It's unfortunate Tanner didn't stay healthy this year after having a fantastic year last year. I'm sure the coaches are evaluating the scholarships they have available and trying to bring in as much talent as they can. Our special teams were down this year after we got spoiled with Hileman and Tanner, who both receive all conference recognition. The bottom line, though, is if you have scholarship players that aren't able to get on the field, the coaches are going to wind up looking hard at that. I wish Tanner all the best, and we'll miss the great tailgates with his Mom. Like I've said many time, if we are going to add JUCOs they have to be able to contribute right away--that didn't happen so much this year. If you look around the league other teams have had very good success with some positions (OL and cornerback kind of stick out), but also many JUCOs that don't play. Like HS recruiting, it's still a crapshoot to find a diamond in the rough.
