Bit hard to blame B Smith for leaving as he'll be WR4 next year again (assuming Colbie, X, George all stay) and we didnt use him enough as is (dawson...). I could see a lot of schools promising him starting WR guaranteed (or at least full time slot role) + good size NIL to jump. That said, kid's own mom said he was lazy & tries to do bare minimum + he made a lot stupid unnecessary penalties, so not exactly the culture fit we need
And while it would obviously be better if he stayed, we have Ray Ray, Robbie Washington and now Carr coming in. Slot / Utility WR room is simply too crowded so not a big loss assuming at least 1 of those 3 is as good as everyone thinks. Frankly if B smith stays, i could see Ray Ray or Robbie looking to portal. Is what it is, every kid who thinks they should be a starter but isnt will try to hit the portal or backchannel for starting spot + NIL
