re: With how young this team is and the great recruiting classes

How in the hell can we be a young team every fricking year

Because we continue to lose key players, at critical positions, to the draft. If by some miracle we keep White, Beckwith, and Hawkins this year, we wouldn't be in a position where we have to start freshmen next year. Think about the incoming LB class WITH Beckwith coming back? Think about our OL with Hawkins back. I'm not so sure that Hawkins stays at LT if we could pull Little into this class. He looks that good. Our OL either underperformed or they need to get better. Little would instantly make them better whether he plays left or right. TW coming back as the leader of our D backfield next year would be huge.

Will any of that happen...probably not. But it's the difference between the "this year" and "next year" bullshite. The one thing that has to happen is that Harris has got to continue to develop and become a ~60-70% passer every fricking game. He's also got to play his best against a team like Bama. I like the kid but go back and look at the 2 plays when we were called on time. If his instinct is to take a fricking sack with a "deer in the headlights" look on his face, THIS year may never come with him under center. I like BH and I see lots of potential but anyone who says they were 100% sure that he would handle the pressure is delusional. We hoped he would.
