I agree he's whiffing there and if you want to be a top tier program you have to land two elites at DT a cycle.

That's a **** near impossible standard if you're talking about truly elite. There are only about 4 or 5 of those a year and you're battling the likes of Bama, OSU, Ga for all of them.

If we get 1 elite plus a developmental type (with upside), over time we'll be fine. We'll just have to supplement through the portal until we build depth. It's the lack of depth that's increasing anxiety levels over this DT class.

That or you gotta hit in the portal.

At this point, it's not an if, it's a gotta be. I don't care how good you are as a elite senior, you're not ready your first year physically. Not at DT. So we'll have to find some upper classmen to fill some of those spots for at least two years.

I believe it as well but making definitive statements under the guise of optimism is different. We should beat Temple and GT by a minimum of 20 points = optimism. Temple and GT will be down 20 points by halftime= not optimism. The board skipped over optimism and went full ****y.

I guess at least myself personally I feel cookies about beating the teams we're supposed to beat but I know we have a handful of tough games left so I'll let it all play out.

We’ve looked infinitely better during the vast majority of the 3 games we’ve played than we did during any point of the 12 we played last year.

It’s only 3 games (and really only 2 games). Got a long way to go.

Both things can be and are true.

Exactly. Three games is all we have. That said Hunte has been a nice surprise so far.

I was just using that as an example I agree we should be 5-0. The call outs and people pretending we've accomplished anything are where it gets cringe for me.

Taylor gets some of the blame but this isn't solely a 2024 issue. We struggled in 2023 as well and reinforcements were brought in. I certainly won't argue its 100% on Joe but until I see results, I dont wanna hear how great a job he's doing.

If that's your argument! Then this problem was way before joe got here, just like wr, cb,s,ol! Jus blame the whole staff before Mario got here!

Through 3 games last year that wasn't the conversation. We have victory laps and people conceeding they were wrong when we havent played a snap of ACC football. Are you 100% certain we dont **** the bed? 1 week at a time is all I can handle after 20 years. Deen has played maybe 25 snaps half of which vs OhMiami and people are annoiting him. I remember the first 3 games of Darrell Jackson it wasn't the same as the last 9 games.

It’s why I lost my voice celebrating the A&M game

No idea what the future holds but I was gonna savor every second of that game knowing you gotta turn the page immediately
