because they do not want to play for Deboer or his staff.


Why wouldn't these kids want to play for a coach that just took his team to the national championship game? If not for the money, why wouldn't they give the guy one year to prove himself? Are they not going to have to compete for playing time against the guys that were already slated for their spots on the team they go too. If I was the guy supposedly slated to be the starter and Downs was receiving a large NIL to take my spot, I'm hitting the portal as well.

Salvage a top 10 2025 recruiting class and I'd feel fine. Everyone is having knee jerk reactions. This caught us all by surprise.

Maybe Because they dont know who he is, and in their world he doesn't move the needle ?

Kids like name brands. They would pay twice as much for a shitty car before reading consumer reports and buying a much better car for half the price. They will pay 300. for a pair of Jordans that will hurt their feet all day rather than buy a 75. pair that are like walking on clouds.

Why do people listen to Paul Finebaum when they could be listening to an informative audio book, or learning a new language ? Human nature.

To be fair, that’s an accomplishment but Sonny Dykes did the same thing. Now I think DeBoer is 100x the coach Dykes is but being in the natty isn’t going to wow a kid on its own.

I was team Kiffin and while I do believe that DeBoer is potentially a better long term coach, I don’t think you see this kind of turnover with a known commodity among the SEC. DeBoer is basically starting from scratch.
