Post Partum, well we got our guy. Not certain of his quality yet, but very certain of his enthusiasm. Along the way, apparently tOSU helped some of their targets get some hefty raises. As quoted before, hoping that the #1 RB who Alford was recruiting for the S&G, will flip to our new guy instead of the Wolverweenies. Go Bucks!

Feeling really good about this coaching staff top to bottom….adding James L and Kelly….wow!!

Seems like Day has culled the heard for weakness and all the fat has likely been trimmed.

Carlos has to prove himself still but seems like a home run; let’s see how he recruits. Safeties coach MG is known to Knowles so I assume that’s going to be an upgrade but he has to prove himself as well and I’ll be watching his recruiting too.

The one position to me that now is debatable is Frye. He has a history with Kelly that should help. I’ve been patient with him because the cupboards were bare and OL is the most developmental position but…..It’s put up or shut up time.
