Well, that’s two DB’s this portal cycle that were targeted for a lot of playing time. I honestly thought he was going to work his way to a starter. Starting to get pretty thin back there.

You might want to consider editing your post... not sure if typos or WOBs?
I deciphered your code but others might be dicks about it.

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. I often use voice to text for my posts and it doesn’t always get what I’m trying for lol
Disappointing to hear he is in the portal. He was a big time recruit and I hoped he could work his way into the rotation for next season. But it appears two younger players haved moved ahead of him in the two deeps.
Where have you ever seen or heard that tate was targeted for a lot of playing time?
Yeah, news around the secondary continues to get worse and worse. And considering our guys were burnt toast for most of the year last year, Kirk better do something in the portal, or teams like Indiana and Oregon are going to make mincemeat out of our defense.
Does this have something to do with a WR being moved to DB......or did I dream that happened, which is quite possible.
I just know they sung his praises a lot when he first got on campus. Just assumed his time had come.
The kid from Marion got moved from WR to DB, Mota or something like that.
A guy who was in line for a lot of playing time doesn't leave the program, unless something unrelated to playing time is going on in the guy's life. So, either he wasn't advancing into the amount of playing time he feels he should get (and I will always trust the coaches, particularly Parker, that they know what they want) or something else is happening that caused him to leave.
There are exceptions - Julius Brent was a good CB, but he was playing at a time there were other good CBs at Iowa, and he didn't want to wait another year, but in general, the coaches are right. Preaching patience, your time will come, doesn't register with some, so they move on. Wish him well.

Sounds like the same thing with John Nestor, but when he played he got beat bad.
Most of the responses on this thread seem to indicate Tate left due a 'lack of playing time" or "others passed him on the depth chart".
Y'all might consider the possibility some other team offered him more money.

I am sure a guy who has been in the program for +2 yrs and has yet to see any game action had a lot of NIL offers
