It's because we took 5 LBs last year, 2 CBs and 2 S and have 3 DTs who are Soph or RS frosh this year. Our D is young, so we can't off PT as a major selling point.
Edit: What I meant to say is that we don't need to bring in a ton of players on the D side of the ball, so we can be very selective and just pick up guys to fit our need. We need DEs and that's about it. Next year probably should get 2 DTs. ..but with Wilson, Wheat, Jeremiah, Pickleman and now Worthy all in their 1st or 2nd seasons, that position looks deep for years to come. Add in Treadwell and you have a nice looking 2 deep at that position. Hoover will be in the rotation for DE for the next 4 years. Now you just need DEs to cover Trevor Anderson's departure in 2 seasons. I think we can find that.
Our D is promising, it'll be young, but talented.
