Good point from Tom Miller about the impact of the new S&C coach being overlooked a bit by fans:

I think i saw that BJ has siblings at the U of M, so I wouldn’t blame him if he ends up there. It’s definitely a bummer as he could have set records here and been on top of the league for the next to years, but I will be watching him in the future and hoping he does well! What some of you are leaving out is his defensive ability. It made a major leap this year and was extremely valuable.
For underclassmen on defense, mine would be (with limited insight) Rucker, Erkman, Dixon, Bluiett, Baretz, Sutton, Parks and Teiken. Really going to need a few DL guys to step up. OLB and S still concerns as well.
