Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 4755554, member: 6798"] Petros defense here was terrible. All the efficiency stats and what have you back that up. The offense improved significantly from year one to year two of Gait. Meanwhile the D improvements were minimal at best, with Will Mark often bailing us out from more embarrassing results. Our face off play did nothing to help, but the numbers were terrible with a good fogo in 2022 as well, and we could all point to errors in team defense leading to goals after plenty of games last season. You could say the same for his defenses late in his tenure at Hopkins, the school that fired him for lack of results. And as I said the recruiting he did in the class of 23 and 24 was not some massive boost to how things were previously. Especially on the defensive end. Besides Donny Scott there have been no other guys with a high 4 star or 5 star rating on defense. A similarly rated guy flipped from Syracuse as well (Quentin Killrain). Trey Deere is our best recruit in that year and he has specifically referenced his meeting with gait as a reason for coming aboard. Our best 24 is also on offense. If you have evidence that Petro was the main reason we added Anderson I would love to hear it. If this was Petros best work as a brilliant recruiter then I am not impressed. Even if we did have a couple other high end defensive guys in these next two classes, I still would not mind him leaving since the defense itself was so ugly. We now have a young and promising DC who is ready to prove himself both on the field and as a recruiter. I feel much better about our long term success with Odierna than I would with Petro. Short term recruiting we will see, but the defense on the field next season should be much improved. Get your shots in while it’s 10 days into the new recruiting cycle. [/QUOTE]
