Improvement on Offense

So I'm sure this is the question that everyone is wondering and no one knows the answer to...but any thoughts as to when we can expect to see improvement on offense?

I can't say I know too much about the 2013 class and which of those guys might be an impact player (other than those who are already playing), so any help there would be great.

Otherwise, what I do (think) I know is:

- the new offensive coaching staff (Searels is the unknown) seem to be better coaches and recruiters than their predecessors

- I saw it posted somewhere (can't remember where) that if you look at the HS ratings (which we all know can be useless) for our current offensive starters, it's pretty awful. Something to the effect of Logan being the only 4* (at a dif position of course), with everyone else a 3* except for Stanford was 2* and Byrn/Cline weren't even rated...or something like that, can't remember exactly. I think DJ Coles was also highly rated but wasn't healthy enough to play the whole game.

The 2014 class brings:
- two 4* WRs, two 3* WRs
- one 3-4* TE + Buckey supposedly moving over
- two 4* RBs
- two 4* QBs
- four 3* OL + Teller & Pfaff
- somewhere in the mix will be guys like Caleb, Parker, etc

The upgrade in * power is undeniable, but we all know that doesnt always mean much, and of course it takes time to develop the players...and while the new staff seems to be an upgrade they still haven't fully proven themselves.

Taking all that into account, any educated guesses on when we might start to see significant improvement on O?

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.
