It should be more defense oriented, that's where we've needed help the last two years.

Yup. Offense will have plenty of experience returning. Looks good so far, but I still don't expect a big improvement over next year. Finishing .500 would be a shock to me.

Well, you generally can't expect true freshmen to contribute much no matter who you are.

Ah, those were the days, but they're pretty well over now....

No, I'd love nothing more than to point out how much this recruiting class is going to help in the areas we need it, I just can't.

Hey my Dad wrote Lay’s a letter and told him he got a burnt chip in his bag. They drove out a bunch of new product to him at his remote Florida home!
:lol:

Did you watch the video on the # 5 center?

How do you it's not going to help areas where we need it?

That's because I ommitted a word.

It should have read,

How do you know this class won't help in areas that we need? But then how do I know will help in areas we need.

You and I and everybody on this board know that this is such a crapshoot part of athletics. And a higher pecentage of your evaluations and projections pan out.

It's interesting when you randomly look at any team's class from several years ago how many hit and how many missed. If you look at ours, you just :roll: over what came through here.

Got a little time on you're hands? Who cares if it's here, or there?

Our biggest problem is DL and LB. We don't have very many recruits there. Therefore, this class doesn't appear to at this point to meet our most serious needs.

Jt's argument is solid even to a sunshiner like me.

What about the grey shirts that are coming off this semester? I do know that one of them was LB Robert Parker from Humble. He was a fairly touted prospect.

I can't remember who else grey shirted.
