Red has/is building a roster without any chaff. Last year, we had erratic and unproductive Benny, offensive ‘liabilities’ in Taylor and McLeod, and erratic Copeland. Those spots have been replaced with guys who are at minimum ‘solid’ and who were responsible for offensive production at their former schools.

We may not have ‘knocked anything out of the park’ with any of the individual signings, but in aggregate, we seem to have eliminated all the holes (except backup C, as I can’t leap over the potential for recurring injuries for McLeod). And if the psychology is now improved, we should have significant improvement, at least on a consistency basis. I think there is balance, but Red will have to balance egos and expectations with that number of players who probably all think they deserve as much or more than the next guy in the lineup. There may not be much or any delineation between starters and reserves, which might eventually become difficult to manage.

I went into this off season thinking I would be much less interested and engaged in next season because of the short term mercenaryness of it all, but Donnie and Moore somewhat alleviate that, and I’m interested to see how it all melds together over the course of ~30 games.
