They would bother you a lot less if you accepted the fact that said player didn’t want to be a pirate.
Doesn't bother me less at all. IMO the 6 things I mentioned are problems with our overall approach and strategy towards roster building, negotiations with agents and how we allocate resources.

Samuel didn't want to leave
Richmond didn't want to leave
Davis didn't want to leave

But they all got offers we couldn't match.

Coleman wanted to leave for a very long time. By midseason he was hunting on offense and playing no defense. Not sure why so many wanted him back.

I understand the optics of losing the above players. And in 3 of the 4 cases I agree. But not last year.

Moving forward we are in far better NIL shape. But still no more than mid Big East.
Dan, weren't you reporting as late as February that it looked like he might be back?

I don't remember the exact timeline but during the season he was telling people he was returning. That was as accurate as what Gibbs was telling SHU people when he was still on campus. Eventually in hindsight the truth came out.

It's interesting that this board's assessment of Coleman has dropped considerably after Ok. State measured him at 6-3. He was a much better player here when he was anywhere between 6-5 and 6-7.

Hoping our staff is more forward looking and is creating a great environment for our current roster so we can turn things around and start keeping our talent. Fingers crossed!
