At this point, just keep Nico.

Lord

If he wants out
See ya
Play JM or GM

Makes you wonder if there is something going on with staff.

Regression since 2022, missed on recruiting trail, unable to develop, unable to keep
the big time players they do land AFTER making the playoffs.

It doesnt add up.

We’ve kept everyone we’ve wanted so far. We landed a great WR freshmen class. Have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

So I’m guessing we were the team trying to keep players from hitting the portal prior to the CFP game with OSU. Only makes sense that it was us with the attrition.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Money cures a lot of problems regardless of chemistry

What's crazy in these last few days, and week. Is literally bleeding, just...isnt stopping. Keep waiting to hear that were in on a new portal player...and then this **** happens. Crazy.

We’re not developing WR’s and there is no reason why Matthew’s shouldn’t have seen the field more often.

One would think we would be used to it by this point

Outside of Matthews what big time player have we been unable to keep?

Ryan Williams, Ryan Wingo. And others, namely kid from OSU.

Geez…this has been said so many times. OSU had to meet with senior captains to decide what ti do with portal players. Dillingham at ASU begged guys to stick with the team until after the playoffs. Happening everywhere.

Well
Possibly but also hard saying how much of this is just people stirring up the pot building drama causing a freak out for no reason

Let the guys walk
You can be replaced
Did it before you and will do it after you

Make the playoffs and suddenly all of Heupel's progress could be undone in one offseason.

 

[KB5252]

Where there's smoke there is fire. The NIL era was always going to be crazy.... But when you're a team fresh off the playoffs and primed to compete......... and you start losing pieces that should start next year, there are problems........ No way around that.

 

[Volbrando]

Wouldn’t blame Mathew’s, he should’ve played more our starting receivers were terrible

I’ve questioned Heupel not playing younger players more all year

 

[Orangeblood75]

Money can’t buy happiness in every situation. Greed is what drives many

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Mathew’s has unreal talent, so much potential we need to keep him

 

[Deebowbear]

Maybe they are leaving because Pope is leaving? I mean, maybe?

We can hope it’s Pope leaving

 

[VolGee4]

Ryan Williams, Ryan Wingo. And others, namely kid from OSU.

Sure, we were recruiting with the big boys. Landed Mitchell and Smith in consecutive years. Haven’t lost any players we wanted. Just doesn’t bake sense what you said.

That and being so loyal to his buddies on staff is giving me fulmer flashbacks

 

[TrippieRedd]

Gonna be a long 45 minutes and even then imma still be worried till at least morning, sometimes **** be delayed lol

 

[Volbrando]

Yep and that’ll get ya fired

[Nighthawkvol10]

I’m sure the same thing is happening to our rivals across the country but I swear it feels like this only happens to us… Just incredibly frustrating, nothing about this situation makes sense.

We have the playing time, money (I’d hope), and connections all in our favor. What could possibly lead to this outcome

 

[Weezer]

If Matthews walks, it's really going to cast a shadow on Spyre IMO. No one has been a big loss until (possibly) now. Matthews would be the first big loss.

My thoughts too. Someone may have filed the paperwork, but we may not know about it until the morning
