Anybody else think he might not know what no love lost means? He literally might mean it to say that none of his love for Indiana is lost...he might just be unfamiliar with the saying.
Payne Asks for release and gets it
- Thread starter Sonap
- Start date
This occurred to me too. He's 18 years old. He might have meant it literally, and is unaware of the colloquial meaning.
He's gone, who cares what his statement meant to him or the IU community. Hope the grass is truly greener somewhere else for him, lots of times it isn't.
Why he wouldn't want to play for our RB coach that has coached very good RBs in the NFL is beyond me. I get that he was recruited by coach McCollough but doesn't want to play for another NFL coach that has coached such good RBs.
Could be he sized up the competition and decided to leave.
Some of these guys (*cough* James *cough*) want the job handed to them because of their ratings.
It was actually Emory Worldwide.... I was selling at Ch4 during that time and I remember it very well... The year after it happened Knight brought it up when he spoke at the IU client golf outing and man... you talk about him getting riled up and expressing how much he really,.. I mean REALLY... hated the school, Adolph Rupp, Joe B and all of the UK alums! It was hilarious!! I thought he was going to burst open right there.
Ehh…We’ll see if he turns into anything and I thing we have RBs who may surprise this season.
Don’t see that, ND needs coach sign off, this kid was injured senior year. I will only believe this when I see it.
I think the lack of communication Payne talked about had to do with IU not getting a replacement RB coach for a couple of weeks. Recruits can panic wondering who will replace the coach and what type of RB that new coach wants. Many people aren't very patient, especially when they are just 18 years old.
Good RBs are a dime a dozen and there are tons out there. You lose an impact OL, a DL or QB….then it’s time to get concerned.
Face it: D-Mac didn’t like the choice of OC by Allen. Allen wasn’t going to promote D-Mac to a first time role as OC. He was burned last time on this. D-Mac went to ND to work under a head coach he thinks will promote him. Not hard to connect the dots.
The entire environment moving forward is college free agency. The portal will be loaded every year. I’d look for RBs in the portal every year. You need 3 of them. Most teams don’t seem to have the “feature back.” The “every carry” guy. A lot of rotation and a lot of kids wanting to be a feature back, so the portal will be chock full of them every season.

Apologies. I had read that he wasn't a option and wasn't aware he was visiting. Just saw the change. Looks like you're right.
Good get by ND. Hope the young man has a good career.
Totally agree.... Couldn't me more true than now. I've felt that way for years...
There was time when the best athletes were put at RB... for the last 10-15 years they're found on D.

On ND commitment, good luck to him, ND hasn't exactly been a factory turning out NFL running backs. Bet he's in the portal in a couple of years. Not sure he understands what "committment" means.
Josh Adam’s, Dexter Williams, Tony Jones jr and this year Kyren Williams are the last 4 feature backs all are or will be in nfl
