I was really hoping that we would have higher retainment, but it looks like players are slowly moving on. I know that's the norm now but it doesn't make me feel better.

I suppose these players saw the handwriting on the wall or after spring football the coaches met with them to assess their chances of playing. Some surprises, some not. Good luck to all.

While we have had a few guys enter the portal, it is nothing compared to what is happening at the University of Colorado. Since their spring game on Saturday, 14 players have entered the portal, including several starters and key contributors.

It seemed to me we are holding on much better than most universities, but I don't have all the data. There will likely always be a few who figure out they will not be playing much if at all, and they can go somewhere other than D1 and get to play a game they enjoy (and that might fund their college cost.)

I think we are still doing better than we did in the recent past.

WR Davion Johnson has entered the transfer portal Really hate to hear this. I really like him. He is exciting to watch. Was he on a full ride? If not, I wonder if that had anything to do with his decision.

How many of our guys who entered would have been starters besides Tyrin?

What if I told you it wasn't Davion's decision I will 2nd the miss him comment. He was always so explosive to watch and you never knew what would happen with him on the field. I hope he has a successful final season somewhere good.

Sometimes coaching decisions are based on things not visible to a casual fan. We see things that impress us but coaches are watching other things as well. Sometimes a decision that benefits the team is made and it seems counter-intuitive to us/me. Davion and Tyrin and Blair, and Triston may shine in their new schools, I hope so. But coach Patterson is trying to put a roster together that will serve ACU well in its progression to the top of the FCS world and roster changes, even ones we don't understand on the surface, are inevitable. I'm thinking of all the turnover during Golding's first years, or even more so McCarty's first years. It will be an interesting ride. Looking forward to hearing what transfer portal players we bring in this summer.
