With our recent successes in the secondary, those players are elevated in my eyes, and makes the class as a whole seem much better.
I enjoy this whole thing regardless
Ramsey? Thorson?We have two corner commits, Fussell and Shivers. Lewis and Walters are safeties.
The issue is that QB and WR are also amongst our lowest-rated/recruited positions and we haven’t exactly been killing it there for a while now.
Ramsey? Thorson?
WOW ... that list is both sobering and sad for a program that has had the likes of Schnur, Kustok, Basanez, Persa, Kafka, Colter, Siemian and Thorson. Plus a couple of 4 and 5 star highly sought after recruiting gems that didn't/haven't panned out.Thorson committed as part of the class of 2014 and Ramsey was a one-year stop-gap because our HS QB recruiting since Thorson has been pretty… um… pedestrian: Lloyd Yates, Aidan Smith, Andrew Marty, Jason Whittaker, [nobody], Carl Richardson, Brendan Sullivan, Jack Lausch, and Aidan Gray. Not a highly-recruited kid in the bunch.
Almost all of these guys were offered and taken late, apparently as second or third choices after our top choices in those years spurned NU for other offers. Gray, however was clearly a top choice among our coaches, committing very early. The coaches also appear to be quite high on both Sullivan and Lausch, though both of them were offered later in the recruiting process. I expect Sullivan to play this year, whether as a starter or as a change of pace from Hilinski.Thorson committed as part of the class of 2014 and Ramsey was a one-year stop-gap because our HS QB recruiting since Thorson has been pretty… um… pedestrian: Lloyd Yates, Aidan Smith, Andrew Marty, Jason Whittaker, [nobody], Carl Richardson, Brendan Sullivan, Jack Lausch, and Aidan Gray.

Whittaker committed to NU in December of his junior year, and was a tight end by his sophomore year.Almost all of these guys were offered and taken late, apparently as second or third choices after our top choices in those years spurned NU for other offers.

Ah, I thought Lewis was playing outside.We have two corner commits, Fussell and Shivers. Lewis and Walters are safeties.

I'm thinking slash hoping that Sullivan can be the solution this upcoming season. Let's go Brendan!!WOW ... that list is both sobering and sad for a program that has had the likes of Schnur, Kustok, Basanez, Persa, Kafka, Colter, Siemian and Thorson.

Hoping Sully exceeds expectations and rights the ship.

Ramsey was a grad transfer stopgap so not a HS recruit. And Thorson was in what? 2014? That is forever ago. We really have not had anything to speak of since in HS recruiting. We did get a couple transfers but so far they have not played outRamsey? Thorson?
This is an impressive list, even after leaving out CJ Bacher, who still owns the single season NU record for passing yards with 3,656 in 2007 and is fourth all time in passing yards behind Thorson, Basanez, and Len Williams.WOW ... that list is both sobering and sad for a program that has had the likes of Schnur, Kustok, Basanez, Persa, Kafka, Colter, Siemian and Thorson.

Yuck!

Fitz loves "complementary" football. Unfortunately, our seasons in 2019 and 2021 got cratered by this approach.The offense is still stale, unimaginative, and downright less than mediocre. Maybe as Corbi has said, Fitz is the problem, not the OC.

^ Only to get blasted by the winner from the East.
Same goes for Wisky in the times they won the West.
If the B1G does away with divisions, then sticking to a "conservative" O will pretty mean never being a contender.
And having a "high-powered" O doesn't mean not being "complementary" or having a greater risk of TOs.
Look at the TD/TO ratio for programs like Bama, UGA, dOSU, OU, etc.
Heck of a lot better than what the Cats have been trotting out.
*sigh*
I suppose.
