This was Butch's first full recruiting class. How does the class look now? Jalen Hurd- Transferring middle of Jr season Dewayne Hendrix- Transferred to Pitt Derrell Scott- Transferred to ECU Daniel Helm- Transferred to Duke Dontavius Blair- Left program D'Andre Payne- Transferred to Iowa State Michael Sawyers- Dismissed from team (theft) Joe Henderson- Left Program (academics) Treyvon Paulk- Dismissed from team (punched gf) Vic Wharton- Transferred to Cal Neiko Creamer- Transferred to EKU Ray Raulerson- Transferred to WVU Von Pearson- Graduated (journeyman) Chris Weatherd- Graduated (JUCO transfer) Owen Williams- Graduated (JUCO transfer) Josh Malone- Starting WR Todd Kelly Jr.- Starting Safety Dillon Bates- Special Teamer Cortez McDowell- Backup LB Derek Barnett- Starting defensive end Gavin Bryant- Backup LB Charles Mosley- Backup Lineman Evan Berry- Backup DB, Returner Ethan Wolf- Starting TE Rashaan Gaulden- Starting DB Jashon Robertson- Starting OL Dimarya Mixon- Backup DL Coleman Thomas- Starting OL Jakob Johnson- Special teams player Elliott Berry- Special teams, LB Emmanuel Moseley- Starting DB Aaron Medley- starting Kicker
That doesn't look all that bad. If we get a real OL coach to improve Coleman Thomas and Jashon Robertson, it'd help.
15 gone, but three graduated. Jalen leaving sucks, but he still produced how many yards? Hard to say he wasn't worth the scholarship.
6 starters, plus Hurd and 2 specialists at K and KR. That may not be terrible, but it sure isn't as billed, especially considering what was in front of them. EDIT: My bad. I think it's 7. Mosely Gaulden Malone Barnett Robertson Wolfe TKjr
McDowell probably starts next season. But yeah, not the super class it was thought to be. Owen Williams and Vonn Pearson were pretty decent. Who was Derrell Scott? Don't remember him at all.
