I see a lot of posts about Rolovich sucking and I'm not sure why everyone is pissing down their legs already. Everyone knows that Paul Wulff wasn't cut out to be a Pac-12 coach and he got fired because he didn't do a good job. Despite the fact that Wulff sucked, Leach came into town and made our team worse in 2012 than it was in 2011 in just about every measurable way. We scored 113 fewer points, we gave up 23 more points. You can look at just about every stat and our team got worse in Leach's first year. Players were leaving, there was controversy and the team was a hot, fuggin' mess.
You'll argue that Wulff left him a worse team than Leach left Rolo.....but it doesn't change the fact that nobody looked at the way that the team regressed in 2012 and thought, "man, we are going to average 9+ wins per year pretty quick!".
I don't know if Rolovich is going to be any good at WSU, but it's way too soon for y'all to be pissing down your legs about the team. It would have been dumb to judge Leach based on the performance of his first three teams and it's just as dumb to be looking at the COVID FUBAR season and judge anything.
He earned himself a scholie on the field. My guess is while he earned it on the field he didn't help himself off the field.
soooooo... would that make Rolo an a$$hole or a mensch? Asking for a friend...Ed, this pretty much sums it up from what available info would suggest. Good summary.

I do think its premature to write the book on Rolo, but JDL getting the nod is a pretty big blemish on CNR's judgement imho. If he couldn't tell that JDL didn't have it between the ears, that's worrisome.
Word from my daughter is that he expected to get a scholly and it never came. Got pissed and is leaving.
Track record matters. Leach was nationally respected, had won 11 games at an under resourced P5 school, and snuck into a bowl game in year two. He also inherited a mess which made for a more patient fan base.
I thought the Rolovich hire made a lot of sense at the time. Unique offense, respected on the west coast, quirky and dynamic personality could turn him into a media darling with a winning season.
The initial results have been subpar. Yes, there are extenuating circumstances but it seems like he's been reactive. Our margin for error is really small and the adversity seems to be taking its toll on morale. There is definitely less talent on the roster than when Rolo inherited the team. If he stumbles out of the gate next year, Pullman will start to become a harder sell (not that it's close to easy now).
You need to create your own edge to recruit to Pullman. Coaches who aren't able to do so don't work out.
