Why is Dante Sparaco transferring? I thought he was going to be a solid player for us over the next few seasons.

To me, he is a kid who is never happy. Maybe he thinks he is better than he is. He transferred schools in high school and now his 2nd college transfer in 2 years. Not a team player in my opinion.

Isn’t Alex Neale appealing his first year?

As I understand it was denied. I think any player who had a season in which they played 4 games or less previous to the new redshirt rule applied to have that year redshirted but I believe it was denied across the board.

Sounds like you know him personally. I've always got a good laugh out people who assume.

A quick breakdown of players that have moved on, one way or another, from last years team. I’ll edit to add names when and if more pop up.

Gives us an idea of how many players might be added this year still. There are currently 17 names here:

Seniors (11):
John D’Agostino-WR
Connor Sullivan- TE
Curtis Amos-TE
Alex Neale-OL
Wilson Brott- TE
Colin Hammock- OL
Zach Wright- DL
Tucker Yates- DL
Tyrone Fa’anono-DE
Grant Collins-LB
Dre Jackson-DB (don’t think he was on the roster at the end of the year, just going off of MSU bobcat.com roster)


Retired (3):
Balue Chapman-LB
Tyler Natee-RB
Jarod Asche-OL

Transferred out (3):
Maleek Barkley- RB
Mekhi Metcalf- WR
Dante Sparaco- DE
Blake Allred - FB. Transferred to MT Tech. May get an opportunity for more playing time and a shot at LB...where he starred in high school.

Notice how I said in my opinion. I dont assume to know why he is transferring but one has to wonder about 3-4 transfers between high school and colleges. I always laugh at keyboard rangers who talk ****** behind anonymity.

How is that talking ******? I stated facts then offered my opinion on those facts. What would you say about a player who has left his teams 3-4 times in as many years? As I said, I dont assume to know why he keeps transferring. My opinion was a generalization on players that transfer multiple times. He just happens to be the subject matter at this point. Also, I would have no problem saying what I said directly to him or anyone. Maybe he clarifies the situation.

The statements associated with the above bolded and underlined words are all assumptions you have made.
If your assumptions came from your a$$ they probably stink as bad as everything else that comes from there does.
That's how and why it looks like you're talking ****.

An opinion is just that. Its not an assumption on why he is transferring. I will give that I could have generalized the statements a little more.

Well I have no idea how big of a person your are, but it might be entertaining to see you walk up to him and tell him to his face he's not a team player LOL!

Fair enough...and just for reference: 6'2", 275 lbs, former hockey player albeit out of shape at this point in my life. As I said, he may have good reason. All the transferring just leaves too many questions for me. I am in my mid 30s and was taught not to quit teams. I get fit, rules, coaches leaving but there seems to be a pattern here.

No worries Cat4Life. I never got the impression that DS was a prima donna or anything like that but who knows. Maybe he's dealing with depression or something along those lines, I'd sincerely hope we're all a bit more sensitive to that possibility.

That may be....could be along the lines of a post on the Griz tragedy thread. I realize as a competitive person, you strive to be the best. The pressure is likely very high. I have never met the kid so as I said I cant speak to the reasons. I hope he finds what he's chasing.
