Honestly, not sure how anyone can blame HB for wanting to leave. I can understand being upset by the timing, but you can't blame the kid for wanting to find a place he could potentially start. But I also don't think everyone has to have a "wish him the best" attitude. I don't wish him ill, but once he leaves the team, he leaves my orbit, unless we're playing him. And in that case I'm certainly not wishing him the best. I'm hoping every pass he throws is a pick 6.

Yeah, the timing sucks as a fan but I have no idea what has been said behind closed doors. Bailey's known he was #3 for a good while now, obviously more has transpired and most likely, has been said.
I've seen good people walk off jobs without notice - under the right circumstances.
Or, maybe he is in the wrong but *IDK

Some also wanting other kids that did the same thing at their former program. Just gonna limit judgement, without knowing details.

The thought of Milton starting again is frightening. I bet he bails if HH stays.

Don't see what he has to gain. I'd be shocked if he moved down to FCS with his...ego...and he'd burn a season transferring again otherwise I believe. Jmo but he stays around. The other options just seem so much worse at this point.

Since we're on this car thing, my daughter gave me a voucher to drive a supercar down at various tracks around the country as a Christmas gift last year. Covid, and other issues has delayed me doing it. I think next spring is when I'll schedule it. Which car should I choose?

I chose the 488 when I did this at the track in GA. It was a blast. Porsches didn’t seem to have the same level of performance as the others - tended to cluster toward the back of the pack. May have just been the result of the drivers assigned to them. I’d likely chose the Hellcat next time. It sounded so good.

I don’t see any scenario in which Hooker enters the NFL this year. One positive: NIL deals are going to be a really big tool that schools can use to get persuade guys to stay in school.

Leave now and be a 5th round pick or stay here, put your numbers, improve your game/stock, and make 500k off NIL deals.

Definitely feel 5th is an option but could even be lower, 6th/7th. He can get rookie pay for 5 yrs at those levels or add more film and possibly improve to 1st/2nd round money. Hard decision for sure but should be in no hurry. I'm sure HH will be listening closely to what Coach tells him !

Now find some local businesses who want to give him 500k. So far our NIL deals aren’t very exciting but we’ve been terrible so I can’t blame them.

That’s why I think he may not be a big loss. Not cerebral enough. Trying to be nice here.

Yeah people keep bringing up legs, but I'm not sure he was really that slow physically. Especially his few snaps this year, he had added some quickness it appeared. But his ability to process quickly never seemed to be there and thus his absurd sack rate. Then, in this offense, you have to be able to reset every 20 seconds and manage the offense at an absurdly fast pace over and over and over again.

If he stays it is worse for us. If Heupel couldn't fix his in game tendencies I doubt it can be done. I also have seen him on the sideline and he doesn't appear to be engaged.

Weak QB class could play a part. Kiper has him up to #8 QB. He keeps trending upward as season goes along. He will have a tough decision to make. Hopefully he makes the one Pickett made

I hate the shifts, but honestly guys should just be able to be more well rounded hitters. They leave entire sides of the infield unguarded for some guys. Swallow your pride, just step toward oppo and slap at it and put into play to get on base and make the defense defend it next AB

Or get the Hitting coach to teach you how to to hit to other areas…you’re making millions of dollars, how bout you earn it?
