The guys seem to get bigger, stronger and faster
That is a heck of start to developing a football team. Add strong O-line and D-lines and most coaches would take that to build on. The LBs lacked depth last year. That seems to be corrected. The DB’s coming up are deeper than in the past thus we have good competition there.
We’ve lost Dayes and Frasier but still have good RBs and depth there with Hines moving to his natural position. According to our WR guru, Mr. DOG, we have size and speed at WR and good hands. Plus those guys can and will block.
Our Senior TE is a great blocker and with JSam at H-back we can compete there. Thad Moss will be missed as will McKever but we can survive their leaving without undue ill effect.
With an O-line that can hang with a D-line that is said to be one of the best in the country, good things can happen on offense. Remember we have a QB who put us in position to win 10 games in 2016.
Much of the spring was spent working on special teams — an area that in addition to kicking needs improvement and consistency.
Not loaded with super stars but IMO a well developed football team.

Recruiting wise more 4-star recruits are interested in State than ever before — like one dude who’s 6-6, 315 pounds.We have a QB commitment from NJ who is rated 4-star nearly everywhere. He was MVP at a regional Elite11 QB camp and is invited to the national Elite11. In his junior video he looks great — hitting receivers in stride with 40/50 yard strikes. At 6-2, 200 as a junior he’s still growing. He looked to have good if not great speed also.
This is what I see looking out of the windshield. Looking in the rear view mirror I still see the past which must improve.
I just have one question for you guys, must we always reiterate the past when talk about what’s possible in the future?
and yet his rankings have gone down the past 3 seasons to almost where we where before
