Roster Analysis - What Morris has to work with

[blackoutpony]

I was bored over the weekend, so I put this together while hiding from my family and drinking beer. Below is a full list of what next years roster is (as of now) and the players ranking out of high school along with their FBS/ P5 offers.

A few Notes....
1. All the rankings and offers came from rivals.
2. Graduating players were left off, since I'm trying to show what Morris actually has.
3. I tried to change all the years that they players will be, but may have messed up a few with red shirts and such (I wasn't always watching the garbage time during games and am too lazy to look at the participation sheets)
4. I did not include SMU offers in the total offers number
5. I'm really looking at other offers for the players, because as Stallion has said 2 billion times, it really does show what other coaches think about their ability to play at an FBS level as opposed to rivals or scout guys.
6. Please let me know if there are any mistakes and I'll change it up asap.
7. I can't seem to get the spacing the way I want it, so sorry it's a little hard to read.....

Now for some things that stuck out to me....
1. My goodness this team is devoid of talent. There are 88 players on the roster for next year as of now and 48 of those had no other FBS offers. No other college coach thought 55% of our roster deserved to play FBS football.
2. The top offer getter at each position on offense (Davis, Gresham, Gains, Myers) had a total of 65 offers. The rest of the offense only had 46. WOW.
3. 10 out of 18 Offensive Lineman had no other offers and only Seaver Myers had more than two. No wonder it looks like swiss cheese on Saturdays....
4. 7/14 D Line with no other offers....
5. JR Richardson had the same number of P5 offers as the rest of the DB's combined... Which is 2 total.
6. The tiki QB guru recruits out of high school totaled 3 other offers (no P5) and all 3 were from Burcham.
7. Yenga had 5 offers and the rest of the linebackers combined had 6.

This is going to be a tough rebuild. Coach Morris is going to need some time here, because there really just isn't much to work with at all. It's gonna suck, but we need to be patient.

holy crap that's a lot of zeros

[Rebel10]

Lot of zero offers in there. My goodness.

[ponydawg]

Glad you waited till after he signed to post this..........

What was June and Co thinking?

What does Morris have to work with? Not much.

Look for a possible reconnect with Chad Kelly.

I was bored over the weekend, so I put this together while hiding from my family and drinking beer.

You are a good man.

I was thinking more Chase Vigil, maybe both.

[footballdad]

Wow you wasted a lot of time beating that dead horse!

Morris will be on the recruiting trail TOMORROW to immediately upgrade this roster, and next year's starting 22 will look drastically different than this year. A new scheme, a new attitude, a few key pieces from this upcoming class, and the right QB, will turn this around quickly.

Morris told the team this AM that he expects the program to be a winning program immediately, not 2 or 3 years down the road. He told them they are going to win and have fun doing it if they just buy into him immediately.

Whether SMU fans believe it is realistic or not, this guy is aiming for a .500 season next year, not 1 or 2 or 3 wins.

He also gave everyone a little stare down when he walked in and immediately told all of them to sit upright in their chairs.

This is the right guy at the right time for this program....100%

Just trying to show that this team truly doesn't have the talent anywhere near necessary to compete and that we temper our expectations for the next few years about Coach Morris. I think he's 100% the right guy and I'm fired up about it, but you can only do so much. Could he turn it around real quick? Sure, but it's not likely to happen overnight. Keep you eyes on the prize guys, even if it's a few years down the road.

Also, hopefully this opens the ponyboys, planostang and Jason B's of the worlds eyes a little bit.

As a coach that is what he should tell the team and shoot for but as fans I think the really is 0-2 wins. I agree that he is the right guy for the program.
