[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 246880, member: 639"] OK. I think I understand your concern a little better, now that I have read through the last page or so a second time, and specifically your last post after this one. My position is that targeting players to recruit, bringing them in, signing them, and subsequently developing them are inextricably linked and the end result is how well you have recruited. I would also say we have recruited better than the factories on offense for many recruiting cycles in fact. It would be hard to argue against that given the historic performance of our 2014 offense, which basically rewrote the record book in terms of offensive effectiveness. I can see how you feel I contradicted myself in transition of a long paragraph after my BC comments. Let me try to clarify. BC is a defense stacked with more talent than we have. We are not bereft of talent. We have talent in places. In some places it is established and in other places it is emerging. I am still trying to get a handle on where I think we are, but it is certainly behind BC, who has recruited (according to the star gazers) about on par or worse than us. Defensive team stats, like the yard per play metric (in which we don't rank as well as total defense) is a complex web of many factors, in which overall talent level (recruiting) plays a role. However, opponents' offensive style and proficiency, schematic choices, quality play calling, weather, difficulty of your schedule, and just plain luck all play a major role too. I hope this helps. Overall, I am trying to make the point that not enough water has gone under the bridge to justify any solid position about the 2016 defense yet. [/QUOTE]
