[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131024575, member: 1112294"] Yet again for a 100 times over Nine of them have been on their way out, while only four are coming in. But that doesn't tell the whole story. Matt Jones and [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/Dontae-Angus-27024']Dontae Angus[/URL][/B]. The former was a starter last year, but the lowest-graded starter of anyone on the offense, per PFF, and he was leaving the program regardless of who the head coach was. The latter has not played a down for the Mountaineers, and had left the team months before, despite not showing up in the portal until January. So we're down to seven, which may seem like it's still a large number, but it's not. First off, did we all forget the previous years? There were a total of fifteen - FIFTEEN - scholarship players that left in 2018. There was no coaching change. There was no turmoil. There was no "academic misconduct." Fifteen - sixteen if you count Jordan Adams, who left and then came back (before leaving again this offseason) - scholarship players just up and left the team, including multiple players who were expected to not only start but make a big impact in 2018. That included defensive linemen [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/Lamonte-McDougle-87977']Lamonte McDougle[/URL][/B] and [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/Adam-Shuler-77185']Adam Shuler[/URL][/B], and wide receiver [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/Reggie-Roberson-38686']Reggie Roberson[/URL][/B]. To say this offseason's attrition has been abnormal or the sign of problems within the program or on the coaching staff is disingenuous.
