The majority of people griping were more talking about the current Dl depth and the previous two classes. Not preparing for guys to leave as jr's , which is a very fair gripe. Now we'll be depending on Fr dt's , transfers and not much depth at de. To go with a pretty good roster everywhere else.
Depending on kids to play a grown man spot is bad news, especially with all the kids we'll be needing.
The staff deserves mad props for this dt class , just like they deserved to be ripped about the previous two classss. Some will rip the staff regardless , and then some will slurp the coaches no matter what. Both are equally annoying.
As for Rumph, I was waiting on this class before I rip him on him about his recruiting. Imo he doesn't deserve as much crap as he's gotten.
No, it was unfair to criticize Kul for not getting more DTs during the 2016-2017 recruiting season. What recruit would want to come to Miami knowing that 2 sophomores had locked down the spot for 1 to 2 more years, and they were being backed up by like 15 DTs. Remember at the time, Courtel was still on the team and eligible for another year, Willis, Bethel, Moten, and Martin were all on the team for another 1-3 years as well.
A case could easily be made that a 2017 kid wouldn't see the field till 2019, depending on who left early. And i'm sure plenty of opposing teams made that case against Miami for the elite DTs.
The standards that coaches are being held at Miami are ridiculous. Even the GAWD Saban himself, with all his 5 star recruits, got beat when he lost his starting LB corps for a game or two. Sometimes, s*** just happens and no matter what you do, you can't fully prepare for it.
So much bs.
There's schools with far more talent and depth on the dl than us and they keep right on adding.
We've could taken multiple jucos to somewhat make a quick fix. I mean it's been obvious for way over a year , me and Indy have been talking about this for awhile.
We knew we could possibly lose 3 dt and almost all the de's this class and wasn't adding to the numbers. There's a reason why we are taking bodies from Illinois , it's because of how the Dl recruiting has been handled. Notice I say Dl? It's not just dt.
The same guys said Kul needed help , then boom " we hire patke". He immediately has coburn visiting them Ojomo sneaking in visits . He'll probably land us Coburn.
Richt deserves credit for noticing Kul needed help with recruiting. He's just more of a teacher than a seller,if us dumb fans noticed i'm sure the staff did too. There's been an obvious issue.
I'll give them credit , even if they do mess something up they're really good about fixing it. But to think they didn't ***** up the Dl recruiting previous classes it just silly. Your head is just too far up the staffs butt.
