Not really
Needed Brock to implement new system and give Boley time to develop. (Will also be huge for Saunders if Boley is ready and develops even more for next season).
Really really wish we had him one more year. Kids a player
Maclin hasn't been the problem. He's not been used as he should until very recently. Again, I hope he stays another year.
It's hard to say Mincey was a bust, with no one on the roster able to beat him out. Was he as great as we needed him to be? Not with BV as QB.
AS HAS BEEN STATED WELL ELSEWHERE this is football and nothing happens on its own (inna vacuum). Everything is dependent on the entire 2 deep. It only takes one person to have a bad play or series for the whole team to suffer. That bad series can compound very quickly and extend into the entire game, whereas one key player can have a bad game in basketball and the team can still overcome it.
Another 6 months of development can do wonders for this team and program. 18 and you wouldn't even recognize it. Even with the same staff. It's not what people want to hear, but it's true.
