Well it's not all arguing for the sake of arguing. I do think you're wrong. But, this place needs some excitement. ;)
Who the heck nominated you to be the boss man????

I'll say it.  The "other thing" is that Joc supposedly got into a fight with one of the other players over tradition, blah blah blah.   It was as HTK says "more than one thing" and the "one thing" was more than talent.

I'm sure most of you already have read that on other boards and blogs so I doubt it's news. It's also second hand and might not be true.

Now, if Joc Bruce was Jalen Hurd, would he still be on the team in spite of everything?  Who knows.  But HTK likely is correct that it was more than classes.  Had it just been the classes he would still be there regardless of talent level.

It sounds pretty heartless and pretty cutthroat, but if you are a player who is

1) playing for a coach working on an all-out overhaul of his roster, and

2) at the bottom of a large, talented recruiting class

then it should go without saying that you don't want to do things to give the coaches a reason to show you the door. It sounds like Bruce did a couple of those things, and so did Kyle Oliver.

He stepped on the T, was called out by Croom, took issue with the correction and "leadership" was applied

There were several other factors, that Herb was alluding to but in the end reality did not match the dream.  It happens.
