How many more dudes do we need from the portal? Seems like a lot.
I could see at least 1 slot, 1 RB, 2 Edge, 1 OLB, and 2 DBs.
Offense seems pretty set and deep and solid. Defense still seems VERY non-competitive when you have no defensive starters returning reaching an all-ACC level. Douse, Lockett, and Biggers flash but are still kind of average, Efford improved but is still average and slow, Tren struggled to tackle, CPL, Sims, and Harvey can be solid but are still not at all special. I hate to say it but we had more defensive talent under CPJ. Today we are either slow or small.
Prices in the portal have been steep. Any insight into our plans and how we afford talent? I like the idea of productive 1AA players that are mature and proven and even SEC guys with size and speed but are just young (like Lightsey) and need seasoning. However, we need help NOW and I do not see how our RS-Fr backups are going to close that distance by the fall.
