The DL has been addressed. I'm impressed overall. Still bear in mind being dominant at NIU or Coastal Carolina isn't the same as the SEC but I think they will be a big improvement over last year plus a lot of depth. Depth is a big deal too. We can keep them fresh

you need to pay attention to NFL rosters a lot of starters are from lower end schools.

No offense, but I think that’s baloney.


Edit: I guess “a lot of starters” does leave a lot of room for interpretation.

Roster size 85 or 105 ? Either way. 45-50 new players mean something. I ain’t sure what it means but… it means something dammit. Better? Worse? I do not know but this different for everybody!

This is a good get. A lot of teams have been able to turn it around with big portal hauls. Unfortunately, even vastly improving tthe roster will likely see us struggling to reach 5-6 wins. I wish our schedule wasn't so brutal again next year.

We are picking up seven DL from the portal, one DL from JUCO and two DL from High School. We will see.

Dumb comment. Yes there are quite a few guys in the NFL from small schools. What I said is accurate and it's ridiculous to argue the point. I do think Whitson is a great get. So is the dude from NIU. Still two different levels of competition. I hope they transition but they will be going against much better guards and tackles than they were last year

I stopped counting at 337 players in the NFL from the G5 level. I don’t know how many are starters, but that’s a lot of players by any metric.

If he is so special why did he only play in 4 games for a G5 program?
