The frustrating thing about Spence was the moment DuBose went pro, Spence became undisputed WR1.
The other thing that makes us acutely aware of his departure is that our presumed WR1 has only taken 4 snaps all season due to undisclosed āpersonal issuesā.
The fact that we have neither is forcing Hestera to play out of position.
IMO, we should be lining up this way:
WR1 Spence / Bradley
WR2 Mack
SR Hestera
Thatās a solid unit for a run first team. Put another way, if we had Reynolds back for his 11th or whatever year of eligibility, with Robinson / Kellman / Byrd as his backfield, I think we could score enough points and sustain enough drives to be at least 2-1 right now, with some hopes for a good season.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Also, the longer I think about it, the more I believe we essentially traded CR plus 3 stud WR for an equal # of solid defensive players, but otherwise our talent growth hasnt been equal to the step up in competition we have and will be facing. Coupled with a dysfunctional coaching staffā¦ we are getting results that look a helluva lot like last year.
Everything has seemed quiet on the CLT front. When did the influx of transfers in/out happen last year? I canāt remember when it was in correlation to the spring game
