You guys are pretty sick to think that way, though.

I guess I set myself up for that one.

You can blame Trip for that.

Yup, look at Mojo's post above and it's in that linked article.

Yes. He played 5 games this year. Couldn't find a story on the Why's? The previous two years were very productive. Recruited over? Injured? Discipline?

From the South Florida football forum.

"Aamaris Brown-Bunkley, who played very well for USF in 2023 seemed to be hampered by injuries this season and was mostly lost on the depth chart. Brown-Bunkley, originally out of Kansas State has committed to UNLV where he will look to recapture his 2023 form for the Rebels as a grad transfer in hopes to renew his draft stock."

Transfer from WSU to Ole Miss.

Sorry, buddy.

I started a short-lived "Where's Gushiken" (he played in our Bowl game BTW) thread on my Coug site. Three of the replies, from 3 different posters:

"I’m sure Jimmy has spoken to them so they can all stay in the portal for all I care. They will find out the hard way."
"The portal probably helps the Cougs in that regard by replacing with known talent."

"He got burned a lot this past year. Can he cover, I saw #4 getting beat consistently. If he walks, ok with me. We can find a better DB."

And you wonder why I hang out on this Board. To be fair, WSU did bring in some "known talent" and "better DB" (DB's) from South Dakota State.

Edit - and WSU plays at Ole Miss in 2025. Should be a fun reunion. Although WSU will be sleepy, since we have to play at Virginia the week before. Not counting our later Virginia trip to face James Madison. Our 2025 schedule is a lot more friendly now that we got out of the MW scheduling agreement.

I go almost every year.

I look at historic stuff in between pounding beers and eating Jamon and walking around aimlessly. Somehow landing at another bar to drink beer and eat more Jamon and peppers trying to get my bearings and find my hotel. Usually by my 8th beer, 2lbs of ham one 1lb of patron peppers 1lb of olives I usually figure it out. Sometimes takes a 9th beer.

Nice. I stayed at Tres Reyes Hotel in Pamplona. Screaming Gora San Fermin before the Encierro. Good times drinking Calimocho.

Dan Mullen, is giving these guy's with limited playtime at their previous school, a second chance and hopes of more playing time.
Hope it works out.

I dont know, obviously Sluka is full of shit. Marion probably was talking up some bullshit about his worth. Was it a 100k? Doubt it. But the bottom line is these things have to be signed and agreed on. Sluka had an agent, Sluka is full of shit and was called out on it, this was an obvious move to get cash somewhere else. That’s why he exited and that’s why his family said he got bigger offers elsewhere.

It was all bullshit.

Eh, if it was a move to get cash somewhere else, or take another offer, then you'd expect him to have been signed as soon as the portal opened up. I don't think it was that.

I would not be surprised at all if Marion made a promise to the kid, without going through the proper channels or vetting.

I wonder how would it work if you're graduating in the spring? Do you announce in the winter and then punch out your degree in the spring to join your new team by summer?

In conjunction with a shorter and later transfer window, they should really add an extra year of eligibility to all players. Get rid of the graduate transfer rule.

They do these two things, and it gets so much simpler.

He is going to get torn to shreds on X once this is confirmed. Was he not good enough for Sacramento State? One would think if anyone owed him a small payday it would have been the Me-Me coach himself.

Edit** and a starting position.

IDK, I’m still kind of pissed about the Devin Lloyd thing.

If Marion was the one that allegedly discussed the payment with him, then he's probably upset and him and wouldn't go to Sac State, but I don't know the details of that, so it's purely speculation

Hey! My Cougs play at James Madison next Fall. I'm sure our defense can make him look like Josh Allen.
