Transfer portals before playoffs are killing our depth

[yabadabadolnavy]

We’re not going to have any depth with these transfers if we make a deep run. More games = more injuries. Not good. Huepel needs to do a better job keeping us together. We have a championship to play for

Name one that matters....I'l wait

Can tell you’re a flintstone....or a squid.

We are by no means in any worse shape than any other team in the FBS.

In ain’t Heupel, it’s the ridiculous system he’s having to deal with. There shouldn’t be any portal activity right now. Plus, what the hell are kids thinking by bailing as the team heads into the playoff? Just ride it out for a few weeks.

It's the way the calender is set up right now. They pretty much have to do it now. It's just not us. This is affecting every playoff team

Kids these days are entitled and think they deserve it now. If they can’t get it here they’ll downgrade and play somewhere.

Nothing Heupel can do about this. It's just the way CFB is now

The plague of entitlement is killing everything !

FOMO. Young adults are often easily swayed by the promise of more money. Can't blame them, really.

This is the peak earning window for lots of these young men. It's not entitlement to make a business decision for your own future.

If anything, you're the entitled one thinking they owe you something.

It does seem like the calendar is really irrational and needs to get fixed, though the transferring players have to get enrolled for the next semester.

Can't blame a guy for wanting to play. Also, if your dream is a shot at the next level, scouts don't "scout" the sidelines.

First are you even a UT fan. I have not seen one positive post from you going back a few posts. Tell us who we will miss in the playoffs.

A huge portion of that revenue potential is tied to fan interest. If the shenanigans keep up and it keeps getting more out of control there’s going to be some people that choose to spend their entertainment dollar elsewhere. Leaving school to chase money while your teammates are chasing a ring is pretty grody.

Little disappointed that Webb is leaving, but can’t blame him or Kalifa

IMO, Jalen Smith will be missed. Losing him right now is not good, no matter how you look at it.

Great post!!! EVERY quality team is going to do this. Just how many times have you heard these transfers names called on game day? EXACTLY!!!

 

[VolArmy74]

Losing Smith stinks. He was playing and was actually the highest graded LB vs Vandy.

 

[Houstonvol1]

Read the 2025 roster post. Around 14 players will need to leave for the numbers to work out. We still have penalty reductions. There will be a lot more.

Dude you post nothing but crap.

As others have said, he is slow. Easily replaceable.

Some may say Smith but I disagree. I don’t think we will miss any of these guys leaving. And OP makes it sound like Heupel can actually do anything about guys leaving. Hey if they wanna go, bye Felicia. We will be fine.
