Until he signs elsewhere, there's definitely a chance he could come back. KD Davis did!

I legit wouldn’t take a million dollars to transfer out of UNT.    One transfer that’s it and one redshirt year in any sport as long as they played 30% or less of the games.    NIL shoul

Is your question based on them entering the Portal or leaving and then entering it again like Shorter?

Continuous shopping?

Maybe we on this board let those in the program make those decisions and we just continue to support our players, coaches, and support staff.

Just my perspective. Feel free to have your own.

It's getting to the point, or this is all you can do if you want to support the mean green. Be there to support your school regardless of who's on the field, and wish the coaches the best. But at the same time, in this new world, feel free to hold players accountable and let them hear it when they don't perform.

Maybe we should give him a copy of Spencer Sander's career stats

Just wondered if once Rogers leaves if there any chance he might come back.  Not feeling good about him leaving us.

I don't know what it means that he didn't tell ChatGPT to write him a thank you note to UNT. All business.

Not even a "Respect my decision" or "God's plan 🙏" lmao

After selfish choice like that…. Nope. He could come crawling back and offer us 100k just to play and I would hold the door open as he leaves…. Already shown his character and that’s problem. We in turn get the same as we get more and more transfers. Guys in battle who would turn their back an walk away while their friends and ally’s take the bullets and sacrifice it all. College sports are really becoming pathetic to watch play out.

KD spent 4 years here before then... Rodgers is a mercenary. This will be his 5th college . He doesn't have loyalty to us and we shouldn't expect it

Objectively stupid.  If someone offered you a million bucks and you don't have a mortgage or rent and all your food is paid for and free gym membership, better work facilities you'd be foolish not to go. Not blaming Rodgers for the sins of the ncaa.

Well, luckily for you, I don't think that's going to happen.

That’s great! These kids may even have difficulty finding jobs because of all this. Our old neighbor worked in distribution for a company. Always said I have never turned down a guy who was an Eagle Scout or came in ready for his first job on a straight path. Always had to turn away the guy bouncing around jobs or were not stable going to various colleges or other fields of work first. It’s really not a great look for the future on all of these NCAA athletes doing this. 😕

This is the most important frame of reference here.

These guys are transferring, because that is what the system is now encouraging them to do.

It hurts us, as fans, to lose players we've come to enjoy watching suit up in Green.  But it's not fair for us to get mad at them when they have an opportunity to earn 6, or even 7 figures playing football for a couple of years.   There's not a single person here on this site who wouldn't make that trade.   Don't even lie @Andrew.

Now, dudes who were stuck on the bench... they're simply transferring to have an opportunity to play.   We shouldn't be mad at them in the first place.

NIL shouldn’t play as factor as it should be abolished and the only money to be made should be incentive based and given to the team equally.

You are either already wealthy or have never had to struggle financially in your lifetime.

I thought offering kids that are on another school’s roster and had yet to enter the portal was an NCAA violation?  Oh, that’s right. The NCAA has no balls.

It is technically,  but ncaa has all but said tampering is legal. We better be doing the same at the fcs level for the best players in that league

Emotional response. Let's say even of Rodgers get 100-200k. Sets him up immediately to invest or buy a house. In this economy it's hard to do right out of school. It ABSOLUTELY  sucks! And I have no excitement going into next year BUT this isn't on Rodgers. He was a hired gun and if we didn't have the worst defense in the country it would have worked out well

To answer the original question… If I’m the coach and any player wanting to come back makes my team better, I’m welcoming you back with open arms.

The Coach looks at it from a much different perspective than a fan, for sure.  
 

I think most coaches would agree with your stance.  
I think most fans would not.

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!

      Morris Weekly Press Conference (11/26/24)

      I appreciate that he obviously keeps track of the dialogue from this board. And I appreciate that he named the very concerns posted by many of us and owned those issues. But, I'm troubled that he could not state a plan to address our problems, other than to say, "we have to do better". That is what Littrell used to say. Anyway... Happy Thanksgiving. Let just be thankful for what we have and enjoy our basketball team playing in primetime tonight.
