What an awful way to word a thread when basically just making the 1000th tired proposal that the d-line haul was underwhelming. This is bad and you should feel bad.

Being thin in one area of one recruiting class does not mean we moved backwards. It just means this area needs to be addressed next year.

FWIW, in the DB, RB and LB positions we knocked it out of the park.

Evans is going to surprise alot of people. Quiet shy kid that didn't do alot of the camp stuff and committed early. I'm expecting big things out of him.

Can't speak for the entire board, but me thinks you are a Debbie Downer for even entertaining the thought that we may have moved backward with this class.
