Or empty cupboardsPrime gets my respect just for not using "burned to the ground" in any conversations.
I’m guessing a lot have already committed and Dion told them to sit on it to generate headlines.OK, so the "out" door has had the hinges busted off, and we can all agree that was totally necessary (besides maybe 2-3 guys we'd like to have kept for depth.)
My question: when do we see some action on the "in" door? I'm legitimately asking. The portal's been open for 11 days. Are guys signing elsewhere? We have a **** ton of roster spots to fill. I'd really like to see 3-4 high-quality additions (e.g. not from Sac State or Maine or Drake) in the next day or two to feel better about this whole spectacle. I feel like just looking at the sheer # of spots to be filled, we're gonna be scrambling especially at DL.
No. This is doom, or have you gone soft?The purge is probably mostly over. Now is the deep breath. Next is the black and gold wave.

I don't know, man. Lumping every collegiate football player into one group like this is pretty disingenuous. If we are going to be honest, those who fought for NIL have a pretty small overlap with the rank and file player on the college football venn diagram. (No relation to Victor.)Players before: “We should be able to leave if we want! We should get paid!”
Players after: “You are forcing me to transfer so you can bring someone better in? That’s not fair!!”
I agree with you. I was being satirical.I don't know, man. Lumping every collegiate football player into one group like this is pretty disingenuous.

Also, very few of the players who have been cut are vocally whining. Even if you read the comments that were made in the Athletic article, they mostly seem to get it, and the majority of the players who were cut have (so far) handled it with class. It's pretty unfair to paint them all as whining crybabies, or to ascribe the Courtney comments to them as a group. Let's be honest: If any of us busted our asses through an entire spring practice cycle (and nobody is denying that asses weren't being busted), only to be very publicly cut the day after the Spring Game, most of us would be pretty pissed about it.
It's like I said before. There is an unavoidable unpleasantness to this whole proceeding, but I think we as a fanbase need to take a higher road. Disparaging these guys who chose to be Buffs, and were cut through no fault of their own, is a pretty bad look.
Who wants some Corn
I get good satire, but the comment that I was responding to was consistent with an attitude that has been expressed repeatedly, that the players only have themselves to blame for what is going on.I agree with you, but do you get satire?
Definitely the top incoming transfer RB we've seen based on production, remaining eligibility and NFL upside.Holy ****! Most exciting RB prospect we've had in a long long time.
I thought that was insanely aggressive and a lofty goal.And then there were 14.
Up to 73 new players on the 2023 roster.
I thought I was being aggressive when I had initially projected around 60.
I have no idea. But I think we might be like an NFL expansion team in a year that had very friendly rules (like when Jacksonville and Carolina were immediately good).I thought that was insanely aggressive and a lofty goal.
So, if 60 were what he needed to more or less ensure a bowl game... what does 73 create expectations wise?
