"I don't want to be down on Coach Dickey, but he wasn't super technique oriented, so I watched the guys in front of me, studied them do the drills, and just mimic their movements and go from there" Glad Dickey is gone.

10% Loyal and true, the rest its only about the money. Ridiculous to think that it is any other way. College football has been harmed beyond any possible correction. 50% of the team will change each year and if you happen to develop a "loyal and true" stud from a 3* they will be bought away by higher paying schools.
