[QUOTE="thunderwear, post: 1368638, member: 445550"] I agree, we can't bank on walk-ons. But I guarantee that the coaching staff isn't banking on walk-ons. They are rebuilding. Having 81 solid players that want to be here is better than having 81 that do and 24 that don't. We didn't have a D1 Power 5 roster. Heck, we barely had a D1 MAC roster and I would be that we wouldn't have competed for the MAC title. We are upgrading the team and roster spots. We are getting rid of people that are not bought into the system and we are getting rid of people that would be cancers to the rebuild. Although in athletics I've only worked with winning teams, my career has focused on turning around organizations. I think the work Lovie is doing is almost textbook how you turn around an organization. We will suck until we have the right people on the bus. And we would continue to suck if we let people that are subpar on the team. Right now I think Lovie is building a solid base and I think that we will have a legitimate start to a team next year.
