I hear the deal is done – Burgess going back to BYU. I felt like he was holding things together for Smith, so IMO this is bad news for us.

I’d caution everyone to pay no attention to this. It is coming from Tony Altimore. During the Pac12 disaster he showed himself as a shill at best and a troll at worst (or maybe the other way around). Either way, these days he posts only for reaction. I’ll tip my cap to him because he goes out of his way to target BYU, but in this sense he is basically BigGameBoomer – just trolling for reactions.

He also said he was ready to play last season.

Hypocrite:

Capel about the Big 12: "They play these non-conference schedules that are not very challenging… The average margin of victory, I think, was 27 points, and that skews the numbers."

Pitt's average margin of victory against the #344 non-con SOS? Exactly 27 points per game. https://t.co/J9I6epZGyw

Late-season posturing from teams worried they won’t get an invite.

[radioUte]

Not sure how it is one of the harder schedules without playing either of the Kansas schools or West Virginia.

Hate to add another BYU player for consideration, but Bart Oates was a 5x Pro bowler and 3x Superbowl champion as an NFL center. And I hope that Covey will eventually pass Vai Sikahema as best NFL kick returner from Utah (and for Philadelphia).

Seems pretty clear that everyone involved (Rising and Whittingham) intentionally slow-played the return timeline, most likely in order to preserve our high preseason ranking. Once Rising started taking heat further into the season, and he felt like he wasn’t getting Whittingham’s support for something they had both been doing, he orchestrated the news from his doctor to take some of the pressure off. I don’t fault Rising for that.

Unfortunately, I believe it. I’ve read pretty much the same sentiment posted here and elsewhere over the past year.

Those were moves that we could have made months ago.  There aren’t really any moves (right or wrong) for us to make at this point, I’m afraid.
