I categorically disagree.

we win the bowl game top 5 recruiting top 20 in ap to start the season.

we are in great shape.
 
Yep because we have immediate impact players at RB, DT, OL, DE, & WR comin in with this class as well as immediate adequate depth additions at LB, OL, & DB. Plus some of the talented current freshman that have gotten burn on the D like Burns and Elder. Not to mention the Redshirted talent like Olsen, Odogwu, ect. O-Line is stacked!!

Im concerned about our depth at D tackle and linebacker. Aside from that, we will have our strongest roster in many years.

First of all that's quite an if on the bowl game.

Second I love this class but you can never count on multiple impact freshmen. Except for Coley even guys like Burns, Muhammed made minor impacts on the team.

Plus, the biggest weaknesses. Interior D linemen take time to develop. This class also doesn't fully address our weakness at LB.
 
Schedule doesn't matter as long as D'onofrio is still leading our defense. That defense cost us 2 games this season with the worst schedule ever.

We have guys that were coveted coming out, but they're not being developed (not on D'onofrio alone) and they're not being put in the best position to succeed.
 
If we get good QB play, offense is ridiculously loaded. Duke AND Coley? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

And there are plenty of weapons and depth elsewhere.

Offense will be good with even adequate QB play, and I'm confident Olsen or Williams can at least provide that.

Defensively, we have to wait and see. A lot of questions need to be answered. I expect us to be better, but I don't think we make a huge leap.

Overall we'll be better.

You don't think the O line will take a step back?

You think our starting DT's will be a significant upgrade? What about our Lbs with the loss of Perryman.

I think we have young talent but our roster is also overloaded in certain areas and weak in others.

For all the strength we have at WR & DB

We lack depth at RB, DL & LB

We lack stud playmakers at interior D line and LB.

Finally, we will be breaking in a new QB. We can't expect a Rapeis Winston like freshman performance.

I am worried that Duke will show signs of the injury for the first part of last year. Look at Malcolm Lewis's slow healing.

Dukes injury not nearly as bad.

So you think either Olsen or Williams will be a upgrade over morris
 
Grace will be stronger. Figs and mccord gained a ton of experience this year at olb. if kirby can get it too click, he is a way better athlete than gaines. our problem is defensive tackle but you forgot pierre. aqm will also be stronger. Plus, juwon young is coming in this month and will help on defense probably.
 
Or, it could turn out to be beautiful. New season, and new seasons bring hope and surprises. If we knew for certain how the season would unfold it would take most of the fun and excitement out of it. Que Alabama-Auburn or Miami-Florida games this year. Keep the faith and Go Canes!

Malcolm DISPLACED his ankle...Duke broke it. Malcolm needed to reconstruct his ankle...Duke can just let his injury heal

Its won't take 7 years to figure what Golden is made of. If by 2015 he is underachieving, the excuses will run out and he will be fired, simple as that.

But I'll say that 9+ wins and winning the Coastal next year should be the minimum expectation. Anything less is a failure.

That's what people said last year about THIS year.
