4-8 might be as good as Butch Jones' first year, but Jones' 4-8 team was much better.... remember the near upset of Oklahoma at PBS? This year's team would have lost by 50 to Oklahoma. But a win is a win, and it is nice to finish with a W against a very bad UConn team. (Did you see Memphis was up 49-0 against ECU yesterday at halftime?...how did we lose 48-20 against ECU?).
Here is what is needed in the recruiting department:
1. Several highly talented JUCOs, who can fill in the biggest voids.
2. Most needed position, PK. Get a kicker who can kick off and keep it in bounds, one who can kick touchbacks, and one who can automatically hit extra points and FG's within 45 yards.
3. A QB who is consistent. Hayden Moore did not play well this year, but remember, he did not have the receivers he once did. He still easily holds the AAC record for most passing yards in a single game (556). That happened when he had four great receivers.
4. DB's who can cover their receivers. We have not had a great DB core since the days of BK.
Beyond that, we have some good players already on the field and in the pipeline. Not sure who scheduled UC to open at UCLA next year, but my early prediction is that we will finish 6-6.
Finally, regarding AAC coaches, look for Frost from Central Florida go to Nebraska; Memphis coach to go somewhere. Strong at USF inherited a very good, very talent loaded team. Who knows how he will ultimately do at USF.
