Does that say more about the players, coaching or coaches talent evaluations? Don't be so quick to celebrate a secondary turnover of this magnitude if the root cause is not what you think it is.

Any other student can transfer as they please, why should an athlete be treated differently?

Seriously man. Do you really see this cluster f as being good for football. This and nil is turning this game into something very ugly. Give it a few years we’ll just be pulling for a jersey.

Striking, yes, but hard for me to call it “odd.” Their coach evidently is soon to be next to leave, based on everything I’ve been reading these past few weeks. But that may just be wishful thinking on the part of a loud few.

I would think safeties and DE' would like playing here because hitting opponents is not required ---at least this past season it wasn't

Not that it's a bad thing. I've never been a huge fan of the "we got players returning" narrative when the players weren't real good to start with.

That's the old saying "The good news we have the entire secondary coming back. The bad news is, we have the entire secondary coming back!" :)

Maybe, just maybe the staff recognized that the secondary was a weak link in the defense the past 2 seasons and made the decision that underclassmen would be better with an year in the program and to also make upgrades with portal players.

Maybe, if that’s all you see them as.

How could you be so lost

Just because you don’t understand my perspective doesn’t mean that I am lost. You’re one of those that just criticizes personally rather than discuss or think objectively.

When players transfer, and transfer repeatedly chasing money, they just devalue themselves as players, which works in favor of coaching staffs. Players transfer for a variety of reasons and that has to be respected. As fans, we just have to look at each season as “brand new.” Maybe don’t take it so personally. These guys aren’t playing for you.

Austin Price said that he couldn't transfer until he gets his degree in May. So is he going to finish his degree at UT before leaving, or go to another school to finish it, and then transfer in the summer???

Don't know about Austin Price, but I would guess a player could leave whenever he wants to,

One way to look at it, albeit a miserable take. Enjoy the change. Evolve....... OR be miserable

I hope our young talent at DB is ready or can get that way fast because we're obviously clearing a path for them to play now.
