I am listening to the Podcast and after reading your answers as well I am curious why you do not allow for any improvement of our players.
CFB players only get 4 years and there tends to be huge improvements from the first to the second year of playing time.
We have so many players that are entering their 'prime' as CFB players. Especially on the defensive end. Just the natural progression alone allows for a significant improvement in all of our DEs and DTs. Many are entering their second year with the program and/or their second year as starters.
Just being a 20 year old after 2 full seasons in the weight program vs an 18 year old entering their very first training camp makes a huge difference.
We have such a significant portion of the team in this circumstance that it is very possible that the team CAN have a breakthrough year.
There are too many to even mention.
It seems that you are on a prove it to me basis with every player that you do not even allow for natural evolution of players.
