Ralen Goforth sells the couch

I thought he did too. Turns out he only played 4 games in 2019, then the COVID year, so he’s only played three years that count.

What the fuck? Why is our whole team leaving, including guys who have no chance in the NFL?
-
I have the least insider knowledge of any college football fan, but what does it say that all these key guys with eligibility left aren't choosing to stick around?
-
Probably that they've already been in school for 5 years, aren't getting any NIL money and are ready to move on with their lives.sinceredawg said:I have the least insider knowledge of any college football fan, but what does it say that all these key guys with eligibility left aren't choosing to stick around?

"entering the NFL draft"
WTF???
why not come back, even shit baseline NIL deals pay better than a HS coach or Avis sales associate with a degree in Historical Humanities of Anthropology
I dont get this AT ALL

He was 2nd string with Bruener, played plenty this year, and set to get starter mins next yearhouseofpain247 said:

For all we know at this point we are getting another stud LB in the portal besides the Vanderbilt one we already gotHouhusky said:

Are you sure he was set for starter minutes? I haven't seen anyone presume he'd start over Bruener next year. I barely noticed Goforth when he was on the field. He said he's going to the NFL which tells me he needs money and he wasn't getting any NIL here. Not sure transfer portal second string linebackers are in high demand for NIL payments.Houhusky said:

Is there anyone else so far besides Goforth who wasn't already expected to declare? Anyways, we'd be in trouble if he was still starting at LB next year. We need some tremendous upgrades at that spot.EsophagealFeces said:What the fuck? Why is our whole team leaving, including guys who have no chance in the NFL?

The LB room is literally Him, Tupatala, Bruener and a transfer from Vandy next year... There is no reason why he wouldnt get an actual chance at starter next yearhouseofpain247 said:

He isn't a key player, you barely notice him, he has no chance at starting over Tupatala so him declaring for the NFL is going to make him money.... how....?
UWs baseline NIL, plus everything for free at school including housing is almost certainly more than he would earn anywhere else. -
Lol, not everyone wants to spend six fucking years in college. Especially when there's little to no NIL money earmarked for you.Houhusky said:"entering the NFL draft"

Kalepo, Tuitele, and Bandes are all rumored to be leaving eligibility on the table. Our depth on D is in trouble unless we start pulling some rabbits asapGreenRiverGatorz said:

I don't think the NFL will make him money, but he does. I think he'll be undrafted.Houhusky said:

ANd yeah, our LB room kinda sucks. That's why I'm not sad or mad about him leaving. We also have Drew Fowler and Deven Bryant and the other freshman kid. I'd rather roll with some young talent than trot out a 6th year guy that could barely get on the field. -
Everyone came back for the natty run
Next men up -
I’m going to be so fucking happen once all these COVID bullshit years are gone. It’s too confusing.

Do we have a culture problem?sinceredawg said:I have the least insider knowledge of any college football fan, but what does it say that all these key guys with eligibility left aren't choosing to stick around?

Fuck if I know. But I don't see how this supports the narrative that everyone loves it here.DoogWhisperer said:

In fairness, next year's going to be something of a rebuildload. So not crazy to opt out if you've only got one year left to play. -
To be fair, some of these guys haven't even officially moved on. Just cryptic tweets. Still could be time to turn it aroundsinceredawg said:

Had no idea that goforth had eligibility left. I really do understand that these kids are probably burnt out with college and looking to move on. They really don't know how good they have it though before they have to be an adult and enter the workforce. If you can get paid in college to play football, or free school take it as long as you can.
Kalepo is the one I think is really messing up. He could likely get some decent cash for staying and play his way into being drafted.
Tuitele I think may be more related to overall health, but we better go buy a DT now as it looks bleak in there. -
WDWHA
Seriously, i thought he was going to be a difference maker this year, although he did add some depth. Drew Fowler is better, watch him on special teams, dude has a nose for the ball, him and Bruener. We need Lester Towns, Ink Aleaga 2.0 along with these guys. DeBoner will get who he wants -
Sorry, bud.
How you going to make an nfl roster while you weren’t getting starters minutes on this drek D. -
I think "entering the draft" here is just a weird way of saying "ran out of eligiblity". Many such cases.
-
I was always 100% sure he had no eligibility left but yeah definitely looks like he could petition to not count 2019 or 20 as like a redshirt. For him, I would guess if he could somehow make a practice squad he'll get more money than he would from a UW NIL (or anywhere else), which I would be shocked if it was even $50k. A lot of these guys would be 24 if they came back.
Kalepo is the weird one to me if he is in fact gone. He'd be a guaranteed starter, I don't think has injury issues, and could do himself very well with a full year as a starter as a guy that people are looking at as a potential all conference guy. -
I know Kalepo's mom died his freshman year. Don't know that I've seen pictures/mentions of his dad on social media. If Kalepo has younger siblings, I could see him leaving to take care of them.WoolleyDoog said:I was always 100% sure he had no eligibility left but yeah definitely looks like he could petition to not count 2019 or 20 as like a redshirt.

To add to that, if he was to play RT this year and have a good year, he’d guarantee a NFL career. The NFL loves OL with versatility. He could play G, T, or bag holder.WoolleyDoog said:
