Craver will be leaving too. Look for him to get a big payday from Auburn
Whitmore Redshirting 2024 season
- Thread starter PapaDawg
- Start date
He already shot them down once and have you seen their passing game? He's not going to Auburn.
My advice is every player on every team everywhere should redshirt if they aren't getting paid at least 20% of what the highest paid player is getting. How demoralizing is that. I'm a rented mule and this other guy is riding in a Bentley and already has more money than I'll ever see in my life. Why risk your health like that.
You don’t think where they transferring will pay that semesters worth of school? Peanuts
Inevitable, when Lebby signed 12 wide receivers in his first class. Probably could could have used some blockers and tacklers.
So does he still dress out? Is he still on the team and does he still have use of the facility? This crap is as 17ed up as a football bat. The more I think about it the angrier I get. I blame these guys
I’m 17ing done with college football. I’m over it. It ain’t about Creed quitting. It’s everything. It’s officially a shat product and anybody who is being honest knows it.
Sure is. All those sheep who have been begging other fans of their same school, who have long seen this truth, to still donate to NIL:
Still doesn’t matter if they are ineligible.
Its all just me playing devil’s advocate, though. It doesn’t matter, because whatever common sense reforms need to happen to restore sanity are not ever going to happen. It’s going to be the opposite, actually, as it has been for the past 15 years.
I remember thinking that whenever Ole Miss and Alabama played, that I wished both teams could lose somehow. I now wish that that same thing about every pair of 2 teams I see playing an FBS football game when I’m just skimming through the channels. And yes….that includes MSU too. I truly wish everyone could go 0-12.
At least spell the guy’s name right. We expect the most out of our teams but can we not give minimal effort to spell someone’s name correctly when it’s right there in the article you linked.
SOURCE: Mississippi State sophomore WR Creed Whittemore plans to redshirt 2024 season
A major contributor at wide receiver for Mississippi State is no longer available for the rest of the season.www.on3.com
I hope Whittemore would "redshirt" like anyone else that has redshirted in the past. Remain with the team and go to class to be eligible for the spring and fall of 2025. However, we all know this is probably a player decision rather than a coach's decision. I guess we will find out in a few months when the transfer portal opens.
Yep, Selmon and many other ADs are betting on this House V NCAA settlement to be a step in bringing NIL into the athletic departments and controlling NIL better. However, it seems that settlement being finalized and becoming reality is in jeopardy.
No it would be crazy to think it's like a 1965 type thing. But it unfortunately is a perception that will be there. The perception that it may have played a part of the decision. May have not played a part at all. Just add it to the list of ever growing negative perceptions about the state of college football lately.
And unfortunately, in a general sense for all of these players leaving teams this week, even if a redshirt season is fully legit for personal reasons for a player, there's so much negative perception around players leaving teams right now.
What people don't like about the business of the NFL is the reality that many NFL players are there for the money primarily. Like Cam Newton recently was quoted as saying: "Man what really amazed me was looking into my bank account and seeing that same big weekly deposit hit win or lose." I'll let you speculate/reflect on his comments without adding my thoughts.
Who knows why players play the game. And who knows why players quit playing the game or leave a team. College football has such a growing negative, greedy, selfish vibe about it lately. Growing worse by the week this season. Who wants to see 22 players out there vying for the most attention and the most money. It's like paying to watch 22 senators work a room of lobbyists. Disappointing and pointless.
And why is Saban up on the hill promoting "fair play" amongst all teams. My God, the hypocrisy.
I wonder if you asked Dak this week if he'd rather have more money or win more games, what would he say. I bet many players would look at it and say who gives a crap about winning when you have more money than anyone else in the league.

