I'm as big of a Tiger supporter as any and I'm glad more kids are coming out but that does not automatically correlate to winning more games. It comes down to the talent of whatever 11+ you put out there. You can have 90 kids on a roster but if only 6 can play at a solid level... I notice people keep mentioning 2010, that team was filled with seniors that could go and get it. In fact, several played college football. On top of that you had several sophomores contributing as starters. I'm all about the kids but at the end of the day, it's difficult to win if you don't have the "athletes", I hope some of these boys are that.

I am just of the opinion that if we can pull 70 kids out of the halls at Clay, which to my knowledge we have never had that many consistently, then SURELY 11 of them can play. If not, then that's a bad sign of the quality of athletes that are in the school or bad coaching because looking at the schedule there will be several of those schools that share extremely similiar demographics as us on there and they will be lucky enough to pull out 30 kids on their roster. If we are pulling out twice as many kids as some of the competition and are still losing then is it likely that their 30 is better than our 70? If so, I would assume that is a bad sign for sports across the board at the highschool, because I know a couple of the kids play basketball and other sports as well so could we possibly see a downturn there? Either way, I think Combs and company get it done in year 2 and we are all drinking black and gold kool-aid come November.
