No Sessa....

So.

Now Sessa won't be coming to GS.

Not sure why, but saw a statement that he asked to be released from his national letter of intent.

Hopefully we can find someone really good to replace Bass. Sessa seemed to fit that bill.

Why......and was it good enough of reason? Then we let him get off. ???

Who made the statement?

if Sessa really is opening his recruitment back up, it seems like he’d be more active on Twitter but he hasn’t posted anything since committing to us.

if he did asked to be released from his NOI, it’s in our staff’s best interest to do it. Why would you want to try to force coach someone who doesn’t want to be here?

I saw it on Travis Jaudon's twitter. Didn't say why.

I hope Beck will be able to punt for us this year.

Just in general if a guy isn't active on twatter, that's a point for him in my book.

Not letting him out of his LOI wouldn’t be forcing him to come here. It would just block him from playing for another team for a year.

If Bass has another great year, continues to get great press, we will have good kickers lining up to come to GS, I'm not to concerned about this.

I'm not overly concerned, but we definitely need to replace Bass with someone good.

Koo and Bass have us spoiled. We really need to be solid at that position when Bass is kicking on Sundays. (I still have flashbacks to our last time in the FCS playoffs. That position almost certainly cost us another NC.)

I'm getting more concerned about our recruiting. We spent a LOT of time and effort to get Sassa to sign, and now he bails? Why? Sure has been a lot of that going on.

This guy did have some impressive offers from some serious schools. Maybe he had a change of heart. But this is frustrating.

Maybe it's par for the course in the FBS, especially with all this transfer stuff happening..... But I'm becoming more concerned about recruiting in general.

I asked Lunsford about his thought on the transfer portal. His issue is the freshman/sophomore who is 5th string transferring, vs waiting it out 1-2 years and earning that starting spot.

Sure would have been nice to let him RS and then take over the kicking duties. Adjusting to the college game is huge difference. And having a year to learn under a Lou Grouza candidate?
