I know Speedy is our most productive RB, but why is everyone acting like Scott is second tier or doesn't matter? He could be very helpful to us in the future and I'd like to keep him here. It would be a huge loss if he transferred, but I wouldn't blame him.

Seriously. This post makes the most sense in this entire thread to me. Scott still has talent, and if he leaves, I think we'll have a situation like Calhoun - he'll do great elsewhere. Stewart might have won the starting job for now, but Hawk still mismanages the entire ****ing team. Kansas was a great win for the players, but coaching staff (aside from Brown and Cabral) have a lot still left to prove.
What are you guys talking about? Looking through this thread, the most negative Scott post is probably mine, and I don't think it was anti-Scott at all. Scott gets more dedicated posts on this site than any other player on the roster; Scott, D. Scott, Scott's knee, Scott in the Wildcat, I'll puke if they don't give Scott the ball, etc., etc.
Dude gets plenty of attention around here, and not much seems negative to me. If anything, he gets too much attention given what has been shown on the field.
This is another reason I don't understand Hawkins. He is so protective of Hansen's RS that we lose a couple of games we could maybe have won, but here's an injured guy that he plays just enough to make sure he won't get the medical RS. Unfathomable!
Not sure Scotts problems are entirely physical. Seems like he makes a lot of mental errors. Infinity is right, though. If we lose Scott after this year that's a huge blow. People don't seem to notice that Speedy carrying the ball 20 times a game is likely to result in some injuries and with Polk switching to safety, we don't have that great of RB depth. Let's also not forget that Scott was offered a scholarship to anywhere in the country based on his talent, if the light goes on for him, I'd love for it to be in Boulder.
He still has his redshirt available to use, though. It really just depends on how much he thinks he's going to play the next two years. If he doesn't think he'll get the ball enough then he'll transfer I think.
