I remember several years back, a few players transferred from Clintwood. I think they went to Pound. As best I recall, neither was any big loss to Clintwood, they did actually help Pound a bit, but don't think for a moment that Clintwood didn't have a point to prove to them they made a mistake. I'm sure those guys wanted to prove to Clintwood they made a mistake not giving them the chance to play. It works both ways and when its a player who played, its even more motivation.

I couldn't tell you what Pound has back, but if they have a single guy who blocked for Strouth, I'd be on them talking about how they worked for him and he bailed on them when things got rough. I'm sure the old military view, would you want that guy in your foxhole with you, comes up.

And to be honest, there isn't a team, a coach or a fan who would have reacted any other way. If one of the few talents that Kelly had 2 years ago had transferred out, good kid or not, when Kelly played them, they would have been wanting to smack the stuffing out of him.
