This is exactly right. The fact is he didn't play very well at Auburn and if you pointed that out there was a large group that just couldn't take it. Seth Williams bailed out Bo over and over again and was treated much worse by this forum.

I'll take my medicine. When Bo left Auburn, I would have bet a million dollars he'd never go in the first round of the draft. I didn't like his play at Auburn at all. Good for him. Wish him the best of luck.

I agree the receivers were bad, but I also agree with Cole's assessment of Thorne. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Thorne is not taking this team to the playoffs. But we could maybe get to 8 wins now. Win the bowl game for once and I'd be happy with a 9-4 finish.

Wow! I’m surprised and impressed.

Freeze has landed solid contributors but not big fish from the portal. So I'm going to guess "no" and hope that I'm wrong.

Like the majority of our transfers out, Wes is gone because AU didn't want him anymore. He is no longer useful, so he is benched and/or asked to leave. That's fine, it's the only way to win games. But then you can't expect someone like Hood to be loyal. AU wanted Hood to stay. He HAS progressed and knows where he stands, which is a good spot. He must be leaving for what he sees as a better opportunity, whether due to money, family, personal reasons, who knows. I don't love any of it but I don't fault the players more than the coaching staff.

Don't think I've seen on here that Wesley Steiner is also entering the portal. He's the exact opposite of what we all are complaining about. Good kid, hard worker. Playing time diminishing. Freshman passing him by. There is no loyalty on either side. I get if you don't like that. Just remember it goes both ways.

Everything I've seen is he was likely the #3 CB, expected to play a lot this season. Young guy getting good reviews from coaches. So this one is a little odd to me.

Colton Hood enters the transfer portal. This one stings.

Looking positive for Edge Keyron Crawford, DL Philip Blidi (no longer visiting OK), and NT Isaiah Raikes (who transferred to USC four months ago!?). Rumors of a transfer out by a rising player on D who would play a lot this season.

I think that's because the HC is not properly evaluating/valuing the position and/or he is simply failing to recruit a replacement. Trust me, I'm on the same page as you with Thorne.

I find it hard to believe AU is not willing to pay for a QB, of all positions to try to save money. Whatever the reason, our top 3 QB targets and our top RB target have all committed elsewhere. Need to reset and pick up the momentum on the O side.
