Christensen had just as many, if not more, young guys stepping up and contributing year after year. Yet somehow his horrible recruiting is to blame for this mess?
A FEW????
Almost our whole team out there is young recruits!
Pownell-leads the team in tackles in game one!
Epps- teams only int
Wingard- LEADS the team in tackles overall
Hill- leads the team in rushing
TWO STARTING TRUE FRESHMAN OLINE!
ONE STARTING OLINE SOPH who has been starting since 3/4 way through his Frosh year
Granderson- getting significant time on DLine
Kamana- significant defender
Preister- probably our best CB
Makranski- good in open field tackles
Parker, Price, Murphy, Tapscott, Harshman Mayfield have all gotten time and 4 of them have even scored in their careers already.
We're only 4 weeks in and have seen over 21 true frosh or RS frosh playing
The only reason you say they aren't good recruits is because we haven't won yet. But we in the same breath can admit that they are young and undersized.
No...
We have some of our better recruits in a long time.
By the way it wasn't DC's horrid recruiting to blame for this it was his killing off of our Defense five years ago.
Brett Smith
Alvester Alexander
Luke Ruff
Shamiel Gary
Blair Burns
Nick Carlson
Dominic Rufran
Jake Jones
Ghaali Muhammad
And others...
All those guys competed significantly as true freshman when the roster wasn't as young. My point is the current group of young guys look better than they actually are because of who they are surrounded by. 21 freshmen haven't played thus far because they're talented enough to be D1 players, they've suited up because there simply isn't anyone else. They may be in the spotlight now, but we've had plenty of impact freshmen in previous years that I don't see how it makes Bohl be labelled as an amazing recruiter
