Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 2005298, member: 485"] Good points. The 2014 class was good on paper, but too many of the higher rated kids never made it here -- indicating that Shafer/SU needed to take academic risks to fill that class. Cordy might be our best DB. The 2015 class had more depth and promise than you suggest, if you look beyond the 75 rating. Conway was our best OL this year, Adams started at OG, and Fredrick & Whitner have contributed in the secondary. That class was hurt by character issues -- Ealey & Sheppard played early at DE. These two would have made a difference in 2016. The yield in Babers' 2016 class looks exceptional. 9 members of that class are in the 2-deep on defense. How they develop, and how the red-shirting OL develop, will be a key to how quickly Babers can produce a winning season. Get that yield back-to-back-to back, and the program is competitive again.
