[gobluebigjon]

Quite a shame if true.

Mother fucker!

Shit. How many TEs does that leave us with?

All the conversation about this was that he had some big time family issues.

After I read the story, I wondered if it was homesickness. What you said makes it seem like something else possibly.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Too bad. Bright future. Best name for chanting.

Hope things work out for him.

We have a few still, but he was one of the bright spots. Don't see too many true freshman TE's getting the time he got this year.

Mgoblog has a great page for this kind of stuff:

What really sucks is that Asisi was our most highly rated recruit at the position and it showed. Next up is probably Bunting and Wheatley. They also shuffled Gentry to the position, have no idea how that's going.

Well Bunting was always going to get his time as the main receiving TE, but this does put a lot on Wheatley's shoulders as pretty much the only in-line TE on the roster (I guess McKeon would fit that bill, but I'm not sure if he'll be ready). I feel pretty good about Ty, but it would have been awesome having two weapons like that who could both clobber you and be a legitimate receiving threat. And of course it's never good losing future NFL players, regardless of their position.

I could be mistaken, but on those heavy formations weren't both Wheatley and Asiasi put in for more push? Losing him could hurt most on goal line plays with a young O-Line.

Losing him really sucks. He was our best prospect at TE.

Yep, they played together quite a bit. That will be a blow.

Should be interesting to see what kind of position swaps there are this year. I wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few. Actually seems like there might have been someone moving to TE, but I can't recall who - or if I'm just making it up.

Been speculated about since he came to A2. During recruitment it was assumed he'd stay out west. Bummer but not a big surprise.

I bet he lands at ucla.

UCLA has been trending well the past couple of years...

This.fucking blows. But, we are stacked in this area.

Stacked with bodies, but none have the skill level of Asiasi.

We need Wheatley Jr to take a big leap forward this year.

bang!

You were right. Hopefully he does well and can tolerate their medicore program. Going to be a hell of a culture change.
