I don't understand the double standard here on this board. Backup DT leaves, re-enters the portal, and now y'all want him back, but when Nolen, our star future 1st round draft pick, left, y'all spent all your free time ripping him and trashing him as a traitor and a loser. Makes no sense to me.Detmersdislocatedshoulder said:
honestly if the kid is a good kid who doesn't cause problems etc i would take him back. he is a decent ball player and knows elkos system. one more solid defensive tackle and we have really good depth.
he also might look at syracuse i think he is from that area and was recruited by robinson.

Once they quit, they DON'T come back, not on my team!!!!!Detmersdislocatedshoulder said:

I think the issue for some of us with Nolen was he was labeled this "instant impact incredible talent" type guy yet he was invisible most games. He didn't disrupt, he didn't cause chaos, he didn't change the game. Yet he made it known he wanted prime rib money while providing choice sirloin performance. It is always good to have depth and Raikes is a depth guy and will be paid depth money. Being a future 1st round pick means nothing in terms of actual impact on the field for his team.The Marksman said:I don't understand the double standard here on this board.

Mostly this. We got basically as much production out of Raikes as we did Walter without the "pay me I'm a star" attitude. Nothing about Walter thus far screams 1st round pick. Or even second day pick for that matter. Now if he turns on the jets I'll eat my words. I'm putting it 50/50 right now that he's right back in the portal after this season.VP at Pierce and Pierce said:I think the issue for some of us with Nolen was he was labeled this "instant impact incredible talent" type guy yet he was invisible most games.

what dont u unerstand? if Nolen were to re-enter portal, we'd probably love to have him back. makes sense.
I'd take them both back, too. I've been a low-key fan of Isaiah for the last couple of years.The Marksman said:I certainly would love to have Walter back, but most of this board would notDivining Rod said:The Marksman said:
