Decent landing spot for him. He's still going to actually have to put in work to see the field though. And maybe stop leaving his feet every time he catches the ball.

Better than Texas Tech. Pretty good, actually.

I still wish Diarse had stuck around. I like the way he plays.

No doubt his boy Jalen McCleskey has been in his hear. He saw what he was doing and wanted that.

I just don't get it; the guy has to sit out an entire year when he was in the mix for the No. 3 WR spot on a national championship team.

Good luck to TJ, though.

The same thing Diarse and Quinn saw in johnson and Chark, Johnson saw in Ferguson/Davis/Anderson/Sullivan.

Wish him nothing but success at Oklahoma State, but it's only a positive sign for us a player of his caliber left for greener pastures.

Agreed, next season you would think he would be a #1 or #2, giving him plenty of reps and opps. Unless he thought the underclassmen were going to pass him.... Believe Ok St was one of his finalist when he was a HS recruit.

If that were the case I think he'd still be here. We have some talent the next few years is all I can tell you.

He'll start there immediately in 2017 unless he does something stupid. Okie St loses just about every WR after this year (ton of seniors) and their best one which is a junior this year, will probably be a top 3 round pick.

They'll also lose QB Rudolph unless he is stupid to come back, but they should be good because of the type of offense they run and teams they play.

That is hilarious.

Diarse and Quinn leaving had ZERO to do with these guys or any incoming recruits.

They got the best one, plus he is the youngest with a ton of room for improvement. Wouldn't doubt him being a top 3 round pick in the draft 2.5 years from now.

More than just being "in the mix" for the #3 receiver (and by some accounts, he may have been losing ground there), it could be how they planned on using him and how well he thought that worked to showcase his skill set for the next level.

And in my opinion, these kinds of transfers are more about trying to get in a position to be drafted as much or more than it is about about playing time in the short term. I absolutely do not fault a kid for transferring when he's trying to make the best decision for his future. There's several players who left LSU and it didn't work out. Then, every once in a while, you have someone like Paul Turner, who is on the verge of making it with the Eagles now. Hard to say if Turner would've had that chance if he stuck it out at LSU.

Like you, I hate to see it as a fan-- especially since we just might have a legit chance to make a BCS run. I'm sure that weighs on him as well, but I've got no beef with his decision and wish him well.
