Agree that fans wanting them to stay is not negative, but most (not all) of the better players will leave before exhausting their eligibility (Peterson, Claiborne, etc.).

I don't know if most on here realize that 6 of the 10 early departures are Redshirt Juniors that have stayed for 4 yrs with the program.

There is no need to redshirt anymore. Quality players will only be here three years, most likely.

Still, it would be nice for some of your future pro talent to come back. I totally understand why people want a few to return.

True and players leaving for pro ball is not a negative either.

There is a difference between a fan simply wanting a player to stay and a fan using a talented player leaving to go pro as some kinda negative toward the team/coaching staff.
