au_bsci_04 407 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 @JHokanson: The Mackenro Alexander news isn't all that surprising. Charlie Harbison brought him in, now he's gone. MA was struggling to find the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war eagle6 0 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Kid was one of the hardest hitters on the team, couldn't understand how come he couldn't see the field more, well, I do, but Gus took care of that situation already. Wherever he goes, somebody has themselves a football player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUEngineer2016 407 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well, that stinks. I really liked Mackenro when he came in, I thought that he'd be a heck of a player. Disappointing, but I wish the best to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,104 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 This. Is processing. Here's a guy that was told to start looking for a new home because the depth chart wasn't clearing up. Best of luck to Mackenro. Wish it had worked out better on the Plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerEyez13 46 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 He was brought in to play the "star" position which no longer exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,579 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hate to hear this. I really admired him and his brother and the struggles they had overcome. Wish him all the luck wherever he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsande07 271 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 He was brought in to play the "star" position which no longer exists. This. I assume he was told / decided he did not fit well with the change of defensive scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to Mackenro. Wish it had worked out better on the Plains. processing as we think of it is just cutting them loose completely and not helping them find another place. Auburn will help someone find a place that will be good for them. Nicky will just say bye and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meh130 1,043 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 He was brought in to play the "star" position which no longer exists. The "Star" is basically a strong safety playing nickel back. Strong safeties still exist. Nickel backs still exist. However, CWM might want to play a CB as nickel. USF plays a 3-4 defense, not a 4-2-5, so Alexander would likely play safety for them. Now, if the issues we are now a 4 DB base defense, and need fewer DBs, and in the past recruited more DBs for a 5 DB base defense, that is a good point. A safety who could not crack the playing rotation in a 5 DB defense will not in a 4 DB defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimesAU 89 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Those who say we're different because we "help them find somewhere to land" have got to take the blinders off. Every school does this and every school helps the guys find a new spot, to a certain degree. Y'all can't vilify ua for doing it, then somehow sugar coat our doing it. Pull your heads out of the sand.
