Norvell hit on guys that are going to be top draft picks. Benson, Coleman, Wilson, Verse are all going within the top 2 rounds. Travis plays in an offensive system suited to his strengths (cough cough Mario), and then the other acquisitions like Fiske, Fentrell Cypress, Jaheim Bell, Jeremiah Beyers, Gilber Edmond, Darrell Jackson etc. compliment their best players.
Where are our top 2 round acquisitions? Nine of the 15 Seminoles who received at least honorable mention all-ACC accolades last fall were Norvell transfers. Doesn’t even include Travis since he came under Taggart. Who are we going to have? A kicker? Two interior OL? Kiko maybe?
It’s not even remotely close. So far whiffed on (or haven’t impacted the team like we hoped/were hyped up on evals) on Terry Roberts, Moultrie, Caleb Johnson, Thomas Gore, Lichtenstein, Davonte Brown, Harrell, Ladson, Denis, Sagapolu, etc.
No impact from Kirk, Richard, Campbell, Mesidor can’t stay healthy, McCormack sucks, Agude was bleh, Parrish is average, Allen is decent but not elite, etc.
Hardly any real difference makers. I mean guys, that’s a lot of whiffs/players with no real instant-impact. And people think we’re going to dominate the portal in ‘24 lol.
Our best acquisitions are Colbie Young, DPJ, two interior OL, Kiko and I guess Cloyd. That’s not winning you 9 or 10 games.
