I just dont see us getting back to being a top 10 team every single year. Maybe I am wrong and Mickey and Busch can get our talent level back to elite across the board but I would think we need a few more recruiters at their level as well as massive booster NIL support to get that to happen.

visit this weekend

Said he hasnt thrown a football for 8 weeks. I would imagine a few more weeks rest and rehab and he should be ready to sling that mutha

during our time in the B1G we have recruited well enough to play for the B1G championship 80% of the time. Every year but this last year I believe we have been ranked the top class in the West. EVEN with losing season on top of losing season we have been able to use the N to bring in high enough level talent to compete for conference titles. The fact we havent is a complete joke at this point.

I am content with being a top 25 program with an occasional top 10 team every few years. I honestly feel like that may be our ceiling now.

No because changes should have been made after the prior season. Winning 6 would also have shown that we improved and the coaches that let go would have improved.

stop it. lol

I dont disagree, just harder to "get excited" so to speak. Staff changes and a hopeful recruiting boost with having Joseph and Busch on staff will help as I feel like we upgraded with every hire Frost made this offseason with the one unknown being OL. Joseph and Busch can get us back to top 25 classes.

It is just so damn frustrating. We made staff changes...changes that should have occurred a couple years ago.

I'd prefer having a winning season...which I currently cannot believe how far my expectations for our program have fallen.

with even below average improvement we are a bowl team.

It really has to be a bottom bar of bowl game.

how many 6th year seniors on defensive lines did we face this last year?

Yep which is why you hope you have a couple OL who can play both inside and out on your two deep cuz you will probably need them at some point over the season.

stop being such a debbie downer. 15-0 world champs baby!

@The Dudewe need your help here.

strength punishes but speed kills

I think I just heard on 1620 that Allen is visiting this weekend now?

I would imagine any openings we have in the analyst department will be filled once all the hiring and firing settles down after Feb.

sounds a bit more like a goose.

It honestly isnt hard considering we are at 89 with Cerni medically retiring. If we have to pull a walk on scholarship or 2 for a semester to make numbers work we can. Also gives us flexibility in snagging a few more impact players from the portal.

Gifford was a promised a scholarship after his first year. Snodgrass was always scholarship. If Hixson isnt in the 2 deep he shouldnt have a scholarship. I have no problem with any of the others moving out to make room. I hope we get much more cutthroat in terms of moving non contributors out. You may have handful of guys that you see as long-term projects that you keep but you can't do it to your entire roster.

I'm simply saying in the grand scheme of things we didn't have an extremely young OL compared to some of our peers and I don't like that excuse. In all actuality Frost and his staff did a terrible job when they arrived at recruiting enough competent depth at the OL spot. Which is obviously why we are where we are.

Our Oline in terms or time in the program was nearly identical to Iowas starting OL this past season. We went ahead and listed everyone with the added covid year and Iowa did not.
