As I said in another thread last week, JuCos and grad transfers will be paramount to this defense for the next couple years while Crocker recruits the talent he needs. One decent safety, one decent DB, and one decent DE and things can look a lot different. Think like we still had Meyers, Obi, and Jhavon on the squadI'm worried Randy's class from last year doesn't have the defensive players either. And this year as well.
There are no defensive recruits from the Crocker era you can get excited about making a difference other than maybe Eli Thomas and Dylan Harris.
We are playing the kids and the kids lack ability - it's not just a coaching thing.
