Ole Miss Igbinosun in the portal

I hope it all works out well for the young man. I have to say that the "respect my decision" crap is getting on my nerves. Teenagers seem to have forgotten that real true respect is always earned. Writing about it does not make it so. I am now getting off my soapbox.

Teenagers didn't forget it; it's just an outdated way of thinking. And it doesn't even make sense in this example.

That said, the "respect my decision" line is just a tired meaningless throwaway. Or maybe a straight troll at this point.
 
Come home and play with your brother.
Wasn’t he down to Ole Miss and Rutgers in last year’s recruitment?

Especially since after this it'll probably be hard to play together in the future, either in the NFL or one or both out of football. Just look at the McCourty twins, they didn't get to reunite on the same team until over a decade later.
 
I'd say their tweeting for a different audience.
IDK, you see a lot of middle-aged/older fans in instance like this tweeting venom at a player who leaves "their" program. Thus, invoking the "respect my decision" in the tweet. In this instance, Ole Miss fans were polite. The replies were overwhelmingly from RU fans encouraging the young man to enroll at Rutgers. Hope he does not read this thread though.
 
He started as a true freshman for Mississippi. He can go anywhere he wants.
Hope he wants to come home to New Jersey.
 
We can max out the 1 million match NIL or continue to complain and ask why can’t we get these type of players to come to Rutgers.
 
Only if he thanks god, his coaches, and teammates for putting him in the position he’s in today.

I always painstakingly wait for a player’s clarification on if he’ll be open to interviews too.

Why don’t these kids just say “Looking forward to my future” or “Excited for what’s ahead”, etc.? It’s always about “don’t question or be mad at me”. Kid, you’re not that important…

There's an entire thread dedicated to him on this forum and another one on the Round Table AND he doesn't even go to this school. So to this fan base, he must be THAT important.

Also, I think we often forget who we are ... A fan ... WE ARE THE ONE'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT! Let him do his thing and perhaps focus our negative energy on improving ourselves

Au contraire!! I will counter that if players are looking for cash handouts, the fans who will be paying their salary...errr, I mean offering money due to their image and likeness become very important players wherever he may go.

Others make them feel really important from family to friends to coaches to fans to media.

Or the degree and relationships don’t matter. It’s all about a bigger stage and more dinero. We preparing to be coaches.
 
Would be great to have him here but he's probably going to the highest bidder.

How about if you don't want feedback don't tweet it out to the world in a forum that encourages responses?
