If we can retain Pohto, Walton, Pierre and Rogers, we have some talent continuity and I can maintain some interest. A new batch of players and I probably will stop caring.

I will support this program even if we end up in D2.
Doesn’t mean I won’t be ****ing pissed at the people in charge and demand accountability from those in power. No sunshine pumping here.
Doesn’t make me a bandwagon fan.Brummett throws, STRUCK HIM OUT! THE SHOCKERS ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! AN UNBELIEVABLE STORY!

Walton. He's not going to have trouble moving to a P5 that's a virtual lock to get into the tourney and has great NIL.
Pierre. If he thinks he can land with a winning program, he's gone. Oddly enough, the coaches allowing him to be incredibly undisciplined may make him unattractive to schools he may perceive to be an improvement over WSU.
Rogers. He's here. He already missed a year and knew he might when he came here. He might look at the roster and realize that next year is a disaster and bail, even though he might lose a year of eligibility.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

Of note, both Rogers and Pierre have used their freebie transfer. Now given our stance on the run off waiver .. it might not matter. Pohto obviously still has a free transfer. I'm not 100% sure on Walton. Since he went to JUCO I don't think that used his free transfer. It's his 3rd year in college so I don't see him being a grad transfer either.
Besides that, if Council got a run off waiver, then EVERYBODY gets a run off waiver.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

I could be wrong but wasn't Walton at Georgia at one time? Maybe going from their to Juco didn't use the freebie?Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

Even though Walton is most likely "auditioning" for his next college destination...I gotta give him credit for not hogging the ball and throwing up a gazillion shots. I mean if he wanted to...he could absolutely go full TE. Who knows...maybe that's what he should doFINAL FOURS:
