Looking at the transfers out, the way I assess it:

We lost 3 guys to other SEC schools.

Crown jewel of hiring Lebby and his first class was one of them. It's a major negative to have what happened with Van Buren happen. I look at that as strike 2 towards saying he can't do this. (Strike 1 was the Toledo blowout.)

Coleman was a rental and went home. Craver wanted a payday that we didn't have the luxury to spend on. Hate it, but can't hold that against him.

Get some more OL bodies, get another 2 DBs, get another 2 WRs. Then I have optimism for 2025 into 2026. Win 5 games or more next year and 2026 looks exciting not just to fans, but to prospects as well. Don't and it would be strike 3. But up or shut up.
