I unfortunately bought the D.J. Harvey hype. We all did.
Remember Riley Neal? (It hasn’t been that long, but some of you may have blocked it from your memory.) The transfer quarterback came in as a three-year starter at Ball State with a lot of hype, and the thought was that he would be a ready-made replacement for Kyle Shurmur. Instead, we were treated to something much less than that, a guy who got yanked for a walk-on about midway through the 2019 season (leading, ironically, to Vanderbilt’s only SEC win) and a lot of head scratching about whether the people who claim to know things actually know anything.
