Message: [QUOTE="vegasnick, post: 5317577, member: 9983"] What does this answer have to do with what I asked you? You talk circles just to try and make a point that might stick and make yourself sound like you actually know what you're talking about. You persistently tried to argue and continue to, that the only way to continue success is by bringing in similar talent to last year via the portal. Then you incorrectly stated that this year's recruiting class was not comparable to last years and much of the same as the past 20 years, WRONG AGAIN! Now today's claim is [B]"Not to mention it’s a fan discussion board. Until he produces back to back top 25 seasons its ok to question if going away from a formula that worked last season with a nice mix of high end transfers and HS recruiting will get us similar results next season."[/B] How many transfers are we replacing from last year who contributed? The answer is 5, McCord/Meeks/Savion/Lewis/Diggs/. We all know McCord is irreplaceable and whoever wins the job will have to be a work in project, but with Nixon and the right system it very well could work out just fine. Savion's replacement is already on Campus, likely Wolabaugh and Spoon (unless one moves to guard for Betrand). Meeks had a great season, not taking anything from him, the WR room is deep enough to replace his production. Diggs will likely be replaced by David O and KJE, now is that an equivalent replacement, its too soon to tell. I will tell you that ACC Honorable mention was a let down for Diggs and his stats did not jump off the chart and his tackling was subpar most of the time. He did make great plays but the consistency was not there! Lewis is the one we are still unsure on who is replacing him. That might be one portal addition we bring in, however Fran LOVES the guys he brought in over the last 2 recruiting cycles and may feel confident replacing him from within. The other studs are players that had lower recruiting grades that developed over their career that Fran inherited from Dino. The guys Fran has to choose from that are his recruits are ranked higher and have been in his system from day 1. Now do you see why he is developing from within? [/QUOTE]
