Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 5503841, member: 5564"] Definitely a positive problem but you can for sure pitch against people poaching our players. Especially if the players are happy AND playing here. Example players like Peña, Deuce, Jahad Carter and Watson. Happy here and played early. All 4 were studs here and well on their way to being draft picks. As they were being developed the right way here. They chose to leave for money. Peña is playing So-So. Definitely had a better season here last year so far. Deuce hated his time at LSU and came back and is a cornerstone of our defense. Jahad left and was basically never seen again. Watson is tbd but isn’t getting nearly as many snaps at Texas this year as he would here. Then you have an abundance of guys that CHOSE to stay here and develop. Outperformed their recruiting rankings and make NFL rosters. All recently you had Iffy, Cisco, Garrett Williams, Trill, Bergeron, Tucker, Lequint Allen, Zaire, Wax, OG, Alijah Clark, and Barron. All in recent years had options to leave for more money. Hell McCord had options with more money but chose to come here. The point is, you can choose to leave here and not properly develop and your NFL chances are likely gone based on past experiences. OR you can choose to stay here, for a little less money. Properly develop and you’ll have as good a shot as making a roster on Sundays than any other school. And past experiences prove that as well. The choice is there’s. Immediate money. Likely 6 figures but your Dream of the NFL is iffy. Or you can still get paid here at Cuse. Not as much, you develop for a couple years but you get your dream of the NFL, 6-7 figures on an NFL roster. For more than a year. Even if you are on practice squad [/QUOTE]
