Just curious about this. Do you think that BEAMER knew all along that RATTLER was returning? I say that because he didn’t make an offer to any of the qb’s in the portal, some of which are vetter than RATTLER. Also, why are DOTY AND Coltin Gauthier sticking around when they coukd be playing elsewhere? If SELLERS IS ALL THAT, I see him and BAILEY along with RENO being 2,3,and 4. What are your thoughts?
No. I think Rattler was waiting on his NFL evaluation and then he waited to see what his NIL deal was going to be for the 2023 season. As for the others not leaving, I can’t speak for them. Obviously, they like it there. There will be another open transfer period in May so let’s see what happens then.
