How are we going to recruit better players to this? We are looking at 1-3 win season, + no NIL (portal is about $ for quality dudes), last season the recruiting pitch was about a new era, and I hate to say it but it doesn't look promising. Hoping we can hit on player evaluation & get some FCS gems with experience...

So there is a talent issue but they shouldn't add better, more ready talent this offseason?

Nah. We are past things "not going our way."

This team is just severely lacking in the talent department. There's a reason Omari Kelly was in the portal and ended up at a school like MT. And that reason is very clearly lacking reliable hands. You can have all the speed and shiftyness in the world but if you can't catch the ball reliably you are not going to play for a good program.

All those back 7 guys you are lambasting are from the portal.....

You think getting more of them is the answer?

HORRIBLE drop by Omari who was wide open. Now the team has to punt. Literally nothing going this team's way

Eastern time zone here so I’m checking out.

But this was disappointing. We’re going to need a lot more talent.

The defensive back 7 is just really bad, it’s almost comical. Bad angles, bad tackling, bad communication, bad coverage, can’t defeat a block, and just flat out bad play. Again; no shame in getting beat by Ole Miss and the like, but this was rough.

Got to hit the portal hard.

They shoot the wrong gap every time. Starting to wonder if they just don't like contact
