Then why are they leaving?

If only there were people in the world whose jobs were based on seeking answers to these questions of interest.

Here is an interesting view. Take a look at the 2-deep depth chart as of today. This includes seniors and transfers. People wanted the defense replaced, but currently the offense is leading the way.

I know Oscar has landed at South Carolina, but is there any news on where Ayo Adeyi landed or is he still in the portal waiting for a home?

He is receiving interest from schools, but hasn't landed anywhere yet.

I too was a fan of Ayo and hated to lose him.  Any news on where he will land?  Is there any chance he can be invited back or once you leave you can't come back?  I have seen differing opinion on here.

I’ve checked his Twitter and he’s been radio silent on his recruitment for nearly a month now. He can return if he’s in the portal, players are allowed to withdraw. I’d accept him with open arms if he does want to return

Well, Adeyi just broke that silence. Committed to James Madison University

I think some of them withdraw and come back, just testing the waters.

Who do you think is coming back besides Earle?

Per 247, these are the current players in the portal without new schools. I'm not sure if any come back. A few never played and were more than likely told to enter the portal.

 

Trey Cleveland (no reported offers)

Christian Lee (rumored to be hanging it up)

Sifa Leota (multiple FCS and a few CUSA schools have offered)

Dillon Williams (no reported offers)

Joshua Smith (no reported offers)

Dorian Morris (no reported offers)

Isaiah Johnson (offer from ACU)

Once you enter the portal the coach has no obligation to offer you your scholarship back.

If the coaches encouraged players to enter the portal . . . you're right, they technically still have no obligation to take them back.  But it feels dirty.  I view that a whole lot differently than when a player has decided he's too good for North Texas.

Both sides now view this as a strict business decision. Players will come and go as they please and teams will no longer keep around players that they do not believe will contribute. I have a feeling at some point in the future we will look back and find out that just as many players were hurt by this process as benefited by the process.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
