So if you are Ronnie Walker, Gest or Ivory Winters...do you not see the pattern: Stay strong, focused and keep working hard, things can change quickly.
I bet though David Ellis is moving to TB maybe even full time, given there are in my view a lot of tall, athletic WR's in the wings and if I'm trying to play the best players on the field, Ellis may be better at TB.
I do NOT want James to transfer, but my view for an OSU commit, and I think of Weber/Dobbins type production and if you take out the Purdue game, James did not blow me (or anyone?) away with his first 10 games of the season did he? I was eager to see him build off the PU game, but if you are #2 going into spring and transfer, you are not happy about something, and I'd only speculate, he may see some writing on the wall (Ellis & the Freshman from VA).
Would be interesting if Mr. Football could be a Rudy-like story and have success next year or ahead at IU too.
I don't love it, but the show will go on and I don't think James' production last year was that off the charts, hence not irreplaceable. But sorry to see him go.
