Trahan is a snowflake cuck. He's always put a negative spin on the administration if he could and this hit piece is pathetic. Players don't always fit like coaches and other players thought they would. It's ok to move on and nothing about this article changes anything that's been presented before.
What strikes me as the two most glaring and obvious lies are the "series of unfortunate events" and the fact that the only schools that wanted him to transfer wanted him only if he could play right away. As somebody that transferred no college coach in the world would ever say that. It's standard you sit out unless a situation warrants the transfer.
I used to be a fan of Johnnie Vassar's, but this whole thing has soured me on him.
Claiming that the University put out an announcement on his transfer without his knowledge? What about the tweet where he announced HIS decision to transfer? That and the fact that Northwestern never actually got a player to replace him, even now and even after he was counted as a non-roster player doesn't jive well with the story.
Recruiting kids while a kid is considering transferring doesn't strike me as odd.
Working as a janitor being a complaint? Sheesh. What does that tell you about a kid, especially when supposedly a ton of people felt he didn't work hard (maybe tells you something about why Collins maybe didn't want him on the team).
The falsified time cards is the only problematic thing, IF that proves itself to be true. Given the author, I cannot but find it wholly lacking credibility.
In any case, this hit piece only tells one side of the story. I imagine the truth is somewhere in between. Collins probably did swear at the kid out of frustration. What he was quoted as saying has absolutely nothing on Kevin O'Neill, who would berate his players publicly during the games for all to hear ("F you Molnar, you suck!"). He most certainly did talk to him about playing time, role, and transferring. Nothing wrong with that at all. I doubt Johnnie was so innocent in all of this as the hit piece claims. Almost assuredly, the kid was also not happy with his role on the team and made that clear. His attitude, perhaps a lack of work ethic (given what his work colleagues said, I imagine that wasn't just limited to the his role as a janitor), would likely be poisons to the team's chemistry, so I'm not surprised if Collins also stepped up to the plate to try to "run him off."
Heres the thing. Other kids with limited roles, such as Jordan Ash, David Soboliewski, even Nate Taphorn - why weren't they run off? They probably were told similar things like Vassar- the honest truth - what their roles were going to be and they likely made their decisions to stay. Turner, Abrahamson, Ajou, Kreisburg - they got the same, and decided to leave. Abrahamson's description about what went down sounds about right. Johnnie just couldn't deal with it. The whole bit about all these power 5's wanting him if he didn't have to sit out a year seems laughable. If he wanted to play so much, why not just go to a mid-major? Or did he feel like he was too good for that (noticing a pattern here)?
