My 2 cents on this:
My expectation for this team is 10-2. I believe that we can at least split the 4 toss ups. While 9-3 would be below my expectations, I would still be alright with it.
1. It's an improvement from last season.
2. We can still win the East with that record.
It's fine if those guys are the next Chance Hall, Coleman Thomas, Ethan Wolf, Jashon Robertson, Kyler Kerbyson, Corey Vereen, Kendal Vickers, Josh Smith, Cam Sutton, Josh Dobbs (Rivals), or Dylan Wiesman.
Maybe Butch and Bob Welton are so cocky about their talent evals that they are just gonna go ahead and win a national championship with an all 3* roster.
As of today, I'll go with:
QB Copeland 3*
RB Coleman 3*, Chandler 4*
WR Fant 3*, Jones 3*, Payton 3*
TE Rogers 3*
OL Tucker 3*, Ross 3*, Locklear 3*
DT Bennett 3*, Crosby 4*, Gaddy 4*, Hansard 3*
DE Bumphus 3*, Lawson 3*, Gaddy 3*
LB Burnam 3*, Henderson 3*, Page 3* Bembry 3*
DB Gray 4*, Jackson 3*, Labruzza 3*
K Cimaglia 3*
Game on!
That would be the worst class since.... I don't know how long. Even Dooley had better classes.
That class as listed would probably be better on paper than Butch's first class that he had 2 months to assemble. Based on Rivals, that class only had 5 four stars. Sutton was a three star. You expect a bump or two, and we will get more four stars.
Some of that class was recruited over, but there are actually 8 from that class who are big time contributors.
It's fine if those guys are the next Chance Hall, Coleman Thomas, Ethan Wolf, Jashon Robertson, Kyler Kerbyson, Corey Vereen, Kendal Vickers, Josh Smith, Cam Sutton, Josh Dobbs (Rivals), or Dylan Wiesman.
