But I predict that with some overly-positive press and some local cheerleading over the spring/summer, we'll see plenty of people on here that think we're going to steamroll them and make some serious waves in the AAC. Happens every stinkin year regardless of the coach. Lots of fans are already turned, btw. They'll eventually be back as the program gains some momentum, but I'm not even sure that starts next season. I hope it does! Raptor, I'm in agreement. After what we've seen this year and looking at what returns next year (~70% of players NOT recruited by Willie T), what should we expect next year? I'm not saying that next season's likely problems will be all on Taggart, but it's hard to imagine a lot of positive change when the vast majority of returning players apparently do not fit into Taggart's system (per Taggart). There's only so much a player can transform into between now and next August (8 months). With a current recruiting rating (aver stars) at 2.84 (Rivals), it doesn't appear that Taggart is bringing in any better quality players than Holtz. Although, quality for the spread offense is just that, and the same 2.8 something average star rating for players that match the power game will be an advantage for Taggart, but my point about star rating is still valid. If Taggart is this miracle recruiter, then he needs to have recruit classes that average around 3.0 and that have four or five 4-star players and few if any 2-star recruits. We're barely 1 week into the offseason and we already have people expecting a blowout in the first game? When will the bullspen members learn.

We play Maryland, NC State and Wisconsin next year, so our out of conference schedule is pretty **** good. Probably a top 25 out of conference schedule.
