This isn't about talent. We are losing some players like MLC who have the talent to contribute at a P5 level. A number of the players we are losing I had hoped would still be here.Sanders has been very transparent from day 1. He was going to try and get you to quit. Well, they're quitting. They might not all like it, but this is the reality of what the players asked for with the NIL and transfer changes.
Sanders also believes this brutal honesty is what will help these kids up to find a place that does fit better for them and their skills.
That’s the worst one so far imoAubrey Smith gone. And he earned a number
Um, I meant this Hatman.
We probably needed it more.Is this going to end up being more than JSU though?

HE AINT HARD TO FINDI’m not specifically concerned with all these players leaving but I am concerned by who’s replacing them. The quantity/quality of players currently in the portal is clearly below the fall portal. In turn many of the recent transfers we’ve offered seem pretty underwhelming. Prime said a few days ago that most of the players who will be starters next season aren’t even on the team yet. I’m really not sure who he’s even hypothetically referring to. Seems like wishful thinking.
Helping with the schollie limit.Woods and Tyson are the only players from last years roster who can make a difference on a good team. Tyson is injured and may not have played this year and DB and WR are the two positions were there is depth. I don't think recruits are concerned about keeping players from last years 1-11 team. In fact, knowing those players will be replaced with more skilled players and having open positions for them to compete for is an attractive option. This is change, good change. The only big loss was the recruit from Louisiana.

I figured out why he and a handful of others were in grey in the first 2 minutes of the scrimmage.Grey "outfit". Jesus fvcking Christ.
Tell me you don't know how this works while absolutely telling me you don't know how all this works.
And HarkeyOutside of Tyson, I didn’t feel like there were any coveted players on the prior roster. Woods, Gray, Hankerson, and MLC were in that next group. After that, Sami and Deion Smith.
Ok so who’s next?
-D. Carter
-Robinson
-Harkey
-Eckardt
-Austin
-Magalei
-Gustav (no mentions of him for a while)
-Wiley (would have thought this is a given but staff seems to like his effort)
-Bethel
Surprises:
-Deion Smith
This year, there’s a new rule incoming coaches can cut/retire 10 players from the inherited roster. I wonder how many of todays defections are from that 10.
Edit: in the time it took to write that Smith transferred out!
I too am anxious for the happy side of this to start.... but gotta trust that Prime and Co have a pretty clear understanding of who is coming and goingWe had over 70 players here this weekend and not one commit yet…I know we should be patient and Prime mentioned that they apparently already have some transfers locked up, but I expected a little more commits than this after all that hype.
Not to mention the decommitment of our top recruit for 2024 while he was here for the Spring Game really came out of nowhere.
Our other top recruit in 2024 might not even be able to ever play due to legal issues, so we need to start picking up steam in order for us to have one of those “foundational” classes next year.
The portal will be full, and we have the coach who is far and away the most interesting out there, and he ain't hard to find.There’s tons of teams going through what we’re going through right now but I think it’s too hard to focus on anybody but the Buffs at this moment. Portal’s full. And now that we’ve got guys leaving, it might make it more enticing.
