Why is Whitmore on the sideline?

[dawgstudent]

I don’t get it.

 

[Dawg1976]

Was he dressed out?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

This whole situation is just bizarre.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Ummm.....he wasn't getting any serious playing time and decided to redshirt instead of wasting his year of eligibility to get 3 plays a game with one target

Bc we are mississippi State. We allow quitters to just hang out. See Dillon Johnson.

Then he probably doesn’t need to be on the sidelines.

He’s also told people he’s returning next year.

just a weird situation.

 

[patdog]

Nobody’s ever said he’s transferring. This may be a case of he’s not going to get a lot of playing time this year so we’re redshirting him. Or maybe he is transferring & just wants to support the team while he’s still here.

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

This is why we need contracts with buyouts

 

[bulldoghair]

Whitmore has talent, but does not have the support of the locker room like the other receivers do.

And transfer fees when the player is under contract.

 

[aTotal360]

Because we are too nice and allowing him to string us along.

 

[GloryDawg]

Maybe they are making him clean balls to pay for his scholarship and NIL money.

His mom did the color commentary on the volleyball game the other night ....

Oh weird, you mean this Lebby coached locker room doesn’t like the Leach players

Shocking

I know which type I’d rather have

THIS! There are clubs in Europe that this is how the make ends meet, and punch well above their weight. It's also how some near rich clubs make some noise. Liverpool under FSG is a prime example.

I'd rather have one that can play in a non-extinct offense. I have no idea which side this guy is supposed to be on.

You need to finally come to terms with the fact that Leach is gone, and his offense died with him. I can remember when the wishbone was winning national championships, something the real air raid never did. It's not around anymore, because people figured out how stop it. If it wasn't stoppable, it would still be run all over.

 

[Podgy]

Whitmore spelled backwards is More Whitey and because he's so fast and DEI he's hated***

 

[BulldogBlitz]

He wanted to go to the game, but felt like the $6 ticket price was too high.

 

[Frog14]

I wonder if he would be any good at safety?

I'm going out on a limb here, but considering that the portal doesn't officially open til Dec 9th, and talking to the kid prior to that would be considered tampering, I don't think it's a huge stretch to think that he knows exactly where he's headed but he's been told to play dumb til then.

 

[ronpolk]

My guess is this was a mutual parting of ways and the coaching staff is being cordial to the kid. He’s one of those that I’m not sure is as talented as some on this board want to believe. The receivers that Lebby brought in are better and I don’t imagine that is going to change next year. Seems to me Lebby is just treating the kid fairly. I have no inside sources, I’m just basing this on the context clues here. There seems to be no animosity from either side, so leads me to believe this was not entirely the players decision to not be part of the future here.

 

[CEO2044]

Wait, I thought he said he was taking a redshirt and transferring?

EDIT: nm, I misread.
