Vito going bye-bye
- Thread starter SaltyCat22
- Start date
Unfortunate but Childress and Afari are probably the starters anyway. Also, VT had some very good games/moments. But, he also seemingly played on the ragged edge way too often and either received dumb PF flags or was very, very close many times. Always was worried about him keeping his cool and not costing us a game with a dumb PF penalty. Way too much woofing and trash talking for my taste.
Lovett, Geiger, Childress, Alfari … at least one of the transfer has trained at safety. Should be fine.
But, Vito had great potential. Seemed he did not learn from testing Stoops early in his career. A problem gone is better than a problem placated.

All that talent and now gone. Hopefully he gets his life straightened out.
I loved the way he played. He lived to blow things up. Didn't enjoy the flags as much.
Thankfully we're deep at that spot.

At least this is a deep position group.
I hope he can succeed elsewhere

Wow, he gets well and gets kicked off the team. He would hit you and I loved his aggressiveness but he was kind of a loose cannon from some things I’ve read about him. After being here for a couple of years why do you want to do something you know will get you the boot?
If you can’t follow the rules you gotta go. This guy was a troublemaker from day 1. Doesn’t deserve to wear the colors.
Vito’s con finally out weighed his pros. With Childress coming along nicely the leash got shorter.
What kind of dumbass thug bullshit did he pull this time? He's the idiot who brought the gun to the frat party. We don't need that thug bullshit around here.
Hate to see any kid go the wrong direction, but at least that opens up a spot on the roster for another transfer if they there is anyone out there that they think could help them.
I think they have a lot of depth at that spot but they might want to use it elsewhere where they are a little thin. Mostly depends on who might be out there.
Should have plenty of depth. In fact, Tisdale was likely part of the “depth,” instead of a starter.
I’ll never be 100% sure what happened at that frat party but I’ll also never be convinced Vito was just a victim of circumstance there
Yep had the same thoughts. Addition by subtraction IMO. Think we underestimated how much discipline and chemistry mean to a team, I know I have in the past.
Love CMS. Players coach, but you best not cross a line with him or it's by by.
Agree with this. Stoops is seen by some rival fans as too lenient, but he’s just a great dude that doesn’t want one mistake to derail a kid’s life. He’s given plenty of second chances (some public and probably plenty more privately). Alex Montgomery’s career was over due to injury & instead of letting him go down a bad path without a lot of support (outside of his grandparents) he looked after him like a son. That goes to show you Stoops loves these kids, but he isn’t a pushover either. He isn’t going to let someone make a fool of him & like you said I think there’s a line that once you cross it he isn’t going to put up with it anymore.
The rumors are out on social media. It is a pretty easy guess honestly based on previous rumors about his “interests” away from football.
He's been a Head Case since he's been on the team. A penalty just waiting to happen.
Posting disparaging rumors especially towards members or former members of the athletics programs isn't allowed. Please refrain from doing so.
