You've fallen victim to the narrative already, huh? Let's see what's returning on defense....Asante, Woodbey, Gant, Durden, Kevon Glenn, Janarious Robinson, Kaindoh, Carlos Becker, Travis Jay, Jarvis Brownlee, Kalen Deloach, Fagan, Isaiah Bolden, Quashon Fuller, Woodie III, Amari Gainer, Renardo Green, Jaleel McRae, Derrick McLendon, Dennis Briggs, Tru Thompson, Robert Cooper, Curtis Fann, and Malcolm Ray to name a few. All of those guys either got significant playing time this year or came in with blue chip pedigree.
On offense .....Laborn, McKitty, Jordan Travis, Tamorrion, Helton, Pokie, Jordan Young, and Cam McDonald at the skill positions. Willie recruited at least 4 freshman offensive linemen that got a year under their belts to go along with Baveon Johnson, Christian Meadows, Brady Scott, and Boselli. That line is better than what Willie inherited. Even Grothaus and Ryan Fitzgerald will be upgrades in the kicking game moving forward. Who in the ACC outside of Clemson that has this level of blue chip talent returning? Don't believe the hype just cause we're losing Cam, Marvin, and Hamsah. Willie restocked the cupboard with football players. There will be more draft picks that come outta his two classes than what came out of Jimbo's crown jewel class of 2016 and his 2017 class.
