[QUOTE="78pike, post: 951957, member: 4030"] Let me start by saying that I have long enjoyed your posts and I look forward to future ones. You seem to be taking my responses as a personal affront and I assure you they are not intended as such. I just happen to disagree with your conclusion in this case and some of the logic you used to reach that conclusion. The point of my response was that coach recruited these players to join our current players because he believes they can play against ACC caliber players. You surmised the transfers aren't talented enough to start because of the records of the teams they came from. So to think he brought all these guys here simply to sit behind the guys that started last year is, to me, a bit naive. If you read the statements that CDS has made about some of these new guys, Abram and Reeves in particular, he believes they have skill sets that our lineup last year didn't possess. I already stated that we have talent returning from last year's team and those guys will be significant contributors. I just feel that infusing some of the new talent with some of the returning talent could make us a more explosive team and harder to defend. I'm not knocking the returning players, I'm just saying I think they the team might benefit from them accepting different roles than they had last year. Logic tells me that we won't be starting the same guys we started last year because it didn't work and I'm not sure they all fit the profile of the type of players that CDS prefers. I'm pretty sure they will all be contributors, but not all as starters. You made sound points in your original post that led you to think that our starting lineup would consist of Sturdivant, Terry, Kelley and Coleman. I just happen to believe it will be different from that and include both Abram and Reeves. I just took issue with you assuming the talent of these new players is somehow tied to the record of the teams they played for last year.
