I am sure we will, just as I am sure the coaches are aware of that need and are already planning to develop the talent they will need.

Yes, the trick is going to be integrating the 2021 freshmen and some 2020 freshmen into the rotations in 2022. Otherwise, as mentioned, the 2023 team is going to be very thin.
Of course, a few injuries in most seasons take care of providing the inexperienced players a chance to show themselves.

The Wildcard here is how many players with an extra year of COVID eligibility continue to use it at HC. While I don’t expect 13 every year, say it’s 8-10 (and usually starters). The wave really wouldn’t start to subsidize until 2024 or even 2025. We know we are now going to be loaded on both sides of the ball in 2022. But just think about what the offense in 2023 could look like…(SSR designates Super Senior) QBs Sluka SR / Siderman SR RBs Purdy SSR / Forrest SSR / Fuller JR WRs Coker SR/ Asante SSR / Shorter JR / Shipman SR TEs Morris SSR / Pedersen JR OTs McMutrie SSR / Newman SR OGs Hanson SSR / Schon SR C ? More question marks on defense but I’d ride with that offense against almost any Defense on our schedule in 2023. Fun thought exercise but let’s focus on the next few weeks and enjoy 2022 first! Nice work. I think if you do the same on defense you will see a potential problem. The only current members of the roster who will be seniors or super seniors in 2023 and thus far have any real game experience on the back end include S Hunter Burns (SSR) and CB Terrance Spence (SR). The DBs will be very thin in 2023 if we don’t start assimilating more sophomores and juniors into the mix next season. I reference the question marks on defense starting in 2023 but Jacob Dobbs and Devin Haskins are defensive starters that would also be eligible Super Seniors in 2023. I also agree that 2022 will be huge to watch the progress of several players as they were two-deep or core Special Teams Contributors (as of the end of this season) and would appear likely to step into starting roles in 2023: DTackle - Dyer, Springer, Danolds D End - Vaganek and Thomas Kiessling (can he get healthy and realize the huge potential he showed as a freshman) LBs Bolden, Dixon DBs - Molton, Scott, Jarmolowich, Ruane There are several others to watch but those just jumped out at me without really looking. Brass tacks, offense looks to be loaded the next two seasons...defense stacked again in 2022 but lots of Questions about 2023.

Any word about official visits this weekend? I would assume that this would be the weekend to schedule them given the upcoming early signing day on 12/15

I haven't heard of any being set up, but I would agree with you that this would be a weekend to get kids on campus. Hoop team is at home this weekend also at 2PM against Siena.

Mark Forcucci QB from Wheaton North (Chicago) is on campus this weekend. Is this his second visit or did he commit earlier without a visit

This weekend is his official trip. He committed back in the summer when he and his father were visiting schools. He told me when I spoke with him that he just loved the school, campus and people. Nice young man. Better passer than Peter Pujals.

11 Recruits total on campus this weekend. Lots of our guys on social media who hosted putting the full court press on them to commit…so far a couple of the recruits themselves on IG saying complimentary things about our players, facilities etc.
Several of these recruits don’t just have offers to Group of 5 FBS schools but a few Power 5…Syracuse, Indiana, Rutgers etc. Amazing the programs we are going toe to toe with now….

They just got an OL recruit according to Coach Smith. Not sure who yet.

Seems like we landed a second OL today based on Smith’s latest tweet. Looking likely that Joseph Metzger is one of the 2.
