My mind says 100% you have to value your team and not set that example of letting him return. But my heart says let the teammates decide. Let this be the one time they have an example of “the grass isn’t always greener.” Use that as the one time example of allowing the prodigal son to return and use as a case study to others that are pondering leaving. He was a great teammate up until his departure. Unlike others that checked out early and it was obvious. I miss the quickness he provided when hitting the hole. I agree with everything you said. I support CAG for his decision and maybe he did ask the team. Also, maybe if the team sees he wants to come back and was not allowed, it sends the same message. I think over time, the portal will show that the grass isn’t always greener, hopefully Mr. Brown takes note of this and stays his whole time with us.

IIRC Dabo told commits that if they took another visit he would pull their offer. 100% trust Golesh’s decision. GO BULLS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he will. I am sure P5 programs want him bad but he is probably holding out for a better offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Battie back, but this makes me happy. Way to go Coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine you're in our current RB room and you lose your spot on the depth chart to someone who quit the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I blame Goach for denying the return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really did try and come back, I would have been good either way. Have to assume that CAG has a good enough handle on the team to make the right decision. Feel kind of bad for BB because he initially said he wanted to stay here but then was fed some fools gold leading to a bad decision. Just hope he doesn't end up on our schedule at some point ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In CAG I trust. Battie should be able to find a good landing spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
