Message: <blockquote data-quote="WVUALLEN" data-source="post: 130953246" data-attributes="member: 1112294">Spin the bottle Buckey boy.Nine departures, two were gone before Neal Brown ever arrived - offensive linemen Matt Jones and Dontae Angus. The former was a starter last year, but the lowest-graded starter of anyone on the offense, per PFF, and he was leaving the program regardless of who the head coach was. The latter has not played a down for the Mountaineers, and had left the team months before, despite not showing up in the portal until January.So we're down to seven, which may seem like it's still a large number, but it's not. First off, did we all forget the previous years? There were a total of fifteen - FIFTEEN - scholarship players that that left the team during 2018 calendar year. There was no coaching change. There was no turmoil. There was no academic misconduct. Fifteen - sixteen if you count Jordan Adams, who left and then came back (before leaving again this off season) - scholarship players just up and left the team, including multiple players who were expected to not only start but make a big impact in 2018. That included defensive linemen Lamonte McDougle Adam Shuler, and wide receiver Reggie Roberson.To say this off season's attrition has been abnormal or the sign of problems within the program or on the coaching staff is disingenuous. It is abnormal, because to have only seven departures after a complete staff overhaul is remarkable.And take a closer look at those seven. That includes four players who were not going to be in the two-deep come the fall. So now we're focused on Marcus Simms, Kenny Robinson, and Derek Pitts. All three of those guys would not only have made a contribution, but were starters. Key starters. Anyone telling you differently is also being disingenuous. However, the first two of those departures had nothing to do with the new coaching staff, and everything to do with the academic misconduct that's been discussed incessantly.So Buckey quit spinning the bottle hoping WVU fails under new head coach. Your boy friend Holgs has moved on. Try to do the same and go cheer for Houston. Numb nuts!</blockquote>
