Agreed. Those 2 are massive needs. My preference is for a top 2 RB as well, but

I know there are differing opinions there. I just don't know how you can go into this pivotal season, knowing the passing game is likely a struggle, without a group of RBs that you are confident:
A) Can perform
B) Can stay healthy
C) All of the above

But based on the timing, they’re presumably leaving due to where they are on the depth chart

Which probably means 1 of 2 things (or both)

1) They were over-valued as recruits and that might explain why we were able to get them.

2) We simply have no NIL money to give to guys that aren’t near the top of the depth chart, whereas other schools do. So we’re going to have a hard time keeping any developmental players that have enough potential to draw interest from elsewhere.

I think football recruiting is a pretty large crapshoot

I think the error bars on the top ranked guys are pretty large and once you get out of the top 100-250 range probably the error bars are gigantic.

I think the elite schools just reduce their margin for error by being able to take so many top ranked guys that the ones that break out will cover for the ones that bust.

It doesn’t surprise me that middling schools often have top recruits bust and unheralded recruits break out.

I think most of these guys probably are leaving because they didn’t perform. I don’t know if that means they were overvalued as HS recruits. I just think our expectations for the recruits based on rankings we bring in should probably be lowered. Many of them will bust.
