Hopefully, Sark, Flood, and Harris can make this one happen!

My concern is that too much credit is being given to unproven players. At RB, I love Baxter, but outside of pass pro has he really shown that he can be a #1 RB? I haven't seen it consistently yet. And what exactly has James Simon proven? I like our stable of RBs, but outside Wisner, I have yet to see anyone opposing DCs worry about. And we still don't have a home run threat. None of our RBs are pure RBs who can hit a crease and take it to the house against an SEC defense. 

 

I know Wingo has started to come on, and Mosely looks like a complete WR, but if you have a chance to grab a proven burner in the portal, I think you have to take it. I know they are 5 stars, but outside McClutcheon, what have the freshmen shown you?  

And the OL. Stroh, Kibble, Neto, and Brooks all scare me, being in the lineup for what might be Arch's last year. I can't believe we are even talking about this. Until all of them were removed, Arch was getting killed. And we are supposed to trust that they are gonna get better.  They have not earned that at all in my opinion. I think you need to bring in at least one IOL that is a proven, seasoned veteran. If we had signed Pregnon, the state of our OL would have been greatly improved this year. I'm saying you bring in 4, but 1 definitely, and maybe 2. 

On D, I think you must bring in an S. And maybe a CB too. 

I think we are promising young players the chance to be the guy and play early, and that is hurting us. I don't think we need to build completely through the portal, but I think we need to get help where we can.
