Not to be a broken record, but this signing comes with his fair share of warts as well. Pros are lots of experience, his coaches call him a leader, position of need. Cons are that he wasn't a starter on a Syracuse defense that was one of the worst in all of college football and he's coming off a season-ending hip injury and subsequent surgery.
Not saying he won't be successful and that he can't help this team (I'm sure he can), but with the limited amount of transfers we're taking compared to the number of holes we need to fill in the 2-deep we really can't afford to miss on any of these evaluations. And projecting production after season-ending injuries feels more akin to speculation than evaluation. Fingers crossed.
