A) What is said in the game thread is exempt.
B) You also ignored my post later saying "Looks like my reverse psychology worked! What a comeback"

You can't name one guy that left that would have been a difference maker after Leach actually got here. Here are the best of the best that have left.
Key Thompson: Not even a QB anymore and is just listed as a football player. He could not break our two deep at any position.
Shrader - back up at the powerhouse Syracuse
J Payton who did make the two deep at TN but wasn't a starter here and nor would he have been this year. Yes talented and I am disappointed but that dude may not have even cracked the 2 deep this year.
T Shaver? - where is he now? San Diego State where he isn't even starting as a former 5 star, something bad wrong with this picture
Jarion Jones? Back up at Fla State to a freshman and he is a 3rd year guy
Bryvon Jones? Already has left Illinois for Jacksonville State
Stewart Reese - Maybe the only transfer that you can point to saying he could be starting but he was a Mullen recruit that never even made it to see Leach much less get a chance to be coached by him. He as gone by May 2020.
Fabien Lovett - not on Fla State's depth chart
G Spivey - TE and not on TCU's depth chart
Nick Pendley - not on Ga Tech's depth chart
There were others but none of them even went to a Power 5 school. Players leave programs, it's the new normal and quite frankly it's good they left for them and us. It made room for such guys Lashley, Calvin, Polk, Charlton, Abraham, Lovertich, Green and Ruiz. Who are either starting or playing key roles.
I don't buy this one moment. We have been giving him a chance and still are giving him a chance. The moment is coming when us not knowing how to attack a 3 man rush drop 8 is going to no longer be acceptable. They did it to us all last year, they will do it to us all this year, and it will be our doom.
So he is getting a chance, he is just blowing opportunities to show us he knows how to overcome with our team against our competition.
Wow, ran off exactly how many that would be starting this year? I say Zero. Name one.
You could say T Shavers but I would not agree. He was starting last year but he isn't at San Diego State and that's his 3rd school in as many years. That dude has issues and was not going to work out.
All these posts and threads, and somehow no one has used the "we went with a vanilla game plan" excuse.
By "they", do you mean SEC as Saturday's game was the 2nd one we've played outside the conference under Leach. There is a night and day difference in our WR group that we have now versus what we were playing with last year, so I anticipate that they'll get more comfortable in the system and find the holes needed to move the ball forward.
Does Leach get credit for Kylin opting out last year, or is the narrative that Kylin left on his own accord?
Keep the diary log. Why are you talking about old players? The coach says he's going after new players being run off. These are all players that stayed and expected more from their selves, coaches, and MSU as a whole. He can't keep blaming players that want to be here as the problem.
