OL Jacob Gannon has left the ISU program

[sunnysideup]

Something smells with this. This guy has devoted four full years to ISU football and after the first week of the fifth year he just leaves? I mean, if something really bad is happening at home I can see it but still, that's a lot of hard work and sweat to toss to the side.

Did April fools and groundhog day merge and change to the fall?

 

[Wesley]

Didn't Phil Bates quit the team really early in the season?

Seemed like that was a mid season departure because he did not want to be a receiver which he became when he went NFL.

 

[Wesley]

What personal reason makes starter people quit after one game?

 

[IcSyU]

Generally when they say "personal" reasons it means he's got a problem with the program, otherwise if it was something family related they say that so the player doesn't get drug through the mud.

 

[dosry5]

wow. Not sure if I've ever seen a starter leave a program in the middle of a season by his own choice before.

Didn't Joe Kane, QB for the ESU Timberwolves leave by his own choice his senior season? He came back though, so maybe Gannon will too........

He was burnt out according to Zack Spears.

He was "burnt out" according to Zack Spears!

Dat speculation though.

So, guys who were starters in '14 at the end of '13 who are no longer with the team:

Coe
Irving
Rodgers
Campos

Am I missing anyone?

Huh?

You're going to give people heart attacks listing him

Just got off the phone with now Former #Cyclone OL Jake Gannon, to simply state it he just got "burnt out". Heck of a kid, brilliant & nice.

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Burnt out.... I can't say anything I won't later regret. But screw him for that.

 

[Judoka]

Pure speculation but I'm guessing the coaches got after the guys pretty good this week. Maybe he couldn't handle that.

In this situation I think the default assumption should be "something really crappy happened in his personal life" not "he's a *****"

Edit: hahhaha. That's what I get for not assuming the worst.

The guy this thread is about

Exactly. The way this was released makes it pretty clear there's a conflict with the coaches/program.

 

[WIB]

Talked to some people. Sounds like he just got ****** yesterday and left practice.

Sad that we're losing passion for football one game into the season. That's not good.
