"I know what you are going to say next. You’re going to point to the guys I coached in high school who have done the transfer portal. Antonio Doyle from Texas A&M. Jack Buford from Mizzou. D’Vion Harris and Tank Brown from Minnesota. My retort to that is I knew those guys were transferring, but I begged them not to. I tried to get them to stay, or do what they needed to do to be able to stay. We had hours and hours, days and days, weeks and weeks of conversations, dialogue, and talks of accountability. Ultimately they are men and they made a decision. It may work out, and it may not, but they made a decision — the same one you are facing now. My job is to help them see it through a lens other than emotion. I am trying to help you do the same."
