[QUOTE="Chieftain13, post: 1352380, member: 30980"] As many have said, I don't think any of these transfers and the ones to come should worry folks. IMO, there isn't a single player on the current roster that is a program defining talent and, outside of a few select freshmen, anyone leaving isn't going to be seen as any sort of setback to the rebuild. We are literally at the bottom and can't get much worse. Not to beat a dead horse, but this season was an eye opener for myself and many others that we really need a couple years to lay a new foundation before we'll see any progress. Let's appreciate the guys that want to stay, wish those well that want to leave, and let Lovie and company have another 2 or 3 years before we see real improvement. I don't remember if it was on this board or on twitter, but I remember reading a comment from a HS coach that if he started mostly freshmen he'd be lucky to win a single game. That comment put things in perspective if I think back to my HS days and how poorly teams would do if that were the case, but also how much better your average player gets in 4 years time. We are on the right track. [/QUOTE]
