Davis will be better with a much better Oline, a better offensive scheme, and bigger and better receivers who get open and catch the ball consistently. No QB would look great otherwise.

True but he'll have to transfer to get that because we're three years away from it.

We are no more than two years away from that list. Maybe one.

We're three years away from that list. We only get to bring in 25 a year they're not all going to be offensive players and the overwhelming majority of what we can bring in will be true freshman.

The base of talent is better than when June arrived. Look at the recruiting rankings. How many games would June have won his first year if he had modified the offense to take advantage of what Willis brought to the table? Davis can fit into the Morris scheme pretty well. We already have Sutton, Gaines, and now the TE commit to block on the outside, and probably at least one player will transition to TE from the defensive side or OL (keep an eye out on Holloway). With maturation on the O Line and add a playmaker at WR and a playmaker at RB, I think we are going to be adequate on offense. Defense is going to be the bigger issue.

Yes defense will be a huge issue, offense likely won't be "adequate" enough to overcome that.
