defensive starters that were all either Grinches players or his commits / evaluations
Downs /all Big 12
Stutsman/ all American
Lewis
Woody
Bowman/all American
Spears Jennings
Gentry Williams ( if healthy )
Year 3 and BV is still starting majority of Grinches players /commits
Past starters
Redmon
White
1)Grinch was a very good talent evaluator / bad coach
2) subpar defensive hires by BV = delayed development /bad evaluations
BV should definitely have more of HIS recruits starting by year 3. The strength of this program yet oddly majority of them aren’t his players .just shows how bad Grinch was as a DC and how BV has had a bunch of misses
Offense
previous staffs players and recruits
Mims/2nd round
Anderson/freshman all American
Wease
Willis/all big 12
Stoops/all big 12
Gray /all big 12
farooq
Barnes
Sawchuk
Harrison/1st round
Guyton /1st round
Ryam /all big 12
Morris/3rd round
A TON of offensive talent that he inherited .
Even with a exodus of players leaving with Lincoln , he still left a bunch of nfl talent in Oklahoma .
Now that the previous staff left so has the talent /evaluations on that side of the ball
What did BV really bring to this program other than the best DT coach in America and much more sound defensive schemes?
You can say better recruiting classes on paper but in reality he had MORE talent in 2022 the day he walked in than what we have right now across the board
I will say alot of that is because of developmental
Issues on BOTH sides of the ball .

WR
RB
TE
