dang, if Mashak and Aidoo jump ship (never mind Jefferson, Dillione, and Awaka), what does that say about our NIL or lack thereof, what is allotted for the bball program, or what role Barnes has played in this?
Yep, will get flamed because no one wants to talk about this, but we were able to keep who we wanted on the football team, but just about the entire remaining roster is now potentially leaving for more playing time and NIL... did we/Barnes not want to pony up or do we not have the funds to match/keep the existing roster? At this rate 3/4 of our starters next season will be from the portal... Confident we'll land some studs, but this is definitely a head scratcher on the mass exodus... Anyone with nuggets on why we aren't willing to pay/match or why they are leaving?
Was looking forward to seeing the younger guys develop next season and see what the new starters could do...
