I guess my point focuses on recruiting. We are often forcing guys out the door because they aren't good enough but our staff evaluated and recruited these players only to boot them shortly after. It's a revolving door that isn't just turned by the players on our end.

I'm not stating that our guys transfer at a higher rate than other programs so there is no validity issue you speak of. We just seem to be as responsible for players leaving as the players themselves.

That’s why it’s not right to blame players who try and fall. They were evaluated and told YOU have the talent to compete at a high level. They soon find out that they don’t.

There has always been an end to the bench. Go back and look at rosters under Fletcher, Evans, Lee. You'll see a slew of players who started here but didn't finish here. The possible exception is Fletcher, who kept players like Ashley Landers and Russ Harris even though they never played.

Coaches don't control which athletes fail drug test either. You can investigate character has much as possible, but it's not a perfect science.

I get that, but you don't know the reasons for why players are leaving other programs as well. Because we are fans of the Cajuns we know A LOT more of what goes on in the program.

My assumption, and it may be wrong, is that the vast number of players are leaving because they are unhappy with playing time. I don't consider that being forced out, but I am guess some could interpret it that way.

There have been a number of players transfer out who were pretty much forced out.

I want to correct something I said earlier in this thread. The dead period which goes through May 31 does not prevent people from signing with schools. That was allowed as of yesterday. In fact, as seen in another thread, the women's program announced two signings yesterday. Coach Brodhead was on with Steve earlier today and said that wraps up that class. In regards to the men, I would not be surprised to see something announced within a few days. The dead period which goes through May 31 does prohibit direct contact with recruits and campus visits.
