I love this recruiting class for several reasons, but none moreso than it contains the pieces necessary to install their schemes in all 3 phases. They got bigger, more physical dbs. They got faster, more aggressive backers and edge rushers. They got a toolbox for the offense. Place kicker and returners. I believe their are even some long snappers amongst the walk-ones. So many times we see a new staff have to make due, especially on offense, and especially at QB. Frost and staff took care of that in the first hour. It's a real benefit because not only will it be easier on the players to learn the whole thing, but by knowing what they have it should make year 2 recruiting that much more targeted and efficient.
The culture issue...at the end of the day it's less about coaches to players and more about players to players. Again, this recruiting class may jumpstart that. The two players I wanted the most were Martinez and Honas, because in their own ways, they are natural leaders. Martinez is a mature, vocal type. I would be surprised if he's not starting day one because he feels like a starting QB, just has that presence. Honas doesn't say anything, but he chews up barbells. He's a trend setter in the weight room and on the field.
