I didn't mean to like your post. Do you feel better about yourself trashing these young men who gave a lot more to this school than you ever could . You must be 1 miserable ****

Did he really opt out of the bowl game, and left the team with 2 healthy CBs for bowl game? Really???

Yea I get it when you're a likely 1st or even 2nd round pick but when you're looking at very late round/UDFA are you really helping yourself by not playing in a bowl game? Same for Sam Brown. I don't get the risk/reward calculus there. But these kids always wildly overvalue themselves and every year it gets worse.

Many college-aged kids suffer from heavy optimism bias. Emperical studies have been done on this, albeit in the realm of school tuition, and partially explaining why many take out massive, burdensome loans. But I assume a similar mindset is to blame for these choices that seem to be severely lacking in foresight.

Seeing Deontae Lawson is returning at Bama. Big difference with programs like them and Ohio State and us is they convince their fringe NFL guys to come back and build their stock.

Tho Porter was probably pushed out. I have no idea what guys like Sam Brown are doing.

I think most of these folks come back, for the $. Also, most of these guys expect to elevate their draft status, by working with coaches that develop their skills. Our problem is everyone on defense actually regress from their previous showings.
 
While 90% off the defense looked lost this, this guy did in particular. When the camera zoomed in after the play he was just wide eyed looking around

He was out of bounds once defending a receiver, who was smartly in bounds, and the receiver caught the ball. Great moment.

Markeith shows a ton of plus traits. He just can't seem to put it all together after three full years in the program. I thought he was going to be a baller. Huge disappointment so far.

But given how bad everyone else has performed, I have to ask if he's a bad eval, or you can blame it on bad development. If Markeith was at another program, would he have played better by now? IMO there's a good chance that he would.

I had sum dat optimism bias when I signed up for UM Law. Indeed. Absolutely relatable. My lack of foresight is still remarkably poor.
