I fully expected this one and all the others so far. Are the Brown haters waking up to reality yet?

Oh no, we might finish .500 next year…

Always came across as a chair sloucher anyway.

Did you actually think that Donaldson would NOT have entered the portal if Brown stayed? Dude, he was going to enter it as soon as White became the starter this year.

He might have but isn't the point. So many have thought RR would keep him and others that have entered already and build with even more talent. Not sure you are part of that group or not.

I have no idea who will or won’t stay. It’s almost impossible to say. Then I also wonder if any of these guys are entering just to explore their “free market value” with NIL and may return. I’m not sure it’s worth worrying about based on their results over the years. I do wonder if the couple of offensive linemen who have entered has signaled that the oline coach is gone. If we retained anyone, I would have considered DLine and Oline coaches. Both have done well over the past 5-6 years.

 

[WVUBRU]

All that are entering, I'm willing to bet 99% will sign elsewhere. Let me know when one returns to the team

Let's see. He's a RB, who after his explosive freshman season has been mediocre, not rushing more than 800 yards and averaging only 4.6 yards per carry in his sophomore and junior seasons, behind what many said was the "best OL in the Big 12". How many RB's are in the portal than can put up those numbers? I'll answer for you: A LOT.

I agree with those comments. But again, you are lost on my point.

Trying to keep players from transferring is a bad reason to keep a coach who isn't getting it done. We sat through a total shitshow in basketball last season so we could punish someone before there was time to hire a coach. Football is going to have to rebuild also. Neals players aren't likely to take to being coached hard. They didn't sign up for that.

I agree to a point. I just wouldn't paintbrush all the players on the roster as soft. They aren't from what I have witnessed. Many are and they are leaving.

Yeah i agree with that about them not being soft players. It's really more about fit and having options for them. I agree with the players who are wanting to test the waters. If Rich recruits them well, some of them could even come back.

As mentioned before, nothing wrong with testing the waters. Especially when the overwhelming majority of them will be playing at a level below next year. Why not go there and get playing time rather than riding the pine here.

Those 3 fumbles of his in the bowl game not a good blocker. Injury prone. Good luck to you.

Here's the thing. Those that leave are also being replaced. Amazing thing that portal.

Edit: he was a TE trying to become RB.

We will most likely get a bunch of JaxSt guys this season because of familiarity and lack of time. Can hardly wait to see who ends up DC.
