Kyle Hamilton .9356 4 star
Isaiah Rutherford .9227 4 star
Litchfield Avajon .9151 4 star
K.J. Wallace .9009 4 star
That seems like a haul to me. Getting Rutherford from the West Coast and identifying Hamilton before the services did and closing on him despite OSU making a play is really impressive. The 2019 class seems really complementary with Hamilton playing deep and Avajon more in the box.

similar fortune with the RB's...Autry Denson doing a phenomenal job, IMO.
But the rest lack a little edge. Donte Vaughn was on his man on all those plays he got beat on but he lack the follow thru to bat the ball down or just flat out that 5% extra effort. Also seems like Pride plays tentative sometimes. Feels more like an attitude thing that Love just has. The rest are definitely technically sound just would love to see them fight a litttttle more and play the ball ike a WR. But other than that...this crew is ballin
The secondary play was not that great when Lyght was coaching both corners and safeties. The corner play improved substantially last year when Elko took over coaching the safeties and Lyght concentrated on the corners. Safety play took a big leap this year with Terry Joseph taking over. He must get some credit for the improved play there.

Lyght and Denson are doing a fine job of coaching them up.
