Agree. Starting with poor OL recruiting after Pete, the overall talent level began to fall after his exit, and accelerated in Helton's tenure. This year's wide receivers couldn't get open after London went down. Our feature RB was from the bottom of the deck at Texas. DBs? Hahaha! LBs can't tackle. DL was weak before all the injuries, and we ended up using a bench-warming OL giant to fill a spot on the DL. It's encouraging to hear Riley talk about building a championship team from the front to the back. No doubt he understands how overall talent needs a massive upgrade, beginning with the bigs. His OLs need to big AND mobile to run his offensive scheme.
I agree PT. We have to improve team speed on defense as well. recruiting Is about relationships and Riley only has two weeks. We should not expect to have a top 10 class this year, but we are SC And we hired a pretty good dude. Riley gave us his plan: build the team from the trenches out. Can he execute is the only question. previous Coaches could not execute.
Riley has said that he will build form dline and oline upwards. I don't think the message or need is lost on Riley. I think he has to grab what he can right now just like democrat trying ot grab pork barrel spending before the midterms or a wokester looting a Nordstroms. So Shaneeqa mya have told Lovartus to grap a certain LV bag, Lovartus will grab what he can.
Apparently Lincoln also thinks this team needs speed and playmaker skill players as well ...
Keeping The So Cal players Ricks home is going to be a priority for Riley. I think he is up to the task.
