Missing on our top 8 targets last year in recruiting has come home.
Combine that with a mass talent exodus, and we have no buffer against bad luck. Each recruit needs to be a hit, and maybe one over perform relative to expectations.
That 2011 season is starting to seem to be the exception. Lamb far outperformed his ranking and Jorts came out of freaking nowhere. Perhaps we ought to expect a 2013-esque season whenever the roster is gutted.
