I don’t know when or why our recruiting has gone so downhill. The teams from 2011-2015 had much more top end talent. While the results never matched our recent ones because of BVG and Rees at qb, those teams could have easily done more with the right coaches.
Misses
CB- unacceptable… Lewis started as a freshman? He should be at Purdue or Bowling Green and not sure he’d be starting there. It’s not pretty behind him either. Always been an issue under Kelly though.
LB- this group is just not very athletic. We had guys like Smith, Morgan, Coney… these guys would never sniff the field on those teams.
WR- Austin is the big shot? He can’t catch the ball or create separation, Lenzy isn’t either. No one on this team is in Fullers league, I’d argue TJ Jones and Daniels are better than any of these receivers. Heck even Robinson caught everything.
OL- either they missed on guys or Quinn is completely inept at developing them. Probably a bit of both but I’d lean more towards Quinn based on the offers.
QB- Do I need to say more? A development issue but also a recruiting issue. The guys who transferred out never succeeded either.
