Disappointing but it’s not over yet.
Everything seems tougher. I’m confident opposing coaches have increased the uncertainty of when Kirk will retire.

Irrelevant with how easy (and frankly beneficial financially) to transfer it is now. Why we’re missing on skill position players isn’t a mystery. For some reason we fail to land stud RB’s year after year. It’s puzzling honestly. Missing on the OT to MSU is the head scratcher.

I would imagine that with the running back position the other coaches are using our deep and fairly young running back room against us.

Right, but this isn’t a new problem. They haven’t landed a top 25 running back since 2014 per 247. Pretty crazy since we’ve always been a run dominant team.

Certainly seems reasonable.

But let's not get carried away with reason.

Remember, some of the same guys freaking out about missing on recruits, are some of the same guys claiming the team should be built through the portal

Moulton is a Jr, Phillips is a Jr, Williams is a So, McNeil is a So, Doll is a So and Dean is a RSFresh. Not many players will want to sit behind that. A lot of talent in the room. I expect Moulton will have a 1,000 yard year and numerous 100 yard games.

It you’re good enough, you don’t SIT BEHIND.

You play.

“Talent in the room” is not an excuse or reason for a team to miss on high school recruits.

Exactly the room is stacked, the trolls are desperate to find something to be negative about.

Correct, and so far the portal remains total free agency. Some still feel like if we don't sign high school juniors we are just done.

We have a small senior class this year.....I think 16 is all. It was always going to be tough sledding since most don't want to sit and wait.

There's nothing wrong with the guys we have in the RB room. Don't care what their "star ranking" was at this point....
