Did they just hold out for more cash, what really happened here?
No, our staff had a very frank meeting with all commits and said get left or get right. That told them who was all in. That's where you see these graphics that have been put out by our commits about their recruitment being closed. They got that from the staff after those calls. Buckhalter and Pounders have always been silent OM commits. They wanted them to the big signing day flip that OM fans get off to and Leach and Co. sniffed it out. Both prospects are good and will eventually contribute for OM but they're also easily replaceable.
I like it ... Leach's stock is rising - maybe I should buy nowQuote:

Both can be EASILY replaced and upgraded..
we weren’t going to be blindsided or have the Hat Flip NSD...
we have time now to fill these spots. And ponders already has been upgraded with Reese...
Was this same approach done with Daniels, Knox, or Nabers? Obviously no ..
It's not that far offQuote:

I like it. Current staff seem to know the difference between working hard and working smart, and are able to do both depending on what is called for.Quote:
