Quote from: Biggie Clausen on February 19, 2026, 10:12:39 PMYep.  We have people saying, "Sean Jones is 100% gone."  Is he?  Is even one of Tre, Caedin, or Josh Clark gone?  I'll believe it when I see it.

Unless someone says they want more playing time, and less money.  They're not leaving.

Why would he!?!  # relationships

Quote from: BM1090 on February 19, 2026, 10:02:20 PMI don't think they'll pay for top transfers. But I do think they'll pay for good transfers and pay them the same as an established player would get at MU

I hope they do too. It's just that considering the talent on this team, good transfers would be making top 5 money here if we only got two. It's a big change in philosophy is all.

And while I'm not fully on board with Rocky's comment about only replacing Zaide, I do think there are some assumptions being made about how many changes will happen. Zaide chose to leave, and it seems like Sean is planning to as well. Those read like player choices. I don't think skepticism about the staff being willing to tell Tre and Caedin that it's time to go are unwarranted. Different situations.

History shows this, no?

Shaka has told us what is going to happen.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on February 19, 2026, 10:00:53 PMHere's to hoping! Not saying he won't change, just that the concern isn't unjustified.

Quote from: BM1090 on February 19, 2026, 09:53:57 PMGuys, they really wouldn't be going public with this unless they've officially reconsidered their position.

They wouldn't reconsider the transfer portal if they weren't reconsidering the pay and everything surrounding it.

Quote from: CreightonWarrior on February 19, 2026, 09:55:03 PMthe funny thing is she's a "comeback story" at the age of 20. Retired after 2022. A couple years later decided she wasn't done. Her energy was fun to watch.

Her dead left China after being oppressed. They tried to recruit back but they said no. Makes her gold that much better.

She's impossible not to like or root for.  And she was so relaxed while simultaneously dropping the 🔨.

Go ahead...
