This is the dude we wanted most

I know that he is the one that I wanted most.

 

[CA Monk]

Our Defensive Line Room is going to need a bigger room.

 

[shu 49]

Grant at corner?? Interesting.

If he has the hips, it can work. If not keep him at safety.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

This definitely, cumulatively, is the defensive line with the best offer sheets they’ve ever landed.

 

[rackman18]

I would have liked to have had this defense against Notre Dame and Clemson two years ago.

 

[Irt4su]

If any of these guys have dartons heart we are in good shape. I think Darton would look like a hobbit next to these guys

Yup, no more running at will against us.

I think Gimli would be a more apt comparison. No disrespect to you or the Shirelings, but Gimli's ferocity in battle mirrors Darton's tenacity on the line.

See if he can coach. lol

 

[FrancoPizza]

The unit has potential. We have to let these guys learn the scheme and gel together before we can determine how good they are.

On paper best since Gregory and Burnett?

 

[swish7]

Hope we can get some offensive lineman, & backups at the skill positions. Seems like glaring weaknesses.

 

[Ozone!]

 

[cayugacuse]

Special thanks to Swish, Dasher and Deisel for keeping a thread of hope alive lol! Welcome to the Cuse Isaiah!

I guess so? Best based on hype and need.

You mean we don't need to see how these players mesh, develop, respond to coaching, and produce in games against teams that have been recruiting like this year after year after year before we declare we are instantly now national championship contenders?

Why sweat the small stuff :0

[hoopsupstate]

Now is when the hard part starts. Strength training, team building and getting guys to work together for the betterment of the team. No “I” stuff, just ”we”. Can these guys pick up the new system and are they coachable. I assume the coaches did their homework and know they have high character, tough guys who want to win. The next eight months will determine if this team can be good.

LOL . Im as excited as anyone but we are adding peices that other teams have. Now the other stuff have to go well. Getting guys to consistently play at a high level, continuity, game planning, adjustments etc..

One thing I expect from this team is execution on offense and defense. Fran, and Erob have been planning for this for a long time. There will be bumps along the way, but not a lot of excuses. All the false starts and personal foul penalties won't be acceptable to these coaches.

Absolutely. Hoping the board, in general, keeps this in perspective. Big ask.

It is great to have Fran and to be moving in this direction. As Fran said in his opening press conference "Winning is hard." There is a ton of work to be done.

Yep. We have enough pieces to work with. But then you look at a team like Miami. Recruit very well, consistently ranked preseason based on that hype, but they just always underperform.

Robinson Coleman and Slayton?
