“Smith is the eighth player from the 2018 recruiting class to transfer, joining Phil Jurkovec (Boston College), Luke Jones (Arkansas), Ovie Oghoufo (Texas), Ja'Mion Franklin (Duke), Derrik Allen (Georgia Tech), Noah Boykin (UMass) and Jack Lamb.”

I understand the 3 stars bolting.
But Jurko, Allen, Boykin, Lamb, and Griffith were all 4 stars.
Gotta do better than that.
I think the Jurkovec transfer is telling. Previously, he would have had to have sat a year before being allowed to play for BC. Since he almost certainly would have been the starter at ND in 2021, he probably stays and waits in the old system.
As far as the other guys...Allen was simply a bad evaluation. When he got here it was obvious he was too big and slow to play safety. He didn't want to play LB so left. Boykin was never an ND fit. ND had moved on from him and then at the last minute he decided he wanted to come, but was never a fit culturally. Lamb is a goo player and hurts depth, but was beat out by two 3-star guys that are a year younger (Liafau and Kiser). His case is why you typically shouldn't bench a player for a younger guy unless you know for sure the younger guy is better. The older guy almost always leaves in that situation.
spring about the the high /attempted suicide rate at the university.
