Yeah not making excuses for Mario but he had to do too much when he got hereIn fairness it’s still early for some, but…
High School guys
Skinner - no longer with the team
Moss - no longer with the team
Cooper - success
Kelly - regressed sophomore season, ended up getting hurt and now in jeopardy of falling in the depth chart. Still depth at worst
Graves - no longer with the team
Rogers - no longer with the team
Citizen - Hasn’t contributed due to unfortunate circumstances and rumored to hit the portal
Moten - Depth piece/hasn’t played much
Wes - developed into “starter” (split reps at times) but ups and downs this year, possibly rumored to hit portal if recruited over
J. Brown - relative non-factor and is considered to be potentially portal bound after the upcoming bowl game
M. Williams - depth / hardly plays, might get recruited over
J. Harris - depth, hope is that he’s ready next year
McCoy - depth but looks promising and should be ready to potentially start next season
Horton - minimal contributor and a portal candidate
C. Young - starter and important addition
Portal guys
Ladson - gone and was a bust
Moultrie - gone, non-factor
D. Jackson - transferred to FSU
Mesidor - injury prone, hope is he can stay healthy next season
Agude - gone, meh contributor
Denis - Atrocious
Lichtenstein - relative non-factor
Sagapolu - small and borderline unplayable
Johnson - gone, average contributor
Parrish - some success but battled injuries and is now rumored to hit the portal
He didn’t have a lot of time with the HS guys, but we can’t have this magnitude of busts or underachievers going forward if he’s roster-building, especially when it relates to the blue-chips (Moss, Kelly, Citizen, Skinner, Horton, Wes, Graves, Rogers).
Part of the reason we’re having this massive overhaul right now is because of the lack of impact-players from this class.
Manny had abandoned this recruiting class and his WOATness when it comes to recruiting is well documented
But to your point we also could have done a better job in the portal to make up for it
But those days are way behind us hopefully
