You can't blame June Jones. He is using antiquated technology so everything takes much longer! (Insert overhead projector anecdote)

Rumor has it the class is full, because there's only 14 or 15 seniors graduating.

JJ normally goes over the graduation amount. I know the NCAA has 25 person limit now. I would expect 1 or 2 more commits unless JJ is not coming back or something

Of course the other way of looking at it is that we are only graduating 14-15 guys so next year we should have a more experienced team. The OLine for sure looks like next year could be good. Of course they really need to get their £€#% together like they did at the end of the Rutgers game and let GG spread some people.

I'm gutted at this season so far but I think we have potential.

Larry Brown showed how to solve that problem. We are allowed 25 new signees/85 max. Recruit the 25 and may the best of the 85 win.

No. You still need Larry brown. His staff are doing a wonderful job, but without him to sell we don't have near this success.

Not true. You don't need a Larry Brown to have a good staff. That is such a cop-out. Having a LB definitely helps but suggesting that is the only way to assemble a great staff is ridiculous. It takes hungry coaches will to work their arse off which is nonexistent on this football staff.

And let me be clear, you're right that we're getting 5-star talent partially because of LB's name but it is incorrect to suggest we need a big name like that recruit successfully in football. An aggressive staff in football could and should be landing 3-star and even a few 4-star talent - see Klemm.
