I’d imagine they didn’t get the same $ offers they did before so are leaving.

We’ll miss guys like Klare and Thieneman but how many teams did we play this year that didn’t have stars or absolute studs and had no problems running over a lesser coached but maybe more talented team.

I think this upcoming year might be rough but if we win 4 and look competitive, it’s a step forward to revenue sharing and hopefully a more balanced $$ playing field moving forward.

Odom is probably not the hire any of us wanted but hoping he’s the one we needed.

This guy is the biggest tight end I've ever heard of (6'8", 290#). Based on his stats looks like a blocking tight end. Might as well make him a left tackle.

Based on the recent NCAA decision regarding players that went to junior college, I wonder if we will get an extra year out of him.

Smith has proven he can create his own shot. But Auburns much longer athletic guys kept guarding Smith and it made it hard. You won't find dudes like that in the Big Ten.

Wasn’t C. J. Smith one of the highest earners from NIL just to collect splinters and piss off others who actually played ?

Signed a TE from UNLV that's 6'8" 290 Lbs. This with the H Back, and the O Linemen they have have signed shows the inability to pick up a yard when needed is being addressed.

How could he not? Granted, you would have thought that would have been clear before this season.

The norm is only a few haves and a whole bunch of have nots. Lots of lousy games and many fans will lose interest. Count me as one of them.

Why do you believe those things?

Why would OSU throw a big NIL check at him to put him on their practice squad?

The ship already sank, and we're rebuilding it. He left because of money and opportunity.

So we had some pretty great players who are now going to very good teams. I’m amazed we couldn’t find a way to win more than one game.
