How has recruiting improved. None of these kids have signed yet. It looks like Brohm did a far better job in the portal than Walters has. Plenty to be determined there…but the list of transfer prospects even looking at us is less than impressive. And why…because players can watch tape and know that outside of a few positions we don’t really feature them well on either side of the ball.
I also haven’t been down on Walters for attracting players…I’ve simply said that his scheme to this point has gotten less out of more…and doesn’t give the team any advantages to overcome the talent gap that always has and always will exist between the top of the conference and us.
I’d love for the baseline talent of the program to rise. That said, even if it rises and that talent is poorly utilized…it matters none. We will still be bad.
I’m not sitting here and hoping for bad schedules to win like the rest of you. I’d like to recruit good players and play good schemes so we can beat good teams. None of that happened this year and with the pressure this D scheme puts on individuals, I’m not hopeful for improvement next year.
