Before we get all sexed up on this OSU TE transfer, I have two words of caution: Louis Irizarry
Apparently what could have been a very sad story seems to have a happy ending, but from a football prospective it was a bust.
Wow really Comparing this kid who has had zero off the field issues to a guy who was sent to prison. Classy.
I could give a sh** less about off field issues. I was about the only guy on here for giving Richmond a second chance. My note was about Irizarry being a highly recruited TE at OSU who was -0- on the field, who transferred to YSU and when on to be a bust on the field here too! The QB at Pitt and Hawkins from OSU were both highly recruited and total busts at the 1A schools, one, both, or neither of them could do something at 1AA, but there is absolutely -0- guarantee. Go look at the hype when Trent Hosick was a highly recruited QB for then national power Missouri. He was a -0- there, OK at JUCO and basically -0- here.
All I am saying is don't get to sexed up over somebody else's bust. To be candid, we were all excited to get the LB Pollock or Pollard or whoever to transfer and so far -0-. Same for Durkin, so far -0- Maybe the transfers will contribute, maybe not. In my recollection we have had better luck with linemen as JUCO transfers than skilled players. (mostly kids who can play, but needed academic help) And truthful, I don't recall having much luck with 1A transfers at any position.
Going back to the Irizarry issue as it relates to the Richmond issue. We gave both a chance, and the first one, Irizarry is a classic example of a kid growing into a responsible adult and being a success. Chief, you take a shot at me for "classy" Well, IMO your knocking Louis as a criminal IS classless. based on what he has done since. I hope the same for Mil'ik
