I’d rather keep the roster and lose Hop than lose the roster and keep Hop.
Couldn’t disagree more
Some of the guys leaving could be decent P12 role players maybe but nobody in that group is a difference maker ... I suspect most will drop at least one level of a conference
This is effectively gutting the roster for the next coach which IMO is preferable to the next coach having to come in and burn bridges step 1
These kids aren’t being run off they’re abandoning this sinking ship.
If Hop could recruit it would be one thing. He can’t.
He’s going to replace them with even worse players.
I agree to a point, but I've seen pretty awful teams have way less attrition though. Some might be jumping ship, but some are probably also being told it would be better for them to leave. Hop recruited pretty well until like a year and a half ago. I bet he's got some slime ball connections that can get us a few decent transfers. Still going to finish 9-12 next year in the conference, Jen is just delaying the inevitable.
