We don't need D2/FCS guys to be Tuten, just good enough to play P4 ball, which every year there are a handful of guys that are that good. Same with G5, they don't have to lead the nation in sacks, just be P4 caliber. Which again there are lots of G5 guys that are better than the G5. Again we need to correct the misses with lower level guys that were misses the other way.
Or you didn't develop them, which is still in Pry.
So, I kind of (just kind of) disagree... a slow burn isn't necessarily a bad thing, and I think, when done correctly, it's a very effective storytelling tool. After all, you have to build characters and storyline in order to have a long term payoff. Season 2 of The Wire is the best example of this IMO.
That said, I agree that D+ is the absolute worst - they always seem to come from the business side first, and creative side second.
First three episodes were not only slow - they were deliberately dragging the narrative to get to their Episode 3 destination. The time Andor spent with the rebels was just wheel spinning.
We see this a lot in modern streaming series - we need to stretch this to X episodes, so we'll slow things down and add plot elements that go nowhere. See White Lotus S3.
I have 3 extra tickets if anyone is looking for multiple. Section 106, row HH.
cant tell from your tone if you're gloating or not
Edit: "tone" not "tine"
Any good floor guy will be here exactly one season and then leave.
Do I ever or will I ever expect D2 and FCS transfers to all be Bayshul Tuten? in 2025/modern times? Absolutley not. In fact for every Tuten, there are 10 guys that never get on the field. Do I expect the eastern michigan guy to be as good as florida transfer APR? nope. I live in reality.
I think the floor does matter. That's your depth. If the next man up is of a higher caliber, then the team overall is better.
To be fair, did we expect all these guys to be difference makers when the transfers were announced? Same could be true for those new transfers yet to play.

Top end difference makers make a difference. APR single handedly shifted momentum in a few games this fall. I wish I had a better understanding of what improving the floor does for a roster. Does your floor really even matter? I assume it does, just based on our O Line this year. But how much does it matter?
That's A LOT of holes

The talent I am talking about are guys like APR, Tuten, Peebles, Strong. I have yet to see anything close as replacements for 2025. I am talking about top end difference makers here. Not just roster guys.
So much for that whole amateur status thing.
Bingo. When 30 kids are "passed on the depth chart" every year, you didn't recruit well in the first place now did you?
If there are that many holes in Year 3, I think Pry can only blame himself for the recruiting failures.
As long as the new talent is an upgrade and he is recruiting better than before the team will get better.
We are still discussing any potential limits on eligibility? How did Cam Rising look in Utah's spring game?
Getting on the field in P4 ball and just P4 "caliber"- gets you a whole bunch of 6-6 seasons.
