That was vintage Bradford "doing work"....what a frickin disaster he was. I also thought losing Hayes was going to be a big loss, and while he turned out to be serviceable, probably underperformed relative to his potential. Interesting about Lynch turning into a star, don't remember much about him. CrownoftheValley likes this.

Looks like the two who could have contributed are Graham and Lynch (DT at Baylor). Other than that, we dodged a lot of bullets. I'll give kudos where they are due - I am sure the guys we signed instead of these players have turned out better for us. Of course I am leaving out the 2021 class...and some from the 2019 class whom have yet to make a significant impact - jury is still out on them. BarNone and Wolfpack4SC like this.

Lately when it happens it seems it is just seen as proof that Helton sucks. zitorocks likes this.
