Jordan Dingle leaving, going to USC lite
- Thread starter Father Torque
- Start date
To be plainly honest.....he's been not much to write home about for a few years as the main pass catching TE. Iffy hands....very poor blocker and not elite YAC.
Kamari Anderson is the TE I really want to get back in the fold to be honest.

Stoops said after the year for us not to panic. I guess going 4-8 and most of your best players leaving is not a reason to panic in his mind. We’re replacing a ton of 4 star players with MAC level transfers. So how much worse can it get?
Had read Anderson had poor physicality.
Dingle's been in portal for several weeks has he not?
Definitely crazy going from decent players to joker level players. Before long the consistency of joker results will be raining in too like the 5-7 and the 2-10. You might not have to wait long for the 2-10.
'Poor physicality' - how can our talent evaluators NOT see that before moving heaven and earth to successfully recruit him, have him on the team for 2 years, etc.? Surely they looked at KA in real action and film and thought he was going to be a stud at this level. How have they missed so badly on him, Dingle, BB, et al during the evaluation phase?
What he meant to say is.....don't panic. I'm still getting paid. Relax.
I'm just passing on what I read but I figure this type of thing Stoops was referring to when he said their vetting needs to get better....at least I hope so.
Can’t blame any TE for not wanting to play for this program. Honestly can’t really blame any offensive player for not wanting to play here
Yep.Just hang on! The show Stoops allowed this year makes sure that it is not done. When you loose 3 star recruits for something better, you are in a shush show. Maybe we can keep on grabbing MAC Linemen and feel good about it. I have not been more disappointed in ten years!
Yes and we paid him to come back. Should've let him go. Weak as hell blocking to the point he was basically unplayable. This year he compounded that by dropping passes including one that deflected into a crucial int.
Another one i say good riddance. Hopefully this gets us Anderson back, who imo was way better already.
Get Willie R. and Anderson back and we’re good. The rest of them stunk
However will we replace the 9 passes he caught and 54 (low estimate) blocks he missed this season? (sarcasm intended)
Our TEs, as a group, caught 25 passes, 15% of all receptions - that's pathetic. Either the room as a whole is just not very good, they were used improperly, the plays were not called/designed to utilize the TE and/or our QBs didn't look for them. But, week after week as I watch both college and NFL football, I see TEs used copiously in the middle of the field to move the chains. Yet, we threw outside the hash marks a much higher % than I see almost every other CFB team. And, it work so well!!

Ill never forget him completely limp wristing that edge block vs sc two years ago that caused a fumble on the opening reverse. Set the tone for the entire game and gave them a boost they didn't need vs yet another uk backup qb.
Hell maybe thats why sc took him. He already helped them win a game.

Over the last several years. USC lite (South Carolina) has been better than USC (Southern Cal). And it's looking like this could continue for the next several years.
I agree Anderson had elite athleticism. I like Rodriguez too. But I'm amazed all of them dont leave at some point. We've had a supposed loaded TE room for how many years now and even if they do see the field they share 1 or 2 catches a game amongst them all! I know the throw it to the TE is worn out but still there's not question we've underused this group for years now.
At some point we have to let the TE release into pass long game vs forcing them to do so many max protection schemes…that is a huge part of why spotty pass catching stats
The other part is our offense coordinator does not coach them into scheme near well enough. It’s almost like our qbs are not good at throwing inside the hashes barring deep dig routes to Dane Key. But slants, hitting TE in gaps of defense, why we can’t hit more play action to TE…just poor coaching
