Pre-signing day thoughts:
1. We need corners badly. Factor in injuries and how many spread teams we play. You need to travel with at least 6. Right now we have 5. Everyone just thinks you can plug a freshmen in, but then all we hear all season from Gary and certain posters is how young we are. This was Randy's biggest failure IMO. There is not a single CB on the roster that he brought in. You cannot say that about any other position. True, most of the guys left we have from him aren't much, but at least they are bodies. Will we even be able to have spring practice with corners?
2. The biggest misconception and unfortunately most frequent post we see on this board is "We need DTs". What you should be posting is "We need the 8 guys we have at DT to earn their scholarship". Look at our depth and compare it to other schools. 8 is plenty to work with, even with injuries. There are just too many DTs that aren't pulling their weight or are too young. Same for DE. We have 8, just need them to play better. So stop thinking the world will end if we don't get a certain DT who is playing games with us. We will be fine without him. Can always bring in JUCOS for 2014 who really want to be here and not act like a girl with recruiting and be scared of competition.
3. Is Cory White still on scholarship? No comment but just really curious considering how delicate our numbers will be with sanctions coming. Same question for David Thompson. Really, I would rather say good luck with baseball and fill his spot at another postion where we need depth. We have plenty of QBs unless a Maryland type disaster hits.
4. Position changes I would consider if I were GM - Perry back to DE, Cain back to OLB, Bunche to OG and Linder to OT just to tinker in the spring and try it out
5. We need a punter badly. Nobody thinks about it until next season when we have a bad punt that goes 20 yards from some walk on kid who can't handle the pressure and it gives up field position to an already suspect defense. I hope Golden can find another Botts, because he is our biggest loss IMO.
6. No other team in the ACC has the offensive power we have, pending the OL stays healthy. Nationwide I can find some better personnel, but there is no reason we cannot win the ACC based on offense alone and slight improvement from the defense. The question is how hungry will this offense be and what is the mindset. That will come down to how Morris leads this group in the spring and summer workouts. He needs to get with the WRs, who will have a new coach, and make sure there is chemistry with all of them considering how many we play. Finding a RB to help out Duke will be key too.
