He is is 16-14 overall and 11-7 at MSU. People complaining about Allen's contact would really hate this one. I think there is an underlying factor in this deal that you really can't discuss.

It is obviously multifactorial, and kudos to he and his agent for getting paid. But he completely rebuilt their staff and roster, strongly utilizing the transfer portal. What ratio of skill/luck remains to be seen. They were ready to be in the bottom 3 in the east instead of one of the power 4. Tip of the cap to him for his rapid success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 No surprise but both Karlaftis and Bell won’t be back next year. They’ve both proven everything they needed to but it’ll suck not having them back. Both going to be high draft picks I’d imagine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell already risked a ton this year after his concussion against ND. He easily could’ve sat out the rest of the year and prepped foe the draft. Hell, he didn’t even practice the week of the bucket game and still played because he wanted to be out there for his teammates. I’d say that’s more important than missing a bowl game.

I know 2-3 years ago a few gms said they would never consider a player that sits out but Im guessing that is slowly changing, especially guys with zero to prove. Not saying I agree.

BGleas Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 These bowl games are completely meaningless. I think once the Jaylen Smith injury happened in the Fiesta Bowl several years ago, the idea that holding it against a kid for sitting out because ridiculous. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just leave it up to the kid, every situation is different. These kids are multi million dollar investments and are sitting on lottery tickets. Its one thing if there is nothing on the line and your stock is set. A whole nother if you are a beast for a trash team. It does suck if you are the heart and soul of your team and then you sit out like Elijah Moore and Kenny Yeboah did for Ole Miss last year and then they still spanked their opponent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could’ve easily shut things down after the ND game and we would’ve understood. The fact that he came back and played shows his teammates what kind of competitor and teammate he is. I think the majority of his teammates would understand if he chose not to play. He’s still pretty banged up too and needs to show well at the combine. It’s already been a heck of a season and it’s just one game. Tennessee already announced one of their stud CB’s is opting out too I believe.

So there is a qualifier for sitting out on your team? I am not trying to make this about Bell/GK at all. I'm talking about the situation in general. Like I don't think Bell or GK are some bad people or anything like that. But, no, I don't agree with their decision or the reasons for doing so. And.. like always... my opinion matters 0.
