Per MJ on the pregame, Winyard turned down the chance to play

MJ said Cal asked Tai if he wanted to play late in the UGA game and he said no. So, Tai must feel he is not ready.

Yeah we all assume that Cal is so against red shirting but he also gave that option to Wiltjer. I think Cal wants them to play but gives them the decision to make.
 
He will never play here...gonna get recruited right over plus he still has Humphries to get over. Not knocking the kid whatsoever, nothing personal, i just don't think he ever plays

Willis should transfer he'll never play, same old song over and over, just a different player. Some fans just don't get it.

But yet Cal only recruits OAD. When they don't play like it or play at all they should transfer or Cal wasted a scholarship

I bet Jeff Sheppard glad he redshirted and Padgett too

So some of our fans say we need three to four year players. Then they gripe they will get recruited over

The same people bitch about poythress Miller Lee Skal for not living up to expectations All players we would have killed for ten years ago and would be focal point of our team ten years ago. But now we are so spoiled with Wall Davis boogie KAT when they don't pan out we wanna send them to the bench and still complain

Exactly, it only took Duke and Coach K two years to drop out of the top 25 with his OADs. Folks just don't realize how tough it is to get even the very talented freshmen to do the whole package and buy in. Cal is remarkable that he's gotten as many to buy in as he has. If Self had been our coach during this time, it would have been a disaster here.

To be fair: Padgett's red shirt was him taking off to get his academics in order

Cal is pretty hush hush on injuries and academics. He might be doing the same to help the kid. Who knows.
 
This whole thread seems much ado about nothing. Tai is VERY young, finally turned 18 last Friday. I think most of you have already seen this http://www.nationofblue.com/tai-wynyard-i-think-itll-be-better-for-me-to-redshirt/ . It is pretty clear the young man has a plan for himself. He was leaning towards redshirting before he got here. Nothing happened that caused him to change his mind. It is a smart move by him. Much like early enrolled football freshmen, he will be ahead come fall. That's a good thing. We'll see if the big bruiser has game in about 8 months....8 months of practice, 8 months of learning the offense and defense, 8 months of training, 8 months of hard work.

I'll bet this kid has a better career at UK than lee or poythress. Big, strong kid who will be here 3 years plus gets a full 8 months head start on his first year....cal knows.
 
Sad thing is, that I doubt the OP has ever even seen Tai play at all. He's the kind of fan that gives the rest of us a bad name. Just another primadonna who has been spoiled by UK's success and obviously doesn't actually care about the team. How anyone who is a fan would say these things about Tai is beyond me. Only trolls and UL fans like MuEvans would say such things.

Uh... Do I really need to point out to you that I, the op, never suggested he should play? The op was about what MJ reported.

Maybe a reading comprehension course would help you?
