Serious question in response to a funny post. 

Has that happened yet in the free form transfer portal era?    Surely someone's gone back to their first love?
In basketball it has.  Maryland got a guy back after he played at Georgetown, and Memphis has a kid this year who was a 5* recruit for them, was disappointing, went to 2 other schools over the past 3 years, and then circled back

That can't be the reason.. Zeon Chris had 67 less attempts than Warren and is still on the chart.

Castellanos 36 less.
May be per game or something.  Florida doesn't have anyone that I see.

Texas A&M should see if they can get Haynes King in the transfer portal, he might really be something special if he were in the maroon and white...
He had big hype coming in. As I recall, he got hurt early in the season right after he was named the starter. He played 1-2 games, and wasn’t very good in either one. 
I think this was 2021. Next year he was named the starter again, i think he got hurt early again, but didn’t miss the whole season, but that was a super bad year and literally everyone sucked. Maybe he needed a new set of coaches, and maybe he needed time to mature. Whatever the reason, it just didn’t work out here for him with us. 

BTW, I know you were being facetious.

Meh.
HC Mahomes would bring in more talent based on name recognition.  
Will probably be a low-offense, strong defense good/not great program.

Frost, then Rodriguez.  WTF?
This was a big money donor hire by guys who still have a man crush on Rich Rod.  The word leaking out of Morgantown was they promised a much bigger NIL commitment if their guy was brought in. So, we’ll see. I don’t hate it but don’t love it.  It was clearly fueled by emotion and nostalgia but there are some practical reasons why it has a chance to work.

I’m anxious to see the contract details but the expectation is a relatively cost effective base with lots of incentives. I’ll say this.  I’ll take my chances on Rod at say, $3.5 million a year, over Barry Odom at $6 million a year any day.  It makes for a good story anyway.  It’s a shame it came literally 5 minutes after the Belichick hire was announced.
