All 3 who left the team were in good academic standing according to the
announcement so it wasn't classes
Unless any of the 3 had some personal family issues (ie to help an lll parent at home),
giving up a great college education that would be completely paid for by scholarship sounds absolutely dumb.
We need to do a better job on retention of salvageable players

Hey scribe......I think you are a local guy so you will appreciate this. I ran into KW at a local/Ellettsville Mexican restaurant. Was friendly enough as we spoke but I immediately picked up on the fact something was wrong....he seemed a bit depressed. I just assumed a boat load of crap on his plate......recruiting not strong at least yet, his kids start school next week and a tough IU football off season. Your post probably answers my observation.Torn ACL
until someone knows the particular situation for any/all of the three, it is difficult
to know what "opportunities" are out there. Sometimes, players have to tough out
difficult times.
If you didn't completely like your first job, you should just quit or should you keep on
fighting to improve?
Good God. Every team loses players in the offseason.This is par for the course with IU football. Key players injured. We hear about how this team has great team chemistry. Some are arrested or fall off the map. After a while, this isn't really news. You just become numb to it all.
Evans is done because of injuries. He physically can't play. Smith and Keel are transferring and were buried on the depth chart. Mullen isn't going to be a pro and graduated. This isn't anything earth shattering.All 3 who left the team were in good academic standing according to the

J-Shun is tough news, and it's too bad about Ralston - not just for the team but for him. However, it should never be an issue when guys that haven't gotten playing time (nor will they) leave. There are 100 kids on the team….you have to expect a few will always leave to go to a smaller college so they can play. No big deal at all. Not sure why you are so "numb" to it….
Okay, so it was the J-Shun loss that you were referring to. Gotcha. Like I said, that's a tough one but i don't think he was that great last year….perhaps he was poised for a break out season, if he could learn to hang onto the ball. He had so many drops.The difference here guys is that this is IU. Losing one of the best receivers from a year ago would not be an issue.......for OSU or Michigan St. Those programs just turn around and plug and play.
IU may have to turn to a true freshman. And, this isn't "just like other programs.". We lose more than our share of key members (Sudfeld, Antonio Allen, Harris) than we can afford.
.....perhaps he was poised for a break out season, if he could learn to hang onto the ball. He had so many drops.
Oh, no - he was by far the worst with drops. Not just one game.I don't remember J-Shun with as many drops last year as Simmie Cobbs or others. He may have one really bad game in the MSU contest.
Agreed on this one. Seemed like he had the speed to beat anyone down the field but could never haul in the pass. Granted he was a freshman, but they gave him a lot of responsibility from the get go (punts, kickoffs, etc.)Oh, no - he was by far the worst with drops. Not just one game.
I agree, but I think Kenny Mullen would probably have started for us this year. That's the only one that surprises me.Evans is done because of injuries. He physically can't play. Smith and Keel are transferring and were buried on the depth chart. Mullen isn't going to be a pro and graduated. This isn't anything earth shattering.
