Just perusing the X, seems like we're probably going to lose other big contributors. Names I've seen:

Nick E
Tonka
DQ

Seems a lot of programs are expecting anarchy. Monday is going to be wild...I might take the day off.

Soooo this is based on two random *** accounts?
Didn't say for sure. There was a lot of smoke about Nick E leaving last year, and we came up with some NIL deals for him. Sounds all to familiar to the Juice situation. Not shocked at all if defensive guys left. White failed them miserably.

Well, I guess if you didn't like this year's team, the one we field next year will be almost entirely different. Silver lining.

I mean this all feels like a stretch from an account with less than 200 tweets claiming to have 'sources inside the building". I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened, but to relay this as actual info seems a little off base.

Did I say with certainty any of them were leaving? Nope. After the news this morning, I'm not discounting ANYTHING.

They are wanting to get paid. Can't blame them. NIL = wild west

I would not want to be coaching in todays world of college sports. You spend so much time recruiting high school kids and then learn they quickly leave after a year or so and you spend any other time recruiting from the portal. It would seem to me to be a very high stress environment anymore. We used to give coaches grief for leaving players high and dry taking other jobs. Now players do so ten fold. They also do for money. Its truly is making it hard to follow and enjoy the sport anymore.

Some better come to the realization that becoming attached to the players is a fools errand.
We now cheer the laundry, players will come and go.

This. We will lose players, but we are still a Top 30-40 program in profile. We will get our share of good players. We just need to finally hit on the coaching side in order to retain more of the players that we recruit. It's just that simple. I am a fan of professional sports anyway, so the hot-stove (free agency, etc.) portion of the season doesn't bother me. You replace what you lost with what you hope to be better players. We were 5-7 and didn't look good doing it. The only person on our roster that you would consider untouchable was Rattler and we are losing him to graduation. So, goodbye to the ones that leave and hello to the ones that decide to choose us.

Supposedly some of the transfers have to do with impending coaching changes.

I think 'tis the season has a new meaning now. I don't think I'm a fan of it.
