Camp departures and team cohesion

Reality of the situation is that Hytchye has been recruited over by taller, more talented cornerbacks and his likelihood of playing time had all but diminished. In both open practices I watched, Hendrix was wearing a red jersey (no contact) and hadn’t participated in scrimmage scenarios. Thinking back, their body language served as a precursor to their departure. Neither appeared on top of their game or “all in.” This happens in college football. Players transfer. Next man up is more than a motto, it’s a reality. And, departing players are to be respected. Especially ones that leave on their own accord.
