Diaco has 14 recruits coming in. None who were recruited by P-5 teams. That's OK in the long run, as, like RE did, these kids will be built up to compete. But, that will take 2-3 years.
We have no incoming OL's yet. If we get only HS OL's it'll take the same 2-3 years to get them up to snuff. We can't wait that long.
Watching ECU clobber UNC yesterday, the announcer mentioned the troubles ECU had with their OL last year.
They solved this with 2 juco OL's. We need to do the same.
We have 2 upcoming games with UMass, and 1 game with Villanova. UMass gave Vandy trouble last week. 'Nova took Syracuse to OT a few weeks ago. With our OL, we just might lose 1 or two of these upcoming games. Should this happen it will set the program back so far that no P-5 conference will look at us.
We need to fix this OL problem. The only way I see this is multiple juco OL's that can play.
If ECU can do this, than so should we. Otherwise, Cinn. UCF, and even ECU (W/O a good hoop program) might beat us out of a P-5 birth.
