Bedwetting about the state of our defense is special. RMT was great, but this was an expected departure before the year even started, and he missed most of our key wins.
The key players to watch were Kip and Wein, and we already locked down Wein. Would love for Kip to return, but I just can't see him putting more on film than he already has. If we really need him, we might be able to put together the money like we did for Stuts, as true LBs just don't have massive earning potential in the NFL like they used. But we also got all-conference level production from a walk-on level talent that had been sparingly used in several years here.
Guillory would be a tough loss, but panicking about him selling a pair of headphones feels like an overreaction.
We will be turning away elite talent in the portal this offseason. If BV truly wants a guy, there isn't a player in the country that will say no. The concerns will be entirely on the other side of the ball.
