Ummm well Cronkrite and Barnett worked out well. If you think Sawtelle is solid then I am going to question your football acumen. Sawtelle reminds me of a guy that played for Strong in Texas, Dylan Haynes. Make a play here and there, but cost you big on other occasions. I hope Johnston steps up. Did not say that the Grad had to start, but would probably be good insurance. Who is to say that the grad doesn't come in for the spring and learn the system? I am just not personally sold on Sawtelle and McGee leaving. It's not personal, I am just not sold. I think the only player that you and I have ever agreed on was BB. Mostly everyone else thought BK and CO were adequate. We would have a losing record with those two this year. Any player that transfers from a blue blood would get a serious look at this level. Most of the time they will have size, speed and the benefit of practicing with more elite players.
