It is common for players to leave programs, but not at the rate that we lose them.
There was the first mass exodus that included JJ, Raymone, Colby, Kentwan, and maybe a few others. And we lost JJ's brother's (Pancake) commitment at the same time. Those are the ones I remember as they had the most playing time and potential for playing time in the following season. After that though, I don't recall Marlin ever having large groups of players leaving. There have been those 1 or 2 fringe players lost every year due to scholarships, like Kande last year, but I don't recall anything close to that first mass exodus.Quote:

I was high on Hedge before the season started. Hedge let us down.
Maybe it was bc of the others that left when JJ did it seems as though there were more than actual.Quote:

With that said, best of luck to you Hedge. I hope you can land on your feet somewhere and finish your college career on a better note.
