Why are people Glad vargas is gone? Without him this year we wouldn't have any depth at the 5. He plays hard. Not every player can be a 5-star recruit.

PT, let's be real, Vargas provides NO depth at the five. Absolutely zero. Depth at the five plays. Guys who contribute nothing ride the bench.

Against South Carolina, a total blow-out, Vargas gets 10 minutes. Against Arkansas Little Rock, a competitive game for 30 minutes, he played 4 total minutes.

When you need depth, you have to give your starters rest during big games. you MUST take pressure off of your starters by bringing in guys to help keep the game somewhat in check just long enough to get your starter a breather.

Vargas provided this much depth in minutes:

Louisville 2
Auburn 3
UT 0

I'm sorry, that is not depth, that is lack of having anybody else on the team that could fill in, that the coach has any confidence in at all! No, Vargas did not have to be a five star recruit. And I remember this message board blasting me last year for saying he was a complete bust and that he was the wrong choice to bring in to provide support for the young Cats during games. Everyone said "Give Cal a summer, and just you wait and see". Well, during that summer, Cal could not even get this kids lack of talent decent enough to play on his own country's team, thus he was virtually cut from a BAD team. He may be a great guy, but great guys do not translate into athletes!
