January 17, 20196 yr Props for inside sauces @closetojumping @Machinator Find it hard to believe he doesn't come to SMU with Ben Hick's bitch-made ass transferring to Arkansas. Have fun with that one, Razorbacks. I will begin accepting bandwagon applications.
January 17, 20196 yr SMU seems like a logical fit, then again maybe get out of the comfort zone and take a shot with a Big 10 team that needs a QB complete change of environment. Regardless as was mentioned before he was a true team player which is seemingly rarer and rarer these days, and a benefit to Sam as a defacto OC on the sidelines.
January 17, 20196 yr Hook 'em, Shane. Always rooted for you to become more than what you did, but I don't completely blame you for not. You were a mid-4 star guy who should not have had to start as a true freshman, but you did and beat Notre Dame. Hang your hat on that. Should've had the benefit of a redshirt that a healthy program would've given him, should've had a decent QB to learn from that a healthy program would've given him (just think about the type of help he provides Sam, and ask who tf would have given him that his first two years?), should've had a better coach than Shawn fucking Watson to mold him. I think we'll be fine with Thompson as a backup and a true freshman as an emergency backup (where they should be). Rising is going to start somewhere, but so be it, this is the new era of transfer portals.

Just so long as I don't have to stand next to CJK5H, because hanging out with that dude is a deal-breaker.

This means to me that the coaches had a talk with Shane and told him the best he'd get next year would be splitting trash-time snaps with a backup that they feel will be better suited to this offense. It's what they needed to do. Shane just isn't elite enough to take us where we need to go. You have to have a budding star ready to take over should something happen to Sam. That backup needs snaps, and if he gets them, who knows, Sam goes down and he comes in and takes over the game. Kinda like Mike White, but at the college level.

I don’t think that’s what happened at all. I think Buechele thinks, rightly, he can compete for a starting job somewhere else and play football for 2 years instead of backing up Ehlinger. No need to over complicate it.

January 17, 20196 yr Shane is good enough to start somewhere. Think he’d be a good fit in most spread offenses. Hate to lose him. Having an experienced backup would be nice.

January 18, 20196 yr Thank you to Shane 🤘 he helped get the ball rolling again! Sincere best wishes he gets his time playing balls out for two years then comes back to apprentice under Tom.
January 18, 20196 yr Can’t believe I’m saying this but I hope he transfers to Arkansas so he can go ape shit on aggy

I hate to see him go to Arky. Maybe he can go to Texas State and find a way to beat them. How awesome would a 2nd string Texas QB playing at Texas State with a ex aggy couch winning be. Not likely but awesome.
January 18, 20196 yr I appreciate his contributions to the team. Unless he's put into some sort of quick trigger offense, not sure I'm seeing a long term future given his tendency to drop his eyes, self sack, and feel pressure that isn't there. But I understand his desire to find out. It wasn't going to happen here. Good luck, dude. Edited January 18, 20196 yr by Bateshorn
January 18, 20196 yr Really wished this guy played baseball here instead. He’s got the perfect body frame of middle infielder and he was apparently a bitch of a pitcher in high school. Oh well. Hook ‘em, Shane.

I appreciate what Shane's done for the program too, but he came face to face with reality. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the coaches have told at least one of the remaining backups that they'd be getting playing time next year. Certainly, that would be the right direction for the program to take. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if one of them pulled Shane aside and said hey, if you want to be a starter, you need to explore your options.

You think the coaches pulled him aside to tell him he wasn’t going to be starting? I would think the fact that he wasn’t the starter this year would have already clued him in. You’re way overthinking this.

I would think the fact that he wasn’t the starter this year would have already clued him in. You’re way overthinking this. Agreed. I don't think they pulled him aside recently for a conversation about how he won't be starting and might not be the clear number 2 in 2019. Rather I think they had a conversation before the 2018 season in which they let him know Sam was definitely the guy. Herman probably told Shane how much Herm valued him and wanted him as part of this season but that they would help him RS if at all possible. Shane has known since the summer that any future as QB1 was elsewhere. He chose to stay for 2018 rather than to leave for 2019, if that makes sense.
January 18, 20196 yr Yeah I would be shocked if the coaches pulled him aside and said anything. Maybe if we were retaining both Rising/Thompson they might have nudged him towards transferring, but with just Thompson as backup and ROJO likely being useless as a freshman there is no doubt in my mind they would rather have Shane than not.
January 18, 20196 yr I'm glad Shane was a good sport and a decent backup, but he was very limited and built like glass. I'm ready for Casey to take over because he's built for the role. Big, string kid who can throw. I still don't know about his accuracy, but from whay little I saw he had some damn good throws

January 18, 20196 yr I wanna see him dominate at SMU. Make it to the league and sit on the bench of the Pats and win a Super Bowl. Anyone that says fuck you and your OU family bullshit with the hook em horns is alright in my book. Go forth and be successful

January 20, 20196 yr As both a Coug and Longhorn I think it would be really cool if Shane wanted to “lead the nation in passing” next year.

January 22, 20196 yr Shane still currently on the team while also in the transfer portal. May go thru both Winter Offseason and Spring Ball too....... “Shane, so proud for him and excited to see what the future holds for him,” Herman said. “Again, this is new for both of us. What I told him was whatever you’re comfortable with. I think it would be good for you to go through the winter offseason with (strength coach) Yancy (McKnight). I think it would be good for you to go through spring practice and stay sharp. “But I’m also hoping that he doesn’t have to make a decision until May, either,” Herman added. “We certainly want what’s best for him. Yeah, he’s part of our team.” https://www.hookem.com/story/transfers-texas-coach-tom-herman-excited-new-look-quarterback-room/ Edited January 22, 20196 yr by LTtxfan
