I was using those guys as examples of high school ratings being irrelevant. You're smart, so I fully expect that you understood exactly that. Regardless of your prediction, it wasn't a sure thing he would be good. I was also excited about him. A significant difference was that he had been a P5 starter. Farmer is the only guy added that fits that same description.

With regards to the secondary, I didn't expect them to do anything different. That doesn't change the reality of the situation. The staff doing the best they could doesn't mean the replacements will be as good as or better than the guys we lost, and that has been the discussion. Will we be as good, worse, or better than we would have been had last years starters stayed? A number of people say with certainty that there will be no drop off with high school ratings being the only evidence presented. It seems foolish to have such confidence in light of that evidence and how inconsistent we've seen that is. My stance is that we can't know until they play. Farmer changes the equation a bit because of his stsrting P5 experience but his late addition muddies things a bit since he's showing up late.