Who gives a 17 at this point? He’s headed to FAU or FIU, or Miami or somewhere in Florida at this point anyway.
Yes because I have been on teams before and I know it's entered the mind of some of the players on the team. Race isn't nearly as much of a factor these days but to pretend it's not at all ever a tiny factor or thought. Come on.
I think you forgot having a QB of the same race****
I can't blame Creed at all. He has to feel like he should be on the field more. He is one of our most productive players. He makes it happen. And yeah we coulda signed one or two more DL/OL instead of say Kelly A ? Idk. Anyway I hate it. I really like Creed
He committed to play for Leach, honored that commitment after his death by enrolling a month later that January. Arnett honored his commitment by completely changing our offense and firing all the offensive staff. No telling what the kid was promised in the days after Leach died.
I’m surprised any of those last Leach recruits are still here, never even got to play for him. ****** situation

I was never a Lebby fan thru out the coach search. I felt like he probly was riding other people's coattails but I slowly bought in. I'm thinking my original opinion was accurate. He is gonna have to go thru a long learning curve. After he signed those 5 wr out of high school I thought look out now. Then he went and signed a few transfers too. You don't have to be an offensive savant to know they can't all play. Esp if your OL sucks. And you have no defense. And you can't stay on the field. No play no stay. We are in deep dookie I think
Creed was a Leach guy, and stuck with us after his death. Now that he’s seen what Lebbhead is all about, he wants out. Sounds plausible to me. I don’t see him as some disloyal NIL-monger.
Ole Miss’s master plan is working to perfection.

From "How many of you are planning to skip watching on Saturday" to "When did you skip watching?" A brutal remaining schedule against top 20 and top 10 teams, potential humiliating game against a team nowhere near the top 20, decent starting QB is out, last year's third string looks like this year's third string (will he redshirt too if he could?), defense and offensive line look awful and lost and could use Starkville High's Chris Jones to stop by and give them a few pointers, and now this. I'd hold on to most of that $8 million until Lebby shows he can hire good assistant coaches and understands why you need to sign good lineman. It's easier to get a good receiver from memphis and Arky State than a DE or guard.
I’m dumping YTTV. I was barely hanging on for the sports channels and my level of caring is basically zero. Last night I was channel surfing and there is nothing to watch worth a damn. And 70% of the time I change channels there is damn commercial on. I basically watch Netflix and a couple of other services. I’ll spend that $80 on ad free content. Rant is over…back to your regular 6pack content. 🫤
pro tip: It's better to keep your mouth shut and be suspected a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
The sooner this version college football crashes and burns, the sooner we can get to something that we at least understand. Then we can either support it or forget it but at least we’ll know what it is.
I hope the next couple days we see hundreds more players do this. Maybe this will finally be the straw that broke the camel's back and cause something to change. I dunno who even has the power to change anything anymore though...is it the NCAA or the conferences themselves? Some circuit court judge somewhere? This **** ain't sustainable though and needs some regulations in place, pronto. I'll be watching NFL till then
Key in your comment is "many years ago". There is much less racism today than many years ago and will be less tomorrow than today. A big way to help speed along this progression is to not speculate and interject race into every situation. If I were to speculate, race has nothing at all to do with his decision. To borrow a phrase from a former coach we all know and love, "the only color that matters here is
I had this conversation with a buddy before the season, but I don't give a 17 about college football anymore. I watch way more of the NFL last year and this year. It sucks that legislatures and the NCAA completely 17ed up a great sport, but at this point I've just moved on from it. It isn't really even a part of my Saturdays anymore. I'll occasionally turn on a game at night when everyone else is in bed, but I haven't watched a full college football game at all this year. Now Sundays are for church and football.
We think a lot alike, I don't have any cable, YouTube TV, etc. I'm a graduate of YouTube University though (the original instructional version not YTTV) and am now working on my Masters then PhD. Too much free content out there to pay for ads and the crap that's on tv today for the small amount of time I actually sit in front of the tv.
This has to be one of the worst takes I've ever seen on this board. If Creed was getting the touches he should have been getting, it wouldn't matter if the QB was white, black, orange, or green.
This might be the dumbest post ever on this board. And that is really saying something
I don't blame Creed personally, but I blame the system that it is in place now. Look in the paper today, there are players all over the country that are bailing out on their teams and their head coach didn't die, their administration didn't hire incompetent personnel to run the athletic depts, they have starters out for the season. You can't say we have a unique set of circumstances that caused it, its everywhere. Players are digging their own graves personally and team wise. If nothing is done they are going to start seeing a lot of fans dressed as empty seats soon and that translates into no interest from fans which translates to spending their disposable income on something they actually enjoy instead of paying for the product on the field today.
So the decision was made prior to the Shapen injury then. That clears up the potential perception I was describing.
