Good write up. Injuries certainly play a part in explaining the huge # of frosh and sophs on our 2 deep. The larger reason to my mind is the these young men are simply better than the competing upperclassmen. The overall talent level of our last 2 classes is markedly superior to that of the prior recruit groups. Better athletes particularly on D but with zero college experience the lack of which hurts. It will I believe pay dividends next year.
In hindsight we were vastly more successfull bringing in top multiple level offensive skill players but that same success cannot be said for D.
