leave off the roster inherited by Hoke. Leave off player development. Leave off Cole/Isaac.
Did Hoke recruit poorly? Grades
QB recruiting (D)
RB recruiting (C)
WR recruiting (D)
TE recruiting (C)
The point I am trying to make is the offense was pretty woeful in his tenure as essentially a DL coach. His defense was actually o.k. and is structured to be pretty effective this year. The offense let Hoke down in part to either guys not really as good as the rankings especially early in their career.
Morris, Green, Smith, Darboh, etc. etc. Not to say Butt isn't good or some of these guys might prosper but Hoke needed to strike Gold and it sure looks like his 'missed'.
I think Hoke knew what to look for on defense but from what I see....relying on Borges and other guys didn't quite work out.
Agree or disagree? When 'we' say Hoke recruited well...are we saying on the defensive side?
