There are always positive and negatives. We are a young team, with new coaches. Those two things invariably lead to mistakes happening. THe positive, is that there is a TON of room to grow and improve. Spring practice will be over this weekend. THe players I don't think return to organized team functions until end of June or so I think - when the rookies show up. Upperclassmen will be in a little later - that's usually how it works. Then summer sessions into fall camp.
How those guys have come together in the past few weeks, and how they remain together and push each other to get physically and mentally better over the next few weeks will go a long way to determining if we've got a team that can face adversity, overcome it, and win come fall.
I hope they have really taken everything that's been fed them over the past few weeks to heart and can use it. Diaco, by what I can tell, has assembled a coaching staff that is actually of the modern era and can relate to how kids motivate and become a team.
I guess what I'm saying, is that the way that youth and newness problem gets turned into a positive that helps us win games in the fall - happens now in the next several weeks up to fall camp, when the players are on their own. I guarantee that the installs for offensive, defensive, and kicking game football that we will use have been given to them. It's up to them to run, lift, and practice it.
