Thanks man...But what I'm saying is that we WILL HAVE a much better season than LSU is going to have...this next year as well. Btw, Jarrick Bernard-Converse was born April 29, 2000, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He's going home to finish his playing time...I'm very cool with that. That doesn't make us a blue blood feeder program, that just means JBC wanted to go home and finish out. May he have the best of success and enjoy his home and family at the same time. He likely always wanted to play for his Tigers at LSU, maybe they didnt see his talent or something. Once again, not a big deal or a bad on us.
Additionally Tanner McAlister - "The 5-foot-11, 195-pound defensive back was a three-star recruit as a cornerback in the class of 2018 and is from Rockwall, Texas, the same hometown as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Buckeyes’ record-setting receiver."
I wish both of these young men luck, we will miss them both but we will replace them both with great players. I have no worries about that. I think both are grad transfers. They remain Cowboys to me due to the service and work they put into the Pokes.

horrible is a big strech. We won 12 games...and not just because of one running back. We had a stellar defense and would have had another running back. This is not to downplay Warren as I absolutely loved that guy..but to say we would have been fine and had an outstanding 10 win at least season...not a "horrible season." LOL.
I think we will have to revisit this argument in about 5 seasons from now. With the NIL and the immediate playing time after the portal being fairly new, the restructuring of the SEC, things are only going to get worse for schools like us. Used to just be poaching successful coaches, now it's going to be poaching successful coaches and players.

Smart. Kirby Smart. Left Georgia?
No receiver named Smart. They lost Burton who was their starting slot receiver to Alabama and a couple things could be in play to that regard. Nobody knows if Bennett is actually coming back and nobody knows who is going to be the QB next year. Meanwhile, Alabama has the reigning Heisman winner back.
There are also a whole host of underclassmen receivers that are absolute studs with one recruit already penciled in as the X starter. He only had two catches out of 17 during the NCG which could have chipped him off.
As someone else noted, let the blue bloods poach back and forth from each other all they want. We are not Georgia so when a premier player bolts our program for another school, it leave a mark.

I still view both of those guys as traitors so I have the exact opposite feelings about them. JBC wanting to play in his hometown I can almost forgive. But something about leaving the teammates you've sweated and worked with for 3-4 years to go play for an SEC also ran still rubs me wrong. As for your TA explanation, that's too weak to get on board with. Some guy he may or may not have known (they are at least 3 years apart) is pretty thin. Now, following Knowles is a reasonable, but crappy reason. Either way, I am not wishing them any luck on the playing field and they are not Loyal and True Cowboys to me. I don't ever want to see guys like that back on campus for sure. You picked your home, so go back to Columbus or Baton Rouge.

Oddly, I probably fall into the new school camp most of the time. I'm fine with all the pro-players moves that have been made recently, even though they will probably eventually lead to the demise of OSU football. But this unfettered movement of players is not good. Not for us at least. We are in good hands now, but how long will that last? I'm afraid the answer to that is "until the moment Gundy retires". Once he retires, unless we are able to elevate ourselves over the next 5-10 years close to the level of an Auburn, Oregon, etc*., we are going to return to a stepping stone job. I'm afraid there's not enough NIL money flowing through Stillwater to keep us at this level. So we'll recruit them and develop them, and then they'll move on for a payday. Seems short sighted on the players behalf unless they are getting millions.
