How Far Away Is The Roster?

My main concern is QB and DB. The real problem is we are always short at those positions, because almost everyone is short at those positions.

How many times have we had an Impact Player at either of those position groups? Lets define that as someone who 1) can win multiple all conference awards, and 2) most teams in the conference would trade their top player at that position for ours? Not often.

Since our return to 1A/FBS, looking at QB, the only two names that come to mind are Scott Hall and Mason Fine. And neither one of those was heavily recruited. If I remember correctly Hall had a gaudy record in HS as a QB, but his offers from the P5 programs came at safety, where he was named AP All State. We gave him a shot at QB. Fine broke every Oklahoma record, but because of his size we where the only FBS school to offer.

Is it any better at DB? Who was the last truly shut down corner we had? Don McGee?

We need a RECRUITER. At least someone who understands your staff has to be all recruiting, all time. Either through high school or the portal. We have to get someone who can win those battles and have those kind of impact players sign here.

I was thinking Neon Don, too. Does he have a son who can play?

A little off topic, but I always thought Vizza was an incredible QB, essentially asked to captain and navigate a sinking ship.
