    And 1 of the 6 that Eck took was his son.

      Don't freak out though because it "happens everywhere"

      • Not sure when it was updated or if it has been mentioned on here, but Kenyon BigBow has been added to the "Staying" list for JI. That feels like a huge keep. I feel like we have the pieces in place for a really good O-Line next year. Also Myles Taylor announced that he is returning to the team, after stepping away in the middle of the season. He was ahead of both Lee and Dautermann on the depth chart the last couple of years, so this seems like significant news.

          To be fair, Idaho is good, but not SDSU good. I doubt they have/had as many FBS caliber players on their roster as what SDSU has/had. However, if my counting is correct, we are now up to 22 players to WSU, 2 to Iowa, 2 to Northwestern. 26 players/2025 commits have gone from FCS to FBS, that's a lot...

              At first, this whole thing felt like just another day in the life of college football in the transfer portal era. But after reading this I feel a bit angry at the previous staff, Jimmy in particular.
              It really sounds like he was trying to get every last player to enter and go to Wazzu. Does he not know about the roster limit??? WTF
              Others have mentioned it but it seems like there is something else going on besides taking a job for better pay...

              • It was awesome seeing that some SDSU legends like McCormick and Freeman were taking time trying to keep the program together. Legends that continue to etch their place in Brookings even after their career.

                  Direct quotes from two current players is pretty strong evidence of the underhanded bull**** that occurred.

                    i very much want to get past this. stop looking back and focus on the people who want to be Jackrabbits and cheer for them, but this is so strange

                    as Quinten pointed out the program came from the trailers, and Jimmy WAS ONE OF THOSE GUYS. he was here when we had the trailers. he knows everything Stig went through to leave this program in so much better condition than he received it

                    and now it sure seems like he does not care what he does to that legacy. i mean seriously did he really need to take 4 running backs and the majority of the incoming class

                    and the other HUGE deal that makes zero sense to me, WHY are none of those 20+ players going to wsu asking the same question Quinten asked and that Kraft pointed out? Jimmy is the same coach who told a lot of other players it is NOT about the money. then he leaves for the money AND wants them to come with him. i am sorry but as a player, I would have trusted his character and integrity but now I see he talks out of both sides of his mouth

                    that would make me feel like hmmm maybe this aint the guy I thought it was

                    but the thing I HOPE will be remembered most about this and i believe it will be soon will be the people who stayed and the former players and how they fought for this program. i dont know how they will ever get it but they deserve special remembrance. Chase Mason has never started one game here but he refused to turn his back on what has been created here and Quinten is doing all this while planning for or recovering from surgery for multiple injuries. THANK YOU both!!

                    I know we are not the ones who are leaving, but it is time to shake the dust off our feet and put the past in the past. we will move forward with the people who want to be part of us

                    • I wont expect charity in todays college football world. These guys are sharks 100%. That being said Jimmy could have had a little gd compassion for his former team.

                      • From the sound of Tanner's article, Rogers and his staff did a pretty thorough job of burning their bridges back to SDSU.

                        I almost think that SDSU's new staff ought to be calling some WSU recruits and asking them "are these really the kind of guys you want to play for? When they jump to the next job, are you sure they'll take you with them?"
                        "I think we'll be OK"

                          The sad part is the players are the pawns in his sick game. The emotions and confusion are real for them.

                          I know a lot of people laughed about Jimmy's gruff attitude. I watched the coaches weekly interview before the semifinal game with NDSU. They cycle through the media members one by one. When it was Zach Borg's turn he said, "Hey Jimmy, how you doing?" and paused to allow Jimmy to respond. A normal human would say good Zach or something like that. Jimmy sat there silently with a scowl on his face. He did the same thing to Jay Elsen. He sure came off as an asshole.

                          • I am glad Rodgers loves SDSU so much because I would hate to see him mad at us!

                            Isnt there a few other FCS programs he could raid if he wants a team of FCS recruits to coach? Doesn’t he need a good WR?

                              i have thought about this, but did not say anything yet. does this send any message to potential future employers? something like, if you hire Jimmy, you better be sure you can keep him for a long time because he will try to tear your program down to the studs on his way out

                              I just dont think it is something that looks good. everyone knows his story and how long he has been with Stig. Stig is VERY respected in the coaching world and i think maybe doing this to Stigs program on the way out could have people outside of pullman thinking twice about Jimmy and maybe his staff too

                                Rodgers promised the fans a dynasty! He is doing all he can to ensure it doesn’t happen. Why would recruits believe him now either?
