Maldez, if those three guys were pretty good as you indicated why would you blame them for leaving? Wouldn't they like to be on a better team that might win more? Were they poached or do they want to take a chance that they are known and desired by other teams. Only if they get ignored do they lose and that's probably not in the cards for these guys. I believe in the portal for one move. Then you have to sit out. And the age thing is ridiculous when pro players enter the college game. Either way, it looks like the major majors will always find themselves near the top or very much year to year in the mix and about 200-250 will be a crap shoot every year with the money and coaches being the lead attractions for these players.

He has freshman he would probably like a shot at but no guarantee they would stay if he signed them. Portal signees tht will also take off, and players that he knows won't be helping him. You have to wonder where getting an education finds itself because 98% of these guys will be be failures without one. For me, with an anemic ahtletic department with two AD's from the sponsoring teams having the times of their lives at the tournament acting like life couldn't be any better heading two of the worst Division I programs in the nation, it's hard not to drop supporting them with money anymore. I give because I graduated from there and it gave me a good life and I am thankful for that. That'sprobably enough for me to donate by buying season tickets again. My school spirit for sports has all but been eliminated from my conscience. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
