If your sources are telling you differently, spill it. If not how about we just sit back and hope I’m wrong?

I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not.

And Clemson has 3 senior DL that would have been 1st round picks anyways come back after they had already won a natty. So what’s your point? Regardless how does winning the natty make it ok for this mass exodus?

I just want to hear the mental gymnastics these guys are going through to conspire Ed orgeron being a racist. You know, the guy who has helped get minorities out of poverty for nearly three decades

Might as well temper expectations.

No way a team can have this much turnover and be a legit playoff contender.

If they beat everyone but UF. and Bama, I'd consider it a success.

What if it really is because the players think this year will be a significant step back with no burrow et al?

At this point I think 7-3 has to be considered very good.

So they are just quitters? Might as well skip the nfl because most of those teams miss the playoffs.

Coaches are trying to convince Shelvin not to go now. I personally don't understand this one,



Maybe he doesn’t want to work and get his weight down.

Reminds me of what happened to the 49ers in 2015 I think when Patrick Willis and Chris Borland suddenly retired amid an already mass exodus following Harbaugh going to Michigan.

Just move the opt out deadline up, already.


The opt out deadline is for players protecting their eligibility to return for next season.

Shelvin and Chase are not opting out. They are quitting. There is no deadline for quitting. You can quit anytime.

I have no problem with their decisions, but let's just be honest. They are basically declaring for the draft 6 months early. There is no opting out going on.

Coach O didn’t walk with the players like Saban and Riley are doing and I believe it has rubbed those guys the wrong way. May even affect recruiting smh O has to do better with this I do believe he has to regain the trust of a lot of the players

Shelvin essentially confirmed gone by source that is either family or friend.

While this is still a rumor technically. You can take this one to the bank.
