Steven most overall. But Thed will be the hardest to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Watson is pretty close to being that too.Everyone else, including Randolph can be replaced or there are guys behind them waiting in the wings that are skilled just need experience and time.

If we just put in scrubs and redshirted the talent, we'd still be looking for our first bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we just put in scrubs and redshirted the talent, we'd still be looking for our first bowl game.yeah, assuming the guys that could have redshirted were significantly better than the veteran guys anyway. i guess they were, im not going to look up stats. they are certainly doing well this year so i'm not complaining. there are some guys this year that are redshirting, so i hope that is a sign of our depth and not of their talent. if their talent is better we could just be assuming that the other guys' experience is better. i was just suggesting that maybe we could have done that last year. anyway, i'm pretty excited about the WRs in years to come. i wish randolph could stay but hopefully someone else emerges...he just seems perfect for punt returns especially.as for winning the big east in 2007...i'm not giving up on this year (heh, yeah...i'm funny). but i seriously think we have a shot within a few years. looking at the rivals ranking for recruits the last few years we arent doing much worse than WVU, UL, pitt, and rutgers. pitt's class last year was pretty impressive, but WVU's was surprisingly bad. UL's only big recruits before last year were bush and brohm (go figure, huh?). I'm sure other people have emerged but i'm just judging on star rankings. With grothe leading the team now I expect some better recruits to come in. we'll see I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
