RB Donovan Dey FR ( 3* 247, Kent State, Murray State offers)

K Carson Wilt GRAD

P Morgan Smith RSJR

QB Caron Tyler RSSO

Dey was likely the highest touted FR RB we had. Staff preferred Rumoro. Caron leaves with a .500 record. Twitter film was a very fun watch. Kid was bought in. Sad to see him go. .500 Valpo QB

Unfortunately the Tyler news was inevitable. Still it is disappointing. The 2 kickers never played and our kicking was not great.

Not directly related but Givens is back in the portal after a year stop over at Northern Illinois. NIU was not good this year. He caught 12 passes in 12 games.

We're starting to see this in the business world, as well.  Kids no longer view college or employment opportunities more than a 1 year stopgap to something else

Something that has been occurring my entire adult life. When I first joined the workforce on Wall St in 1980 at the time it was reasonably expected that you would stay where you started your entire working career (my father in law did this). As time went on it eventually became unusual for someone to stick around more than 5 years or so. Oddly, my resume in the corporate world had me last almost exactly 10 years at 3 different firms...one of them to the day...before moving to a self employed position which has lasted longer than any of those.
