Role players have to be content with playing their role. Parker wasn't. And that's ok.

Are there any real red flags with Coleman? I mean, his QBs have been atrocious, so his production hasn't matched that talent. But he didn't seem to be a negative for Auburn's locker room or anything. The main issue as far as I know is that he is going to be really expensive.

Sure. But to connect that to this thread, in modern college football that experience doesn't need to come from a player you originally recruited. Indiana is literally a team of transfers.

Eh, Thomas played in the NFL and seemed on an upward swing until multiple foot injuries. If Parker could reliably catch, he may have been worth keeping over other prospects. He couldn't do that and doesn't offer the upside that other players do.

I understand your concern. I share it. But Parker isn't the player the panic to over. There are literally thousands of players in the portal. Every team is going to have 10+ defections. Again, if Parker is out so that Lockett gets actual playing time, are you still upset? I wouldn't be. Parker is out because he wanted more playing time and the money that comes with it. It isn't greedy. He isn't wrong for wanting it. But Sark and staff aren't necessarily wrong for pushing down his playing time in favor of players with more upside (and that can catch).

If Parker had elite hands, that would make sense. He doesn't. At all. That's not his strength. Maybe someone thinks they can teach him.

Parker Livingstone
I mean, I think he is correct. We look to be spending big the portal on at least one receiver. We have a multiple young, talented players at receiver. There just isn't room for everyone. I personally wished we focused more on developing our recruits rather than getting splash portal hires. But so far during Sark's tenure I haven't seen much evidence that we 1) can develop receivers or 2) put any real emphasis or effort into it.

His drop rate says otherwise.

Indiana is a very well coached team with an elite QB. Omar Cooper JR and Elijah Sarratt are very good receivers with NFL futures. Livingstone's questionable hands are going to be a limiter for him if he ends up at Indiana. That's something they'll have to work on.

Yeah, just crazy to want players with elite talents. I really liked Livingstone, but it is plain to see that he doesn't have any elite physical traits. He has ok, but inconsistent hands. An average catch radius. Some speed, but not a burner. He doesn't have elite quickness. His best attributes are that he runs pretty good routes and knows where to be. Don't get me wrong, it is good to have those sorts of players around. But they shouldn't be a top 3 receiver on a national title contending team. The bigger issue is Sark's refusal to play more receivers. It is why we don't have any development from our young recruits and instead constantly have to portal in experienced receivers. He desperately needs to expand his rotation. One of the things I very much liked from PK was how much we subbed in young players on defense. Sometimes he got a bit too aggressive with it on key downs, but for the most part it was a huge positive for his defenses over the course of a season.

TIL there’s something called fraud tourism. Congrats, Minnesota.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/02/us/minnesota-child-care-centers-fraud-investigation Minnesota child care centers accused of wrongdoing were operating as expected, report says Minnesota child care centers at the heart of widespread fraud allegations fueled by a viral video were operating as expected when visited by investigators, the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said in a news release Friday. “Children were present at all sites except for one – that site, was not yet open for families for the day when inspectors arrived,” the agency said. The agency gathered evidence and initiated further review, noting the investigation into four centers was ongoing, the report stated. The report comes days after YouTube content creator Nick Shirley, who has created anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim videos in the past, posted a viral video in which he claimed to find widespread fraud at Somali-run child care centers. The video, which includes limited evidence for the creator’s allegations, has received 3 million views on YouTube as of Friday and gained traction after being reposted by Vice President JD Vance and former Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk. The conservative activist’s 42-minute video posted the day after Christmas quickly spread, prompting stepped up immigration enforcement, frozen federal funds and more biting rhetoric against the Somali community from President Donald Trump. The state Department of Children, Youth, and Families on Friday warned distribution of “unvetted or deceptive claims and misuse of tip lines can interfere with investigations, create safety risks for families, providers, and employers, and has contributed to harmful discourse about Minnesota’s immigrant communities.”

Kickoff and long-range field goal specialist would make sense.

4 of 5 from 50 plus is pretty fuckin good.

He also had our only touchdown. But clearly he is the problem against Georgia.

He was 4-5 at 50 plus this year. 4 of his 5 misses were at 40 +.

Did you watch Livingstone the other day? Why not make a highlight tape of his drops? You're an absolute child about this.

Parker Livingstone
The ones we lost are the ones that played. Your point would make a lot more sense if we were losing Lockett and French. I just don't get being upset that weakest parts of our weak skill positions are leaving. And since no one on offense showed up against Georgia, I really don't know what you're on about. That's a Sark problem with Georgia. It isn't about individual players.

Being mad that Wingo isn't winning 50/50 balls is like being mad that Blue wasn't running through tackles on third and short. It is just a different skill set. He is elite when he has the ball in space, which is why he plays and gets a lot of targets. No one else on the team is turning a wide receiver screen into a 70+ yard touchdown. And he is getting better at the other parts of being a receiver. He is miles better this season than last. If he seems a similar jump next season, he will legit be one of the best receivers in college. But even if not, he is a great #2 with an elite skill set that can't be easily replicated. Nothing that Livingstone does can't be replaced with any number of D1 receivers.

Mosley getting healthy is the primary driver there. Livingstone was a perfectly adequate receiver as 3rd or 4th option. He runs good routes, but he doesn't have any real elite traits. His high average per reception is a result of him only being really open on long routes or broken plays. He wasn't a guy you could do much with on shorter routes. Clark was completely ineffectual at the beginning of the season. He looked much faster in the bowl game than at any other point. I think he just may finally be healthy.
