re: Why is everyone leaving Arkansas?

Well then the rumor they left because of said position coach is false.

The Walmart people aren't providing enough NIL or hershey's kisses.

Unless it deals with bike trails.

It is a matter of a numbers game. Arkansas is way over the scholarship limit.

There is some truth to this. A lot of these guys had to go.

Let's just stop pretending Foucha and Brooks are included in that.

But we're not losing 14 guys or whatever the count is, we're losing 3: Foucha, Brooks, and Hornsby and maybe 1 or two more that we hoped to keep.

While I'm sad to see him go, Hornsby wasn't going to play much for a while. I'm sure they fought to keep him but it's probably not going to have a huge effect on us, at least in the near future.

So we took 2 gut shots, no doubt. Then people started looking at the portal numbers and assumed we took 14 gut shots

I’d hate to be a college coach trying to manage a roster eatery year with the transfer portal and NIL.

Foucha and Brooks isn't that big of a loss.

As individual players, I'd agree. But losing both at the same time is a big hit to our already shitty depth at DB. Unless we make some huge moves in the portal, folks are going to be routinely dropping 400 yards passing on next year's defense.

Sadly true and only in the sense of
(with apologies to JFK) "ask not what I can do
for my team but what the team can do for me."
With the transfer portal, NIL and big loose money,
college football has reverted to the wild west.
Everybody who leaves to play the
market, has the same message : "Love this school, love the team & fans
but sorry, it's what's best for me."

LSU could reap some benefits here. Everyone wants to harp on our recruiting class but people seem to forget that now we just have a lot more openings for more experienced college players than high school players.. We’ll see how it all shakes out, but Polian is off to a very good start so far and I wouldn’t count them out for a lot of these guys. Plug and play guys just like Frazier.

Players are leaving all teams, not just Arkansas. I'd say it is the same as we have seen, they are recruiting better players and the ones leaving want playing time.
