One problem that we've always had is with guys leaving the football program. It has caused depth problems and a loss of star power. Last season we'd have gone to a bowl game and perhaps played for the MAC championship if we'd have kept Kilby and Barnes. Given the kind of losses we had they would have been difference makers. And let's not forget that we lost T Porter, our only backup QB with experience.

Now I hear that Aristilde is leaving the program. I don't know what issues he had that kept him out, and yes I do remember the Western game. But I've been watching EMU football for decades and I'm convinced that we've never had a WR with the combination of size and speed that he has.

Maybe he's uncoachable. But that would be on our coaching staff as well as the player.

The coaches need to fix this and stop the talent drain.
