re: Shea says to not be surprised if Cai Bates doesn't end up in this class

So we apparently will be searching the portal for help in the secondary and defensive line for the third straight year. I know the roster was depleted when Kelly arrived, so taking a bunch from the portal was necessary.

But not being able to get quality high school recruits at those positions is setting us up for a continuing cycle of this year after year, and you can't win championships like that.

The recruiting has been pretty good except for those two spots. Stands to reason that we need to get rid of the defensive back coaches who can't recruit, and apparently can't coach. The defensive line coach is a different matter at this time, but we couldn't lure any defensive tackles last year, either.
