The last minute recruits not withstanding, I am not too worried about this program at this time in coach's career. He is a great recruiter which has been documented, and he will definitely have a much easier time next year with the guys he has envisioned playing the position he recruited them for.
Currently our wide recievers are not good enough to create separation, our OL isn't good enough to give any decent QB time to read the play and throw to the right recievers. Remember, they have to check down the recievers to determine which one is open... Right now it's generally none of them. Our OL can't even properly create holes for Shaw to run through.... As I see it, Shaw is the one bright spot on our team making something out of nothing.
Our D has been pretty good with people stepping up each game, but who can blame them for getting tired when they're on the field so much because the offense just can't do anything.
These guys are doing the best they can, but CWT did not recruit them. They are Skip's legacy for us, (no QB, no OL, and No Kickers) I put the blame of this year squarely on Skip knowing that even if Skip had stayed, and we kept the few players that jumped ship, they would not have been as big an impact on the results for us to win any of the past 3 games, nor any of the games left on our schedule.
In college ball, we must remember, that the coaches have to recruit players for the positions that will be vacated at least 2 years in advance.
I think this is one of my bigger posts, but I felt I had to say something with all those who have gone back to the Dark Side...
Lets go to the games, enjoy the beer, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the company we are with who also love the Bulls as much as we do, Look forward to a probable GREAT BB season with the great recruits coming in that sport, and resolve to knowing that when you are at the bottom of the barrel, there is only one way to go....
