On D, most guys were done. If we lose Chadwick or Diomonde, they are a handful of those who could return.
On O, the RBs and our tackles are scheduled to return. So who is he taking?
If you look at RE's recruits- they did better as they got older (like most recruits). He wasn't here for a lot of these guys last few years, but his last years seniors were his guys. Won a bowl game with them. It's Jimmie and Joe's not X and O's.
The game had passed RE by the time he came...
I can think of some really good players that came because of RE that helped. 3 in the NFL in Lundt, Van Demark and Haynes to start. Nate Carter too. Diaco cared about height and nothing else when it came to recruiting.
Smiley was to be a big part of it and either he was hurt or played hurt. Losing Vincent Carroll-Jackson has hurt at NG. Trent Jones not playing most of the season also hurt. Our depth guys were a huge drop off.
The D was gassed by the middle of the 3rd qtr. 80 degrees, down a few guys and then they looked shellshocked. No idea what some of our DR'S were doing in the 4th qtr. Safeties can't let guys get behind them.
That said, the Offense was even better than that putrid defense. We have 1 more...
So, they think they will get High School recruits and build them up. Let's say they attract some good high school players, how many will they retain if a bigger NIL offer comes in? Culture can only hold up so long. Even Mora, who has a great culture, loses guys to the portal.
The frustration with the D was in part the 2 to 3 yards after a hit the AFA players got consistently. This was the ultimate bend don't break D on display.
