So what's the bigger issue: conditioning or recruiting?
Are these freak injuries? Are they working too hard in spring camp and fall preseason practice and getting injuries from being overworked? Or are the players showing up on campus unprepared and out of shape?
Or is the recruiting just this bad? You can blame Muss for leaving a shell of a team all you want, but if you can't even recruit to the point that your second and third stringers aren't high school ability then you need to look at your recruiting tatics. If you know your thin, recruit players who ARE ready to play, not projects that need to develop. Thought our paying all the athletes was supposed to be a recruiting tool...
