You’re comparing apples to oranges. Sark’s situation is akin to a player declaring early for the NFL draft. Even then, Sark finished his season whereas someone like Ossai (don’t blame him) sat out the bowl game.
Became quite familiar with the Holgerson era WVU program. Basically would move coaches to Florida for months at a time to recruit.

I get it, I get it. I just feel like we hold these kids to a higher standard than they probably deserve. I guess I’m seeing it in the scenario of me not liking my job and a friend asks me if he should take a job offer there.

Moral of the story, I agree with you depending on the scope of the conversation.
