g-robs guys? Provo? Lemon? Chew? Bailey? Carter last year. Nassib? West fell in our laps or he doesn't come here. The LB's last year.
Even scarier - what happens when multiple young guys leave after this year because they are tired of the whole situation? Who wants to play when it isn't fun? That ESPN inside access show that featured SU was the worst of that series. No other program came across as so dull and lifeless. I expect multiple defections this year that will probably include a few guys that many people had high hopes for.

Because how many guys left when they were winning 1 or 2 games the previous 4 years.....the sky is falling we are not in the National Championship game all ready...we won 7 games (reg season) last year 2 against 1AA teams...thi year if they pull out Pitt they have 6 1 against 1AA...might have been better if we only won 5 games last year, I think people thought we were further than we are.Even scarier - what happens when multiple young guys leave after this year because they are tired of the whole situation?

this has nothing to do with last year.
When you are 5-2 playing in the worst BCS conference and maybe the worst DIV IA conference in the country, finishing 5-7 or 6-6 at best is NOT acceptable. It's just not when you were 5-2!
If you have inferior talent to all other teams in the conference, & you can still get at least 5 wins in a season, that is something to build on...
.
we don't. We have very little speed. No backs that can break loose. Look at the star ratings coming out of high school. Those tems, except UConn, have out recruited us.
i have posted many times doug needs to lighten up. the cleanup was called for , but time to relax that strategy and modify his game plan. he needs to relax a little---as his on edge demeanor translates to the team and coaches. bad atmosphere. ---you almost get the feeling there is no sense of humor, or fun. hope he is not to rigid to adjust somewhatIts not about kids wanting to "party over work"...
When doug first got here, he ruled with an iron fist in order to instill some discipline into the program. Yeah, we lost some kids, but Doug weeded out the "non-hackers" from the real players. Three years later, Doug still chooses to rule with the same iron fist.
These kids have busted their collective asses for Doug over the past few years. At some point, you need to loosen the reins a little bit or else your message will simply get tuned out.
This is where we disagree though. I believe (as do many others) SU has equal or better talent than USF, UCONN, Rutgers...etc.
Rutgers may have the best talent in the BE. SU certainly doesn't.

If there is indeed a lack of leadership from the upperclassmen this year, it'll shake out soon enough. The true frosh this year were all captains on their HS teams, and many will be pressed into service early. I expect the team will be better managed internally going forward.The kids who are currently freshman and sophomores become juniors and seniors. The thought is some take the next step and become leaders or even stars.
I agree with this, I believe the team is lacking leadership it recei8ved from guys like Hogue, Smith and Carter last year, hopefully someone takes the reigns for Pitt and if they make a bowl, and for next seasonIf there is indeed a lack of leadership from the upperclassmen this year, it'll shake out soon enough.

I totally disagree with that
