It has been the quietest off-season ever with very little recruiting news, position group rankings, and legitimate game previews. MgoBoard has very little hype or chatter.
No wonder, nine out of ten writers go a web search and think they know; there is very little actual reporting these days. How often can you repeat the same old recruiting rankings?
When I looked at the MgoBlog position groups I was defected--mostly the same players from a from a dry cupboard. Then I looked here and found the answer: Lots of transfers and huge turnover. And another thing... the OL looks like guys who entered the portal and were then given raises; Evan Link is the student-athlete who would remain in his stance while opposing players sacked the quarterback.
I don't know but it doesn't look good. I mean, in terms of the schedule. There are the four nearly impossible games plus Iowa and Penn State and I wouldn't even count out Minnesota and Michigan State.
Start with quarterback where Underwood has a monopoly and has unimpressed so far and on to receivers and tight ends. The latter two-thirds were terrible awful last year and many are gone. There were games when March disappeared and the others are unproven; the tight ends are clunky and nonathletic with all still there. DL, I just don't see it--unproductive holdovers save possibly for Henry and what happened to the the quick edge guys? The linebackers are mostly new and unheralded, Rod Moore is old news, and I guess Zeke Berry has improved. Special teams is a all new.
I get it. This is what had to happen. And if if I see Warde I will barf.
Of course I'll be watching. More later.
