Tyrik Rollison to transfer.

If you were wondering why your beloved or lead man in terms of the greatest confederation of football schools on this website has effectively ignored recruiting. This news item will explain myself. For you see, going into 2009? Tyrik Rollison was the great hope of the Plainsmen.

Chris Todd? He made Jonathan Crompton look like a random Clausen. Kodi Burns? Sure he was athletic, but he couldn’t beat out Chris Todd until he got hurt. So suffice it to say? They wanted this Texan to be ready soon.

But then. Like a Paul Finebaum column the week after a small event changed conventional wisdom. Things changed. Gus Malzahn became a genius. Chris Todd brought people back from the ledge in terms of actually being impressed by his play. And Cam Newton’s coming!

He’s 7′2″ 400 pounds and runs a 3.67 40. Arms are like tree trunks. He has a shock of hair. Red, like the fires of hell. Tyrik Rollison wasn’t feeling the love anymore. And he’s decided to go to Sam Houston State.

Which in one way is weird, because I’m sure some FBS school would love to love to have him. But in another way, it’s weirder. It’s the whole reason why my mind can’t wrap around that whole recruiting thing.

If the number two dual threat quarterback of 2009 barely makes it a year? Then who really cares if you have a Top Ten recruiting class, right?
