We have 2 guys with no other D1 offers, 2 guys that were recruited only by HBC's and one guy who is recovering from ACL surgery. Very few DL and OL and that is where the games are won/lost, especially in FCS and have been areas of weakness for us in the recent past.This is what happens when you have an unsettled coaching situation
Hope that I am wrong and have underestimated our incoming talent, but don't see it. How do we lose a 3* recruit to Furman? I can understand losing him to a FBS school, but Furman? SMH.

They seem to be building on a great 2016 season.
