IMO from what I can piece together it went down like this:
AE stayed through the summer. In this he was led to believe that he would have an equal opportunity at the #1 spot.
AE learns upon start of fall practice that there will be no such equality. He too learns that he'll be over there with the practice squad for the next three years.
AE goes and talks with the person who assured him last spring that it's all good.
That person asks him to sleep on it and they can talk the next day.
That person has AE's locker cleaned out before the next days talk.
That person lied last spring to try and keep at least one sucker around for the practice squad.
That person lied to someone who's proven his mettle on the field for KSU.
AE not only deserved equal opportunity, he earned it. There was no opportunity, the deal was done back on signing day.
That person is RP.
Evridge told the coaches he was thinking about transferring on Tuesday. That's a fact.
Fall practices started the previous Saturday. That's a fact.
Evridge was a co-starter through spring practices. That's a fact.
Evridge wanted to transfer just four days after being passed on the depth chart by ONE player. That's a fact.
My opinion is that he was not exactly willing to face an open competition. My opinion is that Evridge thought he was significantly better than Meier, Freeman or both, and should have been getting snaps that went to them.
When he didn't get those snaps, he picked up his ball and left. That's a fact.
Meier hasn't taken a snap of D1A ball since the fall of 2004. That's a fact.
Freeman has never taken a snap of D1A ball. That's a fact.
Evridge took hundreds of snaps last fall, and many more this spring as a co-starter. That's a fact.
The only way Prince can know if Meier or Freeman is capable of being on the field this year is to see them in practice. That's a fact.
When someone else got practice snaps, Evridge wanted to transfer. That's a fact.
