Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 5451491, member: 2766"] Having guys on scholarships and having players are 2 different things. I only see 1bonafide RB who has a chance to be great, 1 coming off a serious injury , and then a whole lot of question marks. I think Willis can be a star this year, but if he gets hurt we’re in trouble at the position. I don’t know how you can ever not have 3 ready to contribute RB’s. It’s the easiest position to recruit. Terrible to hear about King Joseph. Was really hoping for a breakout year. This is typically the year guys who are going to be players make their move. Who knows if we ever see him again. Will be a shame, but another year of not producing and he’s already a junior. Between him and Barnes both are big recruiting hauls are now no longer at school. Defense seems to have a glaring hole at LB, another position that is easy to recruit? Duce, Grant, Buxton, Samuels seem locked in at 4 of the 5 DB positions. We have a good DL rotation but nobody that jumps off the page as someone who can get to the QB. Not to harp on it but was really hoping KJE would make that move. Defense seems solid and deeper than usual, just no names that pop off the page like last year with Barron, Wax, Diggs, etc On paper the OL seems the strong point on offense, which is strange thing to say. QB, if we’re being honest is hopeful, but certainly not a give in. Willis can be a star at RB but little else behind him. WR looks good. JRS needs to step up and be the next 1,000 yard WR assuming the QB can get him the ball. Gill is a nice complement, but we really need someone like Ross come into his own and make a name for himself. Otherwise, there are some serviceable names, but i don’t see anyone that is going to change games. Had similar hopes for Tremble taking a huge sophomore leap at TE as i did for KJE, Ross, and Willis. Sounds like Tremble is leaning more towards the former than latter, which is disappointing. We need another receiver you can count on. The rest of the TE’s are blockers. Offense can win with a workhorse like Willis and a vastly improved OL. I think we’ll see the exact opposite as last year where we focus on the run and controlling the ball. That would make it easier for Angeli and take pressure off the receivers. I’m just worried about running Yasin into the ground. Defense should hold its on. The schedule doesn’t help breaking in so many question marks and the talent level we’ll face will be better than ours. We can still win any game on culture and grit alone. Really looking forward to a full year plus worth of DART. Sometimes having a better culture is just as good as having better athletes. The season will be interesting. Can go either way or right down the middle. I won’t be surprised at anything. [/QUOTE]
